Abstract:

This article thoroughly analyzes the contemporary paradigm of academic and pop vocalist training amidst the dynamic transformations within modern art education. It delves into the distinct historical and cultural origins of both vocal schools, meticulously examining their differing teaching methodologies, the specific demands placed on performers, and their unique sound production techniques.

A significant portion of the research is dedicated to exploring the emerging trends of hybridization and interdisciplinary approaches that are increasingly prevalent in modern vocal pedagogy. This includes the integration of advanced digital technologies, such as online learning platforms, mobile applications, and specialized vocal sound visualization programs (VoceVista, Sing&See). These tools are highlighted as crucial for enhancing remote learning, self-monitoring, and enabling a more personalized educational experience.

The article also investigates how these innovations facilitate the development of a universal type of vocalist, capable of confidently navigating diverse genres and performance settings‒from classical stages to recording studios and pop concerts. Conclusions are drawn regarding the promising prospects for a comprehensive integration of established academic traditions with the inherent freedom and adaptability of pop performance within the current vocal education system. This fusion aims to equip vocalists with flexible competencies essential for the dynamic demands of the 21st-century music market.

Keywords: academic singing, pop vocal, vocal pedagogy, hybrid learning, art education, teaching methodology.
