The article describes the role of the scientific school by E. B. Abdullin in the formation and gradual development of the author’s research positions in the field of pedagogy of higher school music education. The first stage is characterized by considering problem of forming the artistic culture of future music teachers in a pedagogical University.The research embodied in his doctoral thesis, developed under the influence of the vectors of musicological and pedagogical thought. In includes analyses of the interaction of music with other art forms as manifestations of the General laws of artistic activity of man, revealed in the phenomenon of artistic culture. Pedagogical interpretation of artistic culture allowed us to consider this category: a) as an integral component of the content of music and pedagogical education; b) as a professionally significant quality of the music teacher’s personality. The concept changed the status of historical and theoretical training of future teachers-musicians, which received the working title “pedagogical musicology”. The content of pedagogical musicology was determined by a culturological approach to the learning process, designed to solve practical problems of mastering music in synchronic and diachronic interaction with other types of arts.The second stage is to expand the cultural component of professional training of music teacher, becoming a cultural orientation that integrates musicology, cultural studies and the pedagogy of music education on the basis of higher spiritual principles of music as an art form. The cultural direction allows developing new scientific approaches in the content of master’s educational programs in line with the methodological concept by E. B. Abdullin.
