Comparative study of the teaching system of vocal music in Chinese and Russian universities

modern music education is a flexible and actively developing system where intense intercultural dialogue takes place. The exchange of experience among educational institutions provides significant opportunities for improving the educational process and raising the level of preparation of pupils and students, refining vocal methodologies, enhancing teachers' qualifications, and fostering new international competencies. This relates to the relevance of the subject matter of this article, which focuses on analyzing the current state of vocal education in China and Russia. The purpose of the work is to investigate the characteristics of musical education for singers in both countries, describe educational institutions, and examine models of teaching singing at elementary, intermediate, and advanced stages of education. Corresponding to this objective, the tasks involve describing music schools, colleges, and universities in Russia and China, presenting a general overview of the features of music education, methodological principles, and repertoire. Scientific articles in Russian and Chinese, official websites of educational organizations, and statistical data from publicly accessible electronic resources served as factual materials for the research. The practical significance of this study will lie in analyzing the existing issues within modern Russian and Chinese music education and exploring solutions to these challenges.
