Theoretical and methodological foundations of training future musical art teachers to play wind instruments

Abstract

The purpose of the article was to clarify the theoretical and methodological foundations of training future musical art teachers to play wind instruments in an interdisciplinary discourse. Among the theoretical foundations of training future musical art teachers to play wind instruments, a number of domestic musicological and music-pedagogical dissertation studies have been identified. To implement the purpose of the publication, a complex of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, comparison, analogy, systematization, generalization, concretization), specific scientific analytical (problematic, genetic, comparative analysis of scientific sources) methods was used, with the help of which an array of domestic scientific research in the field of musicology and music-pedagogical education was systematized regarding the theoretical and methodological problems of brass performance, in particular saxophone performance, and the training of future musical art teachers to play wind instruments. It has been established that domestic performing musicology in the field of wind music began to develop actively in Independent Ukraine. The growth of research interest in the phenomenon of saxophone training and performance in the research of scientists in both art history and theory and pedagogical fields has been noted. The methodological foundations of learning to play the saxophone include instruction on holding the instrument, positions of the body, head, hands, and fingers; breath setting and embouchure; articulation; application; optimal coordination of actions of the performing apparatus. We see the prospects for further research on the problems of instrumental training of future musical art teachers in the realization of the interdisciplinary potential of musicology and music pedagogy.
