METHODICAL BASIS OF THE CONDUCTING CHORAL ACTIVITY BY FUTURE TEACHERS OF MUSIC ART

Abstract

The disciplines of the conducting and choral cycle play an important role in the system of training the future music teacher, in particular choral conducting and choral class. Conducting a choral training team is a complex process, which consists in the development of auditory ideas, their implementation in specific sounding, auditory verification and correction. The effectiveness of conducting and choral activity depends on the complex application of methods that complement each other and contribute to the formation of a highly qualified and creative specialist. The methods of conducting and choral work are a set of methods of conducting activity used by the head of the choral ensemble to achieve the set goals in creative work with the choir.The basis of conducting and choral activity is a methodical system based on the mastery of the conductorʼs technique and method of working with the choral, as well as the mastery of the choir membersʼ vocal and choral technique of performing choral works. The method of conscious education of muscular freedom movement, which is based on self-awareness and self-knowledge of the individual, becomes important in the process of formation conducting technique. The auditory-muscular method of forming the conducting technique establishes a connection between hearing and the conducting apparatus. The method of associative perception is used for the effective formation of conductorsʼ inner sense of choral sound skills.So, the main methods of conducting choral work with a choral include: the method of presentment, verbal explanation, imitation, emotional influence, the method of conscious interaction between performers and the conductor, stimulation, problem method, exercise method, score analysis, rehearsal method. The usage of methodical techniques, which are the components of the chosen methods, ensures the implementation of the assigned tasks in the lesson. The choice of methods and methods of conducting and choral work depends on the specific conditions of the class, the level of performers training, the complexity of the work, etc. The creative contact with the choir depends on how clear and correct the conductorʼs methods and techniques will be, and how accurately they will reflect the artistic features of the music, and hence the brightness and inspiration of the performance.
