The paper dwells on an urgent problem of music and music-pedagogical education in terms of Ukraine and other countries worldwide - the formation of students' health culture by means of innovative technologies of artistic and creative music education. The objective of the paper is to highlight the results of an experimental study of the formation of students' health culture by means of innovative technologies of artistic and creative music education. Correspondingly, to study the problem, the following scientific research methods were employed, such as: a range of scientific approaches: cultural, competence and technological ones; a set of theoretical methods: deduction and induction, analysis, comparison, specification, classification, systematisation; modelling and generalisation; as well as empirical methods: observation, survey, tests, creative tasks, comparison, evaluation, didactic games, pedagogical experimenting along with mathematical statistics. The concept of student’s health culture has been defined as a systemic, dynamic formation of the student's personality, provided by a set of worldview values for human health and knowledge, skills, and abilities aimed at hygiene and health protection of oneself as well as others in both in-class and extracurricular educational activities. Consequently, the structure of the student's health culture is substantiated by four groups of criteria that correspond to the components of this phenomenon. The paper introduces the implementation of technologies for using musical plasticity development and artistic-breathing training, teaching musical improvisation and music creation, musical and artistic transformation, including artistic and creative reflection. Hence, the experiment to develop students' health culture through innovative technologies of artistic and creative music education was conducted. The effectiveness of these technologies in developing this phenomenon was experimentally verified and proven.
