Pedagogical conditions for the development of future Music teachers’ interpretative skills in the process of choral and conductorial training

The article analyses the essence, content and specificity of future music teachers' interpretive skills. The purpose of the article is to substantiate pedagogical conditions favourable for effective development of future music teachers' interpretive skills in the process of their choral and conductorial training. These methods of theoretical research are used: analysis, generalisation, synthesis, extrapolation, deduction, systematisation. Interpretation is seen as the basis and the necessary condition for understanding a piece of music, the subjective (personal) attitude and creative imagination of a teacher of music being of great importance. The essence of interpretation in the context of the activity of the Musical Arts teacher lies in the interpretation of an artistic text which reflects the content of the author's message in key note symbols. In the activity of the Musical Arts teacher, there are two forms of interpretation: performing and verbal-pedagogical. The interpretation of the choral work is considered in the article as an artistic-performing conception of the conductor which is based on his/her artistic and imaginative ideas, knowledge; it is realised in his/her creative interaction with the choral team. The list of specific interpretive skills to be demonstrated by the future Music teachers in the context of choral and conductorial training has been clarified. A system of interrelated pedagogical conditions has been offered, it includes these constituents: increase of future specialists' motivation for the choral and conductorial activities through realisation of the axiological potential of choral music; the implementation of the coaching pedagogical technologies into the choral and conductorial training intended for the future Music teachers; a systematic widening of future specialists' thesaurus of artistic and imaginative ideas. Further research involves the development of a step-by-step methodology for the development of future Music teachers' interpretative skills in the process of their choral training.
