The structure of this notion consisting of personality-communicative and musical-communicative components, and their content is determined.Results. Personality-communicative component includes communicative skills and abilities of verbal and non-verbal communication related to the influence on the personality and the collective (didactic, organizational, constructive, and communicative ones, communication management techniques). The musical-communicative component is manifested through the ability to organize collective creative activity at the rehearsals of the military brass band, concert performances with the help of expressive means of conducting language. Conditions and ways of development of future military conductors’ communicative competence in the process of their professional training are analyzed.Conclusions. The development of future military conductors’ communicative competence is a purposeful, systematic and continuous process in the context of improving their professional skills, which is conditioned by the considered didactic conditions and the search for appropriate ways of preparing for professional activity during the educational period. The state of the problem being investigated requires further scientific research, namely to design the methods of the future military conductors’ communicative competence development during their internship in the troops.
