The purpose of the article is to consider the influence of music education on the organization of the time of children and adolescents, to emphasize the educational role of music in the period of growing up. “Children’s” fragments of E. Vodolazkin’s novel Brisbane and a collection of stories by the children’s writer N. Dashevskaya About Music, with reference to her other books, are analyzed. The subject becomes a cross-cutting motif of music, which holds together the artistic whole of the texts. It participates in the construction of plots, organization of the system of characters, influences the structural characteristics and lexical composition of texts. The importance of the musical motif lies in presenting to readers the relationship “teacher (master) – student” as a realization of the teenagers’ need for authority.
