ABOUT THE SPECIFICS AND THE CONTENT OF THE IMPROVING OF PERFORMING SKILLS OF STUDENTS IN CLASS OF LYRIC OPERA AND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA CODUCTING

Abstract

The process of improving of performing skills of students in class of lyric opera and symphony orchestra conducting takes an important place in educational practice. It is necessary to raise the quality level of orchestral performance. Improving students’ conducting skills is a laborious, multifaceted, multi-layered, multi-element process that requires attention, comprehension, and a deep methodological approach on the part of the teacher. The included spiritual and creative conductor’s performance activates the accuracy and artistic fullness of the musical fabric, affects the individualization of the orchestral sound. The contemporary performing art of the conducting is a strategically important, dominant link in the context of the orchestral performance. The process covers a whole palette of aspects: management of a musical group, individual work (preparatory, pre-orchestral), the art of interpretation, the conductor’s language, artistic, oratory data, the presence of philosophical, as well as analytical, intuitive, visual-figurative, visual-effective, substantive, tactile thinking. This phenomenon is a summative component that largely determines the quality of education. The task deserves understanding both on the part of teachers and on the part of students. At present, the practical experience of conducting is in many ways ahead of its theoretical understanding. The pedagogical process needs methodological support aimed at disclosing conducting skills and deepening skills.
