In the thesis on the basis of theoretical generalization the solution of the actual scientific-pedagogical problem of performing will development of future musical art teachers in the process of conducting-choral training through realization of the author’s methodology is substantiated and offered. The specifics of performing will manifestation in personal and professional aspects of artistic-pedagogical poly-communication with students is actualized, taking into account the spiritual potential of choral art and the specifics of conducting-choral training of future musical art teachers as a platform for their creative and pedagogical self-expression and professional self-realization. Pedagogical conditions and corresponding methods of the performing will development of future musical art teachers in the process of conducting-choral training on the basis of the considered methodological concept are developed. Such pedagogical conditions are: stimulating the desire of applicants to enjoy professional and personal success in a creative competition (methods: discussion session, TickTalk Challenge, Tutor Challenge, vocal-choral project); initiation of self-orders to overcome the discrepancy between the reference and real choral sound in order to achieve the best result (methods: creation of artistic and intonation frames, intonation modeling, auditory training, creative challenge); introduction of theatrical pedagogy as a creative resource to achieve maximum emotional-expressive influence on singers in the process of intonation and sound embodiment of the artistic-performing concept of a choral work (methods: artistic readings, image of the hero, conducting variations, destruction of myth); initiation of subjective activity of applicants for simultaneous reflexive monitoring of conducting-choral activities through analysis and prompt adjustment of performance efforts to achieve the desired sound (methods: impact monitoring, performance self-analysis, practice of simultaneous attention, practice of imaginary conducting).
In order to organize the diagnostic stage of the experiment to identify the state of development of the performance will of applicants, a criterion apparatus was developed to assess the levels of development of the studied phenomenon in accordance with the content of its structural components. The motivational-intentional component corresponded to the personal-axiological criterion, which allows to investigate the manifestations of personal-value orientation to achieve the desired sound result in the process of conducting-choral activity; the intonation-design component corresponded to the intonation-modeling criterion, designed to assess the level of conscious perception and realization of the artistic-intonational image of a musical work on the basis of the formed intonation-style standards; the communicative-energetic component was diagnosed with the help of interactive-expressive criterion, which reflects the degree of ability to emotional inspiration to involve members of the choir in the artistic and emotional field of choral work through the use of appropriate-expressive conducting technique; the reflexive-regulatory component corresponded to the correctional-coherent criterion aimed at diagnosing the degree of productivity of the intonation-auditory simultaneous control in the process of solving intonation-performance tasks.
Generalization of the results of the theoretical and diagnostic research provided for the development of the author’s methodology of developing the performing will of the future musical art teachers in the process of conducting-choral training, which involved gradual implementation of the proposed pedagogical conditions and principles. The molding stage of the experiment involved introduction of a series of disciplines of conducting-choral training of the applicants for specially organized technologies and methods, conditionally divided into three stages. The consolidation-impulse stage involves actualization, accumulation and systematization of knowledge, skills, experience of the choirmaster’s activities that applicants have; the productive-modernization stage is aimed at updating and deepening the existing knowledge, skills and abilities of the choirmaster’s work, taking into account the vector for the development and manifestation of the performing will; the creative-verification stage is aimed at practical verification, analysis and awareness of the experience gained, and its implementation in the performance-pedagogical activities.
