Pedagogical conditions for improving the choirmaster training of a future teacher-musician in the conditions of higher education

the article considers the problem of improving the choirmaster training of future music teachers in higher education. The main objective of the article is to reveal the need to develop / improve the choirmaster training of student musicians within the framework of the disciplines "Choral class and practical work with the choir", as well as "Class of choral conducting and reading choral scores". Achieving this goal is carried out through the identification and implementation of a set of pedagogical conditions: systematic self-education of student musicians in the field of choral performance; use of an environmental approach to the choirmaster training of student musicians; implementation of a point-rating system for assessing the quality of assimilation of choirmaster competencies. The features of the organization and implementation of pedagogical conditions in a higher educational institution are revealed. The main components of each pedagogical condition are described (analysis of choral scores; study of the author's methods of choir management; video and audio listening to choral concerts; analysis and classification of materials aimed at popularization of choral art and choral performance; systematic participation of students in concert activities and events aimed at developing conducting and choral skills and abilities; regular participation of the student choir in festivals and competitions of choral performance of various levels; attendance of classes; report on the implementation of independent individual assignments; monitoring of knowledge, skills, and abilities of students after studying each section of the discipline; analysis of choirmaster work with the course choir). The results of diagnostics of the formation of choirmaster skills and abilities in student musicians at the initial and final stages of the experiment are presented; the results of the study are analyzed. The positive dynamics of the final results indicate the need to implement pedagogical conditions that contribute to the improvement of choirmaster training of future teacher-musicians in higher education. The conducted research allows us to draw a conclusion about the validity of the stated statements.
