Formation of musical and aesthetic culture of future music teachers: on the problem of defining a definition

the article is devoted to the pedagogical analysis of the problem of the formation of the concept of "musical and aesthetic culture of the future music teacher". The relevance of the research is determined by the need for a clear scientific apparatus for designing an effective system of professional training of music teachers. The paper provides a consistent conceptual analysis aimed at revealing the essence of the phenomenon under study through the decomposition and synthesis of its basic components: "musical culture", "aesthetic culture", "musical and aesthetic culture". The methodological basis was a corpus of theoretical sources, including fundamental works on the philosophy of art, modern research in the field of psychology of artistic perception, as well as scientific publications on aesthetic education and the professional development of a music teacher. To achieve the purpose of the study, a set of theoretical methods was applied, in the structure of which comparative analysis revealed invariant and variable interpretations of key categories in various scientific paradigms, and contextual analysis contributed to the reconstruction of the semantic field of definition in modern psychological and pedagogical discourse. The key result of the research is the author's definition of the concept of "musical and aesthetic culture of a future music teacher", interpreted as an integrative, dynamically developing personal and professional quality based on a system of value orientations, a complex of special knowledge, perceptual skills and reflective experience, providing the ability to deeply perceive music, implement creatively productive and pedagogically appropriate musical activity, as well as continuous professional self-development. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the presented definition of the author serves as a theoretical foundation for the development of models, technologies and criteria for assessing the process of forming the musical and aesthetic culture of future music teachers in higher education.
