the article highlights the problems of developing the teacher-musicians’ performing skills on the material of works of avant-garde composers for folk instruments and proposes ways to solve them. Folk instruments and avant-garde music are still perceived as incompatible phenomenaby many contemporaries, and educational programs in the field of training “Pedagogical Education” (profile “Musical Education”) inherit the traditional approach, which implies the mastery of folk instruments by performers, primarily the classical repertoire, closely related to Russian folk culture. As a result, avant-garde compositions for an accordion or guitar remain out of the attention of both university teachers and their pupils, future specialists in the field of music pedagogy and cultural and educational activities. Conclusions of the study: it is necessary to change the attitude towards folk instruments and the educational potential of avant-garde music for folk instruments; training programs require improvement in the content and composition of disciplines, among which the analysis of musical works and the art of interpretation deserve particular attention; in the teaching methodology, preference should be given to the problematic method and the practice-oriented approach.

The activity of a teacher of music-pedagogical profile always involves the use of musical works. The latter makes it possible for teachers to use such musical works, the musical basis of which is available both for performance by the teacher and for perception by students. After all, students' perception of a teacher-performer will always be brighter than the perception of technical means for sounding a piece of music. In the classroom there is a kind of creative search for the teacher-performer (performance always requires considerable effort of imagination, creative inspiration). The teacher's verbal preface will help pupils to reproduce in their minds the necessary musical image, which serves to be a special coverage of the individual to whom there is a specific dedication of the cycle. The means of musical expression used by the composer influence the feelings of the listeners, develop their creative imagination, and the school lesson turns into a long-awaited musical meeting with the music of Bohdana Mykhailivna Filts. The piano cycle «Musical Frescoes» is an example of glorifying the musical impressions of the artist, which remained from the meeting with people of previous years, who became her friends and good acquaintances, with whom Bohdana Mykhailivna had to work in the field of Ukrainian musical art. Summing up the review of «Musical Frescoes» by Bohdana Filts, we highlight the general features of the musical language of the composer's works that influence and develop the creative potential of the future specialist, namely: application of traditional forms of musical expression (two-part and three-part musical forms); use of foreslags, soft syncopated rhythmic shifts; use of sound comparisons of polar registers; combination of homophonic-harmonic and polyphonic textures of representing musical material; emphasizing with a dynamic line the wavy development of musical phrases of the work, etc. The national character of the musical language of Bohdana Filts' works is manifested in the whole complex of expressive means of the composer's piano cycle, which provides a basis for the active use of the cycle in the educational process of various levels of musical institutions.

Policy as Practice: A Guide for Music Educators explores how policy impacts the lives of teachers, arguing that policy participation can matter greatly to how educational experiences are constructed. Articulating a progressive view of policy and its intersection with music education, the book helps the reader to see how policy as a concept and practice has permeated the deepest recesses of civil society and has had particular impact on the lives of those who are actively connected to the educational process. Indeed, for teachers, policy often evokes images of a forbidden or alien environment; it has been seen as above their pay grade, beyond their duties and responsibilities, or outside the reach of their capacities. Nothing, however, could be further from the truth. Challenging these assumptions, the book serves as a guide to those interested in the potential of policy and concerned with rethinking its meaning. Just as critically, it aims to help music teachers understand policy more broadly while providing doorways into policy practice. The goal is not to add policy conceptualization and practice to the myriad other requirements that befall teachers today. Rather, the book aims to position policy thinking and practice as already part of what they do and value, providing tools for music educators to own their place as participants and contributors to the policy process. The book offers a measured argument, providing conceptual and research-based findings in balance with practical exemplification, strengthening music teachers’ impact within learning and professional communities.

The article considers the implementation of a polyartistic approach in the educational process of instrumental and performance training of future music teachers, presents an alternative integrated-subject model of teaching a piano course based on general didactic principles and special methods of mastering musical works. The proposed model is developed from the perspective of the concept of interaction of arts which is realized by the current programs of secondary education.The purpose of the article is to justify the effectiveness of the integrative-subject model of teaching a piano course based on a polyartistic approach to the educational process using the principles of art pedagogy within the higher education system.It is noted that polyart education in a modern school puts forward fundamentally new requirements for a music teacher. His professional training should be based on integrative technologies that will promote the acquisition of special knowledge related to the ability to establish objectively existing links between a work of music and works of other arts, the ability to synthesize concepts, find common ground and implement a holistic, integrated, value-content analysis of a musical work. All these polyartistic skills, artistic knowledge belong to the essential characteristics of polyartistic competence, the formation of which becomes a necessary condition for artistic professionals.The concept of an integrated-subject model of piano teaching is based on a comprehensive polyartistic approach to the study of musical works, which is hinged on certain didactic principles and special methodological techniques, each of which cannot be distinguished; they all complement, interpenetrate, synthesize, accumulate in the educational process. The following didactic principles are considered: the principle of system-complex approach, which is focused on the combination of classroom, independent, extracurricular and professional-practical training of students; the principle of content and diversity, which allows the teacher to plan the technical, artistic and musical development of the student, taking into account his individual psychological characteristics and intellectual capacities; individual approach to the student, which involves the use of variability of the student’s curriculum depending on his performance capabilities and growth prospects; intra-subject, interdisciplinary integration and artistic synthesis, which forms polyartistic skills, develops in them polyartistic consciousness and thinking, cognitive interests in interaction with art.It is concluded that increasing the level of instrumental and performing training of future music teachers using the polyartistic approach equips them with a range of knowledge, skills and abilities that in the process of various educational activities are transformed into characteristics of a deeper categorical level, professional competencies, including polyartistic. The professional competencies developed by future specialists in the process of educational activity can be further transposed into their future professional and pedagogical activity.Key words: art education, piano performance, musical work, polyartistic competences, didactic principles, methodical receptions.

Concert and performance activity is an important component for future music teachers. It encourages them to analyse their needs, interests, inclinations. It contributes to the formation of personal significance, emotional confidence, ensures the independence of the performer in the process of professional training. Thus, the insufficient elaboration of the problem of preparation of a future music teacher for concert and performance activity becomes an actual one in the art educational process. The article is devoted to the problem of concert and performance activity of a future music teacher in the process of professional training. It reveals the principles of forming the readiness of a future teacher of music for concert and performance practice, analyses the research on this issue. The purpose of the article is to reveal the influence of the concert and performance activity as a kind of artistic creativity on the process of professional training of a future music teacher. The scope of research on this issue includes the definition of the most effective ways and methods of preparing future music teachers for concert and performance activity, as well as numerous aspects of the creative process in which the future musician-performer is involved. The methods and techniques of diagnosing the characteristics of an individual and his performance qualities are of particular importance. This allows identifying “problem issues” that require active pedagogical influence to overcome existing shortcomings. Universal approaches (systemic, axiological, competence) must be constantly combined with individual-personal, which takes into account the features (physiological, mental, ideological, etc.) that are specific to this person and that distinguish him from everyone else. The individual-personal approach is one of the most important tasks of studying the professional and spiritual formation of the person for the future music teacher. It defines the ability to create his / her own original musical world embodying the maintenance and values of a mussician-performer as the basic criterion of the readiness for professional concert and performance activity.

Independent Work

Under today’s conditions the system of higher education should gradually but steadily move from the transfer of information to managing educational and cognitive activities of students, to forming their skills of creative independent work. This problem is especially topical for students of artistic specialties, in particular, music students. Their independent work actively influences the nature and quality of educational process throughout the whole period of instruction, underlies artistic education and is an important part of training process. Based on the above, there is a need to reorient the educational process so that professional development of future specialists would be primarily aimed at forming the skills of independent work. The effectiveness of independent work directly depends on the methodology of its organization. It should organically continue classroom work. From the standpoint of management approach to the organization of students’ independent work we understand this category as a purposeful activity of the teacher, ensuring the effective functioning of educational process and development of professional skills of students as the objects of management. The technology of carrying out independent work by the student-musician largely depends on his/her performing skills, as well as command of methods of working on a musical work and methods of processing scientific and scientific-pedagogical sources. The teacher determines the type of independent work (for example, learning musical works of educational or children’s repertoire, scales, etudes, etc.), which is performed by the student, as well as where and how he/she reports on completing tasks for independent work. The system of independent classes should also cover other types of educational performance activities, namely: reading music at sight, transposing, creating variants of artistic interpretation, artistic-pedagogical and performance analysis of musical works, etc. Each of the listed activities has its own specificity and therefore presupposes appropriate forms and methods of independent work. Thus, the effective training of students of artistic specialties should be aimed at forming their ability to independent creative activity, which should become one of the strategic directions of building a qualitatively new system of training.

Preparatory Work

The development of a student’s artistic autonomy is one of the most important tasks in the educational process at higher education level. One of the methods of accomplishing this task is to teach students to work autonomously on the score. This is the first step towards helping a young conductor to get acquainted with a composition, to define one’s own vision of an artwork, to get prepared for cooperation with an ensemble and later for performing the piece on stage. Therefore, when reaching for a new score, a student should learn how to analyze it in terms of: form (taking into account the composition’s structure, harmonic layout, general knowledge regarding authors of lyrics and music, style), vocal-choral aspects (type and kind of a choir, vocal range, breathing, problems concerning voice production, diction, dynamics, agogics, articulation) and performance (manners of conveying one’s artistic vision, role of a conductor’s gesture, vocal-choral means of expression). A detailed analysis of the musical material advances performers towards proper interpretation, as close to the composer’s intentions as possible. Understanding the content and artistic idea behind the piece significantly eliminates ‘arbitrariness’ of performance. Getting acquainted with common influence of artistic means of expression, understanding the occurrence of particular elements of a musical language, comprehending the principles of a musical form, distinguishing characteristic qualities of a chosen composer’s style. These skills, developed over the course of analysis, help students respond to music more briskly, broaden their intellectual horizons, foster unassisted orientation in the musical form and language of a piece, develop perceptiveness and better memorization of a musical material.

The Paris avant-garde milieu from which both Cirque Calder/Calder's Circus and Painlevé’s early films emerged was a cultural intersection of art and the twentieth-century life sciences. In turning to the style of current scientific journals, the Paris surrealists can be understood as engaging the (life) sciences not simply as a provider of normative categories of materiality to be dismissed, but as a companion in apprehending the “reality” of a world beneath the surface just as real as the one visible to the naked eye. I will focus in this essay on two modernist practices in new media in the context of the history of the life sciences: Jean Painlevé’s (1902–1989) science films and Alexander Calder's (1898–1976) work in three-dimensional moving art and performance—the Circus. In analyzing Painlevé’s work, I discuss it as exemplary of a moment when life sciences and avant-garde technical methods and philosophies created each other rather than being classified as separate categories of epistemological work. In moving from Painlevé’s films to Alexander Calder's Circus, Painlevé’s cinematography remains at the forefront; I use his film of one of Calder's performances of the Circus, a collaboration the men had taken two decades to complete. Painlevé’s depiction allows us to see the elements of Calder's work that mark it as akin to Painlevé’s own interest in a modern experimental organicism as central to the so-called machine-age. Calder's work can be understood as similarly developing an avant-garde practice along the line between the bestiary of the natural historian and the bestiary of the modern life scientist.

The Music of Tragedy offers a new approach to the study of classical Greek theater by examining the use of musical language, imagery, and performance in the late work of Euripides. Drawing on the ancient conception of mousikē, in which words, song, dance, and instrumental accompaniment were closely linked, Naomi Weiss emphasizes the interplay of performance and imagination—the connection between the chorus’s own live singing and dancing in the theater and the images of music-making that frequently appear in their songs. Through detailed readings of four plays, she argues that the mousikē referred to and imagined in these plays is central to the progression of the dramatic action and to ancient audiences’ experiences of tragedy itself. She situates Euripides’s experimentation with the dramaturgical effects of mousikē within a broader cultural context, and in doing so, she shows how he both continues the practices of his tragic predecessors and also departs from them, reinventing traditional lyric styles and motifs for the tragic stage.
