PECULIARITIES OF THE MODERN MUSIC TEACHER PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to consider the specifics of the modern teacher of music art activity at school and the peculiarities of his professional training in a pedagogical higher education institution. The article analyzes the scientific literature on the definition of the concepts of “preparation”, “vocational training”, “vocational training of teachers”, “vocational training of music teachers”. The article considers the process of music teacher’s activity from the point of view of the application of necessary competences and personal qualities.The problem with the aesthetic and artistic education of schoolchildren is that the modern Ukrainian school does not have a clearly substantiated position on this. The reason is that there are no proper conditions for involving children in the acts. The mass culture prevails, the attention of children is not directed to understanding the specifics of art (in particular, national and foreign), and children themselves are little involved in creative processes. To overcome this problem, the future music teacher should learn the basics of emotional and artistic education during his training.As a result of the pedagogical research, it is determined that the modern music teacher should not only hold high-level lessons, but also possess the features of the organizer of cultural life at school. He can be a lecturer, an illustrator, a performer, a conductor, a head of the vocal circle, studios and club formations for music lovers among students.So, in general, the professional training of a modern music teacher should include measures that will promote the development of such personal traits and professional competences as: performing skill, pedagogical courage, ability to improvise, a broad outlook, and understanding of sociocultural processes in society.
