The relevance of the study. The pedagogical, scientific and methodological activities of the outstanding Ukrainian teacher-pianist, scientist-methodologist Borys Ovsiyovych Mylych (1904–1991), a pupil of the outstanding teacher, founder of the Kyiv Conservatory V. V. Puhalsky, are highlighted, and the directions of his multifaceted activity are determined. The importance of Mylych as a teacher as an outstanding organizer and inspirer of the school-studio at the Kyiv Conservatory in the training of highly professional pedagogical personnel for higher, secondary and primary musical educational institutions of Ukraine in the second half of the 20th century is emphasized, as well as the compiler of an entire library of educational repertoire - a tenvolume series of manuals for students of children's music schools from grades 1 to 7, as well as numerous collections of works by Ukrainian composers for schools and music schools, which are in demand to this day.
At the same time, the situation of forgetting the significant methodological heritage of B. O. Mylych, which developed in the late 20th - early 21st centuries, is outlined. Namely: the absence of his works in the programs on piano teaching methods of secondary and higher musical educational institutions, the absence of scientific research of his numerous methodological works.

O. Mylych “Piano pedagogy”, compiled by the author of the article. The generalization method contributed to the formulation the main provisions of B. O. Mylych’s methodology.
