Methods and techniques of forming the performing culture of future artists-vocalists in solo singing classes

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of methods and techniques of teaching and consideration of the optimal ways of forming the performing culture of future artists-vocalists in solo singing classes. In accordance with the components of performing culture proposed by the author (motivational and value, informational and cognitive, control and reflection, interpretation and performance), a methodology for the formation of the performing culture of future artists-vocalists in solo singing classes has been developed, which includes four blocks of methods and techniques. Attention is focused on the practical aspects of teaching, such as working on vocal and technical exercises, developing diction and articulation, as well as working on the interpretation of musical material. The article also discusses the importance of using modern teaching methods by the vocal teacher in the solo singing class, which will make the class effective, interesting and informative for students. It is found that the key to a successful, competitive specialist in the field of musical art is a deep methodological awareness of students. The article describes the effectiveness of using such methods and techniques in solo singing classes as: “The method of stimulating interest in vocal activity through the use of factors of surprise” and the method of “Exemplary personal demonstration of a vocal work by a teacher”; the method of “Creating a situation of novelty of educational material” and the method of “Using musical games in the classroom of solo singing”; the method of “Technologies of teaching singing according to various methods of foreign teachers” and the methods of “Analysis of foreign methods of singing in the classroom”, “Creating a comprehensive program of teaching singing based on the integration of modern methods of vocal training”; the method of “Talk show” and the method of “Teaching vocal skills”. It is concluded that today in modern art education it is necessary to introduce innovative teaching methods for vocal students.
