STRUCTURE AND CONTENT OF ACTING ABILITIES CONDUCTOR-CHOIRMASTER

Abstract

. The article examines the content of the professional activity of the conductor-choirmaster; it is emphasized that using non-verbal means (gesture, facial expressions, pantomime), the choirmaster should be able to convey not only musical features (structural divisions of music, duration of sounds, dynamics, strokes, moments of the introduction of voices, etc.), but the meaningful characteristics of the performed work, including figurative and behavioral features of the characters, the development of plot dramaturgy, the specifics of the speech and intonation utterance of the characters. To do this, the choirmaster needs to have acting skills and think exactly “like an actor.” The author identifies three interrelated components (cognitive, motivational and technological) in the structure of the acting abilities of the conductor-choirmaster, substantiates their content and reveals the peculiarities of their manifestation in working with the choir.
