The dissertation work substantiates the relevance of the topic, formulates the goal and objectives, reveals the object, subject and methods of the study, characterizes the chronological boundaries of the scientific work, highlights the connection of the work with scientific plans and programs, presents the source base, reveals the scientific novelty and practical significance of the results obtained, reflects the forms of testing and implementation of the research results in practice. The scientific problem of the pedagogical school of Max Schlossberg and its significance for the development of American trumpet performance in the second half of the twentieth century is solved with arguments.
The school of Max Schlossberg in the scientific literature is analyzed and scientific approaches to it are clarified; the sources and scientific literature are classified in four areas: 1) foreign monographs dedicated to M. Schlossberg and his students; 2) documents from the archives of the Juilliard School; despite the fact that some of these documents do not have authorship, but are simply annual documentary journals of the life of the school; 3) articles and works of American scholars; 4) domestic research. All works are united by an interest in the creative personality of Max Schlossberg. A number of methodological approaches are highlighted for solving the selected topic, such as historical and pedagogical, paradigmatic, biographical, culturological and source-oriented.
The significance of the Juilliard School and the contribution of Max Schlossberg to it are determined and a terminological analysis of the main categories, concepts and terms in music education of the 20th century is carried out. It is considered that initially this art school, central to America, was planned only for US citizens, but then it significantly went beyond the borders of America - to England, China and other countries, creating "subsidiary" institutions there. The level of the school is extremely high – out of 100% of applicants, Juilliard accepts a maximum of 8% into its ranks of students, an understanding of how Max Schlossberg worked in his pedagogical direction, how musicians of his time perceived and used the main categories and terms is revealed.
The figure of Max Schlossberg is shown against the background of the era; it is analyzed that in the transitional era from modernism to postmodernism, the publication "Daily Drills and Technical Studies for Trumpet" is an extremely important pedagogical resource that generations of trumpeters and other brass instrument performers should use daily in their independent studies; it is found out that, given the importance of Max Schlossberg's school, his pedagogical approaches and his influence on the history of wind instruments, this methodological manual is still relevant today.
