The article applies innovative approaches to research of Russian musical education. First, it compares the evolution of two teaching subsystems: playing Russian folk instruments and playing European academic instruments; secondly, both subsystems as well as system of folk instrumentalism, closely connected with the first subsystem, are studied as synergetic objects. Such an approach allows to reveal peculiarities and basic rules of their development. Analysis lets to state some reasons of crisis in the modern system of musical education caused by misbalanced inner and outer relations. Besides the research allowed to discover an important tendency in the subsystem of teaching folk instruments performers, the so-called postacademic syndrome demonstrating combination of negative outer representations of academisation.
