Abstract

The article examines the process of concertmaster professional work in higher education institutions in choral conducting classes, explores the peculiarity of the concertmaster professional activity within the discipline, which is the leading in the conducting-choral education system, systematized and specified the concertmaster professional requirements in the musical-pedagogical process, generalized and formulated psychological and creative aspects of the concertmaster’s work; the concept of professional concertmaster’work is proposed in the conditions of work in higher education institutions at the classes of choral conducting. In the choir conductor training system, the artistic and pedagogical efficiency of the classes is created by the efforts of two people – a teacher and a concertmaster. Despite the apparent unity, interpenetration and the organic continuity of each individuals work, their official status is significantly different: the teacher is always considered the main, leading person in the educational process, and concertmasters, according to the staffing schedule, belong to the so-called "teaching and support staff". Such the official definition puts them in a minor position. We will try to prove the principle error of this point of view in this article. Consequently, the problem of this work is the contradiction between the concertmaster official status and the real functions of his professional activities. Bythe content of his work, he is a full complement of the creative and pedagogical process, while the statute of "support" staff creates an incorrect orientation and causes some underestimation of the concertmaster’s work. The actual content of the teacher-concertmaster work and the truth of the significance of his activity in the system of conducting-choral education are still notsufficiently recognized at the official level. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to substantiate the true value of the concertmaster activity in the musical-pedagogical process and to form the concept of the concertmaster professional work in the modern musical-pedagogical process. The subject of the work is related directly to everyday pedagogical practice and it is stipulated. That’s why, the practical significance of the work is obvious and does not require additional explanations.
