The professionalism of music teacher‘s job is reflected by picking correct teaching methods, knowing how to combine them with artistic, musical activity and in that way achieving desirable educational results. Researches, announced in Lithuania, methodical publications, articles are not necessarily connected with essential problems of teaching solo singing. Music, vocal pedagogues confront with the problem discussed in this work – insufficient amount of methodical material about different methods of voice training and their adjustment. Due to the fact that there is a lack of such material in our country, in this work we will try to reveal the experience of singing pedagogues from USA and Denmark, with which we will try to complete this vacancy. The object of the research: peculiarities of modern methods of solo singing and possibilities for their adjustment. The hypothesis of the research: it is likely that the work of most Lithuanian singing teachers is not based on scientific analysis of vocal formation or new literature or ideas, which are announced in publications published in foreign language, or the newest methods of vocal work, but on personal experience. The aim of the research: to reveal and to summarize the peculiarities of modern methods of solo singing and possibilities for adjusting them. The problems of the research: to explore common and vocal educational methods; describe the basic principles of vocal training; to analyze the most relevant factors that determine the quality of the voice; to present specific methods of solo singing that USA and Denmark pedagogues have recommend; to analyze the attitude of Lithuanian teachers towards the singing methodic, paying attention to the sufficiency and adjustment possibilities during the process of singing. The analysis of the results of the research have confirmed that the training of voice formation and problems connected with it, the lack of Lithuanian literature on singing methods are indeed relevant to music and singing teachers. Overall 100 respondents took part in the survey: music teachers from Šiauliai city and region, primary teachers, who have music lessons, also students from Šiauliai University studying music pedagogy in extramural way. |
