Ukrainian Choral Art in the First Third of the Xx Century in the Context of the Processes of National Cultural Revival

Abstract

In the article the tendency of activization of scientific interest in ethno-pedagogical and ethno-cultural problems in the field of theory and methods of musical education is considered. Ethno-pedagogical culture of a future teacher-musician is specified as an integral part of the general vocational and pedagogical culture. Its main sense constants are formulated, which include: reliance on the traditions of Ukrainian national culture represented by the Ukrainian folk music of different genres and classical musical art; the reliance on spiritual culture as a focus on the spiritual values of the Ukrainian national culture, in particular, on the values-relationships offered by the Ukrainian folk deontology and values-means, which include national symbols, folk mythology, folk calendar, folk knowledge; the reliance on the aesthetization of the socio-normative culture of the people as an orientation towards introducing artistic and aesthetic content into the material values of Ukrainian national culture, in particular, in ritual, folk architecture, costume, folk crafts. The leading ideas of Ukrainians are defined, among them are considered: the idea of unity, the idea of Ukrainian cosmism and the idea of national self-preservation. It is noted that the support of the teacher-musician during his professional activity on the sense constants of ethno-pedagogical culture makes it possible to broadcast the centuries-old experience of folk education on the basis of creative pedagogical interpretation of the philosophy and psychology of Ukrainian society. It is proved: the importance of studying the socio-normative culture of Ukrainians from the standpoint of integrity; necessity of pedagogical stimulation of motivated students to independent in-depth study of its components; the significance of laying the foundations of any Ukrainian educational deontology on the basis of any educational process in Ukraine, which ensures the practical functioning of the humane relations between the participants of the specified process; the expediency of future educators-musicians to understand the features of the Ukrainian people, one of which is the aesthetization of folk life, poetic-lyrical attitude to the beauty of Ukrainian nature. It is proposed to increase the planning of classroom hours for ethnographic and ethno-pedagogical training courses, as well as to introduce folklore practices in professional training of teachers-musicians.
