THE ROLE OF CHORAL ART IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MUSICAL EAR

This article explores the development of auditory skills in students specializing in Choral conducting at secondary educational institutions.

Purpose:. To study theoretical foundations of musical ear development through choir work, and to develop effective methodological approaches based on choral solfeggio and a system of vocal exercises.

Methods: The following scientific methods were used during the study: scientific –theoretical analysis,  pedagogical observation, experimental testing, comparative and systematic analysis.

Results: Musical ear is formed and developed through the active perception of musical material. A person’s rich musical experience and the ability to understand and perceive it by ear also develop to a high level.

Through music education, students learn to distinguish pitch, timbre, dynamics, and duration of sounds. These skills develop gradually and require regular practice.

Novelty: A systematic model for development of musical ear in collective performance has been developed, and pedagogical mechanisms have been defined.

Practical implementation: The main provisions of the article can be used in performing activities. Facts from this study can also be used as supporting material for complex work on choral works in the educational process.
