Abstract

The article reveals the pragmatic aspect of the psychological training of future music teachers and reveals its specificity. This specificity lies in the fact that knowledge and skills from the field of psychology in the professional activity of a music teacher should ensure the comprehension of the emotional-figurative content of a musical work, and not familiarization with it as an object of study, as it happens in the development of other educational disciplines. The role of psychological knowledge for solving many other tasks solved in the process of musical education, carried out both in collective and individual forms, is also indicated. At the same time, two ways of forming psychological competencies are indicated – explicit, associated with the module of psychological disciplines, and implicit, which consists in the fact that psychological knowledge penetrates into the depths of performing and musical-theoretical training, providing an understanding of the mechanisms of perception, performance of music and mastering the algorithms of the teacher’s work on creation of conditions for its adequate artistic perception, which is the comprehension of musical meaning. In the study of the problem of the mechanisms of the emotional impact of music and the emergence of non-auditory sensations and perceptions are considered; the importance of mastering this (essentially psychological) information for the future musician teacher is shown. The proposed way of improvement the psychological training of a teacher-musician provides a solution to a dual task – improvement his personal qualities (which is facilitated by the perception of high music) and improvement his professional skill in organizing the process of musical perception of learners. This is able to ensure the birth of deep feelings in them.
