Features of teaching choral conducting to Chinese students in Russian universities

the purpose of the study is to identify the key difficulties of Chinese students' adaptation to polyphonic choral practice and to develop effective methods to overcome them. The article discusses the problems and prospects of teaching Chinese students choral conducting in Russian universities. The influence of the language barrier, cultural differences in the perception of music and the specifics of pedagogical approaches on the learning process is analyzed. Special attention is paid to the difficulties of mastering polyphony, which is rarely found in traditional Chinese musical culture. The objectives of the research are: to analyze the influence of the language barrier and intercultural differences on the perception and interpretation of musical material; to identify methodological difficulties in teaching polyphony; to evaluate the effectiveness of visual and practice-oriented teaching methods. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the proposal of a comprehensive adaptation strategy combining visual teaching methods, active intercultural interaction and psychological support. It is proved that such a system helps Chinese students not only overcome barriers, but also immerse themselves deeper into the Russian conducting tradition. The results of the study show that a flexible approach to teaching, including visual techniques and personalized learning strategies, significantly increases the level of material assimilation and the success of students' professional development. The developed recommendations can be used in the practice of teaching choral conducting to international students, contributing to their effective integration into the educational space of Russian universities.
