The article presents the results of a study on a problem of integrated vocal and piano teaching organization in the Chinese educational institutions. Recently, in China, the demand for music education has been increasing and the popularity of piano and vocal art has been growing, naturally forming the need for musicians-teachers with appropriate qualifications. In parallel with this trend, an integrative approach to teaching related disciplines is becoming a priority in the general education system of the People’s Republic of China, the demand for integrated educational courses and the design of integrated lessons is growing. Taking into account these trends, the authors of the article consider the integrative approach as the most effective and promising methodological basis for organizing vocal and piano training at the initial stage. Based on the analysis of multiannual Russian theoretical and methodological experience, the possibilities of organizing integrated vocal and piano training at the methodological, theoretical and methodological, structural and content, program-didactic, resource-technological and organizational-activity levels were determined.
