THEORY AND PRACTICE OF TRAINING STUDENTS IN THE WORK WITH MUSICAL ENSEMBLES

Abstract

The problem of training students in the work with school amateur musical ensembles is considered in the article. The problem of their creation and dessimination seem to be topical for the modern world pedagogy, which can be explained by the the properties of musical art and the interest of school youth in music. The searchers’ studies which show that school children’s participation in amature forms of ensemble music making is an effective way of the organization of their free time, a means of their confrontations to negative temptations through which a significant part of youth go through are examined. The works of sociological character in which it has been attested that today the majority of pupils is indifferent to classical music are studied: their interest is limited by the entertaining genres the perception of which does not require any spiritual efforts or immersion into the rich complicated world of artistic experiences. The limited musical interests of schoolchildren is considered as a factor which essencially decreases the degree of usefulness of amateur forms of music making, the formation of their musical taste standards, «immunity» against musical phenomena of low artistic quality. It has been proved that the solution of the designated tasks can be acieved on the basis of competent pedagogical guidance of musical schoolchildren’s independent activity which might facilitate their comprehensive preparation for the implementation of a complex set of organizational, educational and musical-educational functions. The essence of the notions «musical-amature activity», «enlightened music lover» has been characterized; their difference from the essence of dilettantism has been detected: - - a clearly expressed need for musical and artistic experiences and impressions; - - the desire to improve their erudition, the ability to deepen the understanding of the artistic essence of musical phenomena; - - the experience of music perception as a spiritually-mediated communication by authors and performers of musical works; - - manifestation of activity in the process of improving their musical abilities. The role of the disciplines constituting an average curriculum in the training system of future specialists as leaders of musical ensembles has been designated. It is noted that their contents do not provide enough attention to students’ mastering of forms and methods of small creative teams leadership, which leads to certain spontaneity and fragmentation of their training in this kind of professional activity. The contents of the future musical ensemble leaders, taking into consideration the corresponding functions, have been characterized: organizational, educational, managerial. The requirements to the future specialist training in practical classes within amateur school ensembles have been substantiated: nurturing a sense of collectivism, formation of vocal and instrumental skills, development of schoolchildren’s ability to harmonize their actions in the process of collective performing creativity, readiness to alternate the role of a leader and follower in the process of playing music, mastering the skills of scenic culture. It has been proved that the formation of future specialists’ readiness for leadership of musical and ensemble activity requires the development of certain personal qualities ‒ sociability, the ability to be emotionally open, persuasive, which becomes possible if one has professional competence. A complex of competences which form a basis for successful leadership of musical ensembles has been determined: mastering the basics of performance technology in singing, playing a musical instrument and accompanying; the ability to interpret musical works, arrange them independently and creatively, adapting to the specific composition of performers and group members’ capabilities; possession of the fundamentals of the methodology of working with musical ensembles representing different types; the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in practice, varying them according to different context conditions. The ways enabling optimization of the process of training students in leading musical ensembles which represent two interconnected tendencies have been grounded: strengthening of integrative-coordination processes in the organization of the educational process and the formation of students’ ability to independently communicate and adapt the contents of the obtained education with the purpose of its use in solving actual professional problems. Some possible ways of realization of integrative processes have been considered, including strengthening of inter-subject connections, the use of modern information and communication technologies as a way of coordinating pedagogical actions, building education based on the principles of consolidation. Training students in mastering formation technologies of musicians-amateurs’ instrumental-performing skills needs further research.
