Abstract
The relevance of the research topic is determined by the increase in the number of working pensioners and people of pre-retirement age. This is due to the aging of the economically developed and developing countries’ population and an increase in the elderly people proportion in its structure. The purpose of the study is to provide the results of a study on the psychological prevention of stress conditions in pre-retirement workers by means of music therapy. A special music therapy program has been developed. The study participants listened to music and discussed the emotions that arose during its perception. The data obtained allow for saying about the expediency of using music therapy sessions as an effective way to harmonize mental state and increase the level of climate friendliness and stress tolerance. The study showed that the use of music therapy in order to build stress tolerance and restore and maintain the psychological health of pre-retirement workers seems appropriate, as it affects the dynamics of their emotional states, creates conditions for uplifting and strengthening the spirit, and restores positive thinking and communication skills. In the modern world, the use of these techniques is necessary, especially before the start of the working day, since human experiences an emotional morning exercise.
