MUSICAL IMPROVISATION TRAINING FOR FUTURE MUSIC TEACHERS

Abstract

. The article deals with one of the most difficult discourses of musical pedagogy – the question of possibility of teaching improvisation. The purpose of the article is to study possibilities of teaching students – future music teachers – the basics of musical improvisation. The article presents the technology of teaching musical improvisation, based on the stages of development of improvisation, highlighted by J. Pressing. The stages of implementation of this technology are as follows: embellishment, patterns and models, problem solving, play-by-ear, free improvisation. This technology of teaching improvisation was implemented with students – future music teachers. In the study, the method of a pedagogical experiment is used. The author of the article proves that the basis of teaching improvisation is the integration of the student’s creative development, the actualization of the personal and spiritual aspects of artistic reflection, as well as the streamlining and systematization of this pedagogical process. Also of no small importance is the special role of the teacher, who is able to encourage and not hinder the realization of freedom, creativity and intuition of musical improvisation.
