МЕТОДИ РОЗВИТКУ НЕВЕРБАЛЬНИХ ЗАСОБІВ КОМУНІКАЦІЇ СТУДЕНТА-ХОРМЕЙСТЕРА В КЛАСІ ДИРИГУВАННЯ

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of conductor-choral training of future music teachers as an important component of their professional training in a pedagogical institution of higher education. It is noted that non-verbal communication of the future choirmaster is an important component of conductor training, along with mastering the technique. Performing practice, namely conducting, applies to non-verbal facial expressions and gestures when verbal or any other means of communication is impossible. Thus, as a result of synthesis and natural selection, a system of expressive gestures and movements was formed that make up the expressive-plastic conductor language. The researches’ analysis of the leading teachers-conductors and the relevance of the mentioned topics made it possible to formulate the aim of the article, which is to cover non-verbal communication means of the conductor-choirmaster and methods of their development in working conditions in the class of conducting. It is established that the center of nonverbal behavior consists of different movements: gestures, looks, postures, intonation-rhythmic characteristics of the voice, which are related to the changing mental states of the person and determine the expressive component. Such expressive behavior is the source of certain information for choir performers. Generalizing theoretical principles, the author substantiates methods of non-verbal communication of a student-choirmaster in a conducting class. Groups of exercises aimed at the development of the aforementioned conductor's abilities are presented. The author notes that exercises to develop the fluency of conductor movements’ possessing and the development of pantomimic skills are an effective means of improving the conductivity of future music art teachers. Not only reproductive methods, but also creative tasks presented in the form of role-playing games and small thematic scenes are used to develop pantomimic abilities. They help to release the conductor in the display of emotions and moods and motivate them to create their own original interpretation of the choral work. Keywords: non-verbal abilities, conductor-choral training, manual technique, facial expressions and gestures, student-choirmaster.
