The pedagogical orientation of the vocal education of the music teacher requires such a methodology, the content of which will consist in the purposeful influence on the motivational settings of the vocation of students; development of vocal-technical and artistic-performing skills and abilities; formation of evaluation and analytical skills; assimilation of the scientific and theoretical knowledge base on vocal pedagogy issues; observance of the norms and rules of protection of the singing voice. The methods of vocal training of upcoming of musical art teachers should provide for the formation of skills of conscious coordination of vocal activity of students, which will consist of a clear understanding of the basics of the vocal training. Analyzing the process of vocal training in academic singing in higher educational institutions, we are convinced that in general the teachers are engaged in raising the correct sound formation of the student's voice. The development of vocal skills for public performing is often as a priority, but sometimes such teacher-vocalist does not take into account the important of pedagogical tasks educating the creative personality. After all, upcoming specialist should have a high intellectual level; he is obliged to improvise, as well as offer own interpretation of vocal works. An important pedagogical problem in the vocal training of upcoming teacher-musician is the protection of the students' voices during their studies at a higher educational establishment. A student-musician must get some medical knowledge about the rules of work and leisure (to know basics of disease prevention methods in vocal apparatus).
