THE FORMATION OF VOCAL AND AUDITORY SKILLS OF THE FUTURE MUSIC TEACHERS

Abstract

Formation of vocal and auditory skills of future music teachers is an urgent task of the system of music professional education at the present stage. Updating the music education system, new target settings require students to more consciously acquire learning knowledge and skills, among which vocal and auditory are the leading ones. Attempts to scientifically substantiate vocal and pedagogical practice were made during the existence of the old Italian school. However, most works, both domestic and foreign, do not provide a comprehensive scientific substantiation of the theory of singing art. The problem of development and training of future teachers of music in the class of voice production, improvement of their vocal and performing skills, is receiving much attention today in both art and pedagogical activity. The purpose of the article is to generalize the acquired scientific and practical experience in the field of formation of vocal and auditory skills of students – future teachers of music art. To achieve the goal, a set of theoretical methods were used, including: analysis and systematization of scientific sources in order to identify the state of development of the problem under study; terminological analysis to determine the nature and content of key research definitions; analysis, generalization, and systematization to determine the potential effectiveness of methodological approaches. The theoretical background for creating a technique for forming vocal and auditory skills of future music teachers is analyzed in the article. The necessity of vocal training of students – future music teachers as an important component of their professional training is proved. Scientific approaches to the development of such leading vocal and auditory skills as: singing voice, vocal breathing, melodic hearing are analyzed. The authors found out that the implementation of the process of development of vocal and auditory skills requires a clear construction of the strategy and tactics of pedagogical activity to create a teaching methodology. Thus, according to the analyzed vocal-pedagogical and methodological literature, psychological and pedagogical bases of vocal-auditory skills formation, psychophysiological aspects of the development of vocal voice, the structure of the process of vocal-auditory development of future pedagogues-musicians was formed. As well as the formation of scientific-methodical base of the knowledge motivation to study singing, formation of vocal, technical and auditory performing skills. Having studied the problem of development of singing voice of students – future musicians-teachers, they concluded that there is a need for a clear strategy and tactics of pedagogical activity aimed at the development of vocal and auditory skills of the latter
