THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE PROBLEM OF FORMATION OF VOCAL CULTURE AMONG FUTURE CHOIRMASTER CONDUCTORS

Abstract

The theoretical and methodological aspects of the problem of forming the skills of vocal and performing art as key for conductors-choirmasters are considered in the scientific literature in the context of the concept of “vocal culture” as a type of spiritual activity of a person, the most important component of which is also the concept of “singing breathing”. Both components of the professional competence of the conductors-choirmasters are considered in the article in the context of the methodology for teaching future conductors vocal and performing skills and pedagogical approaches to the formation of vocal culture among choirmaster. The physi- ological prerequisite for the formation of a vocal culture in the future singer or choirmaster is a properly set singing breath. Methodological developments, respiratory exercise systems and trainings of A.N. Strelnikova, Y.A. Kovner, P.V. Golubeva, I.P. Pryanichnikova, N.B. Gontarenko, D.I. Ogorodnova, S.M. Sonki, L.V. Romanova, S. Riggs are devoted to its development. The most effective method for the formation of vocal culture among future conductors-choirmasters today is integrating the best achievements of domestic and foreign vocal teachers and combining exercises from different systems, specially selected for each particular student in accordance with an individual-personal approach, natural for learning vocals.
