Pedagogical conditions for mastering the vocal cycles of European composers in the course of the history of foreign music by students from the People's Republic of China

students-musicians from the PRC, receiving professional training in Russian universities, to one extent or another master the works of Western composers in courses of theoretical (history of Russian and foreign music, analysis of musical works) and practical (piano, choral singing, chamber ensemble and others) disciplines. At the same time, Chinese students are faced with problems of both understanding the imaginative, semantic, and emotional content of the vocal cycles of European composers, and the style of their performance, due to a complex of reasons from an insufficiently high level of proficiency in Russian and European languages to national-cultural, genre-style, melodic-rhythmic and other differences between Chinese music and studied by students of Western European. Special pedagogical conditions contribute to solving the problem, including: studying cycle programs, historical and cultural context, theoretical foundations of European music, conducting a complete analysis of works, including comparative ones, applying a style approach, a multi-artistic method, the principle of associativity in the development of emotional-imaginative thinking and visualization to intensify auditory perception of music.
