This paper outlines methods for developing healthy lifestyle skills in medical students through music education. It is substantiated, both theoretically and practically, that innovative methods such as the integration of music and movement, music-therapeutic reflection, and rhythmic autogenic exercises help enhance students’ psychophysiological stability, reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and develop metacognitive skills. Within the instructional process, step-by-step learning activities, reflection journals, and group discussions guide students to consciously assess and reinforce their healthy lifestyle habits.
