PERFORMING CULTURE AS AN OBJECT OF MUSICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL DISCOURSE: CATEGORICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The article presents results of a study in the field of music pedagogy concerning the problem of the musician’s performing culture formation. In the depths of many national schools, a narrow approach to the content of training performers still prevails, focused solely on the technical skills formation that only allow mastering concert and competitive repertoire of a high level of complexity. The Russian Performing School, based on the original artistic and aesthetic principles of the great founders of academic music, true spiritual values and a systematic approach to the musicians’ education, is a unique platform where methodological, multi-scientific theoretical, methodical and technological knowledge, repeatedly tested and proven to be effective, is concentrated. Such rich experience allows modern researchers to concentrate on the structural and functional analysis of the concept of “performing culture”, as well as its constituent synonymous terms in order to build the most effective pedagogical strategies for the formation of this high-quality education of the individual during the training and upbringing of new generations of musicians.
