The state of formation of vocal-pedagogical culture among future music teachers

The article analyzes the level of formation of vocal pedagogical culture among future music teachers. The formation of a vocal pedagogical culture is an important task that helps them effectively train and educate students in the field of vocal art. There is a problem in the education of students – a decrease in the level of artistic and aesthetic needs. Most students prefer to listen to samples of low-quality mass youth music that does not meet the criteria of artistry. One of the reasons for determining the unformed musical and aesthetic taste of the younger generation is the lack of information about artistic examples of vocal culture and domestic and foreign performance. In this context, special attention should be paid to the training of vocational education specialists who are capable of creating an alternative to pop culture, preserving and enhancing the best traditions of professional musical art. To solve this problem, it is necessary to obtain special theoretical knowledge that will contribute to the development of the performing culture of the future music teacher. In the framework of our research, the concept of vocal pedagogical culture is considered as a certain integrative quality of a person, which includes a value attitude towards the heritage of humanity in the field of various types of singing activities, a high level of professional abilities (in the field of vocal pedagogy), a high vocal and performing level, as well as creative component in vocal and pedagogical skills.
