ПІДГОТОВКА МАЙБУТНЬОГО ФАХІВЦЯ-МУЗИКАНТА НА ЗАСАДАХ МІЖДИСЦИПЛІНАРНИХ МОДЕЛЛЕЙ ВІЛЬНИХ МИСТЕЦТВ

Abstract

The article highlights the problem of improving the training of future specialists-musicians through introducing an interdisciplinary model of Free Arts into educational process. This model differs fundamentally from the traditional, narrowly specialized approach to choosing a profession. Its implementation allows, along with the acquisition of professional competencies that constitute the essence and specifics of the profession, to build an individual trajectory of professional development of each student, based on his abilities, capabilities, needs, preferences in the number of trends of the chosen specialty, as well as to obtain such important for a present-day specialist qualities as critical thinking, responsibility, tolerance, sociability, ability to work in a team, respectful attitude to others, flexibility and adaptability in the labor market. A specific feature of professional art education according to Free Arts model, in contrast to the traditional one, is the possibility of combining the main direction of studies, (major), with the additional one, (minor), which differs from the main trend and is of certain interest for a student himself or herself. Being free from the authoritarian idea of ways of acquiring knowledge by students, this interdisciplinary model gives students an opportunity for independent construction of an individual trajectory of their personal professional development according to a personality choice. Based on the teacher's orientation towards students, flexible curriculum, broad disciplinary coverage and depth of subject study, interconnection of disciplines and freedom of choice of courses, the Free Arts model determines the solution of certain problems in the university education system, in particular, the crisis of disciplinary specialization; academicism and an excess of lectures; lack of partnership between teachers and students, detachment of theory from practice; inability of students to think critically and freely. The introduction of innovative educational programs for professional development of future specialists-musicians, who are targeted at student development and able to implement the Free Arts and Sciences model in the art educational space of universities, is one of the ways of successful reform of music education in Ukraine.
