Abstract:
NG PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE The article substantiates methodological ways and practical forms of implementing an improvisational approach in the process of ensemble music making by future teacher-musicians during pedagogical practice. The specifics of implementing improvisational strategies in various types of activity are considered: vocal-choral ensembles (methods of texture modeling and vocal aleatorics), conductingchoral practice (system of manual control of the improvisational process), chamber-instrumental performance (method of genre allusions, ornamental variation, harmonic determination). Special attention is paid to the use of game models («game compositio», «tonal labyrinth», «rhythmic lotto»), which contribute to the elimination of psychological barriers and the stimulation of cognitive flexibility of students. It is proven that improvisational interaction transforms the role of a student-intern from a passive performer into a creative facilitator, ensuring the formation of a holistic musical personality in the conditions of modern art education. The systematic implementation of creative work methods allows us to overcome the traditional reproductive nature of learning and transform the educational process into a living dialogue, where the student-intern masters the roles of a creative facilitator and moderator of the artistic process. Analysis of practical experience proves that the involvement of improvisational elements contributes to the intensive development of cognitive flexibility, empathy and professional lability in both students and their students. The use of various types of ensemble playing, including instrumental duets, vocal-choral ensembles and conducting-choral practice, provides a comprehensive impact on the formation of a holistic creative personality, capable of freely operating with sound material in real time, and the creation of an atmosphere of psychological freedom and the regulated implementation of creative tasks allow us to effectively transform the passive reproduction of musical text into an act of active artistic cognition, which is the main requirement for a modern specialist in the art field.
Keywords: improvisational approach, ensemble play, pedagogical practice, musical improvisation, creative self-expression, artistic interaction, game models, musical and pedagogical education.
