Methods of teaching professional disciplines in institutions of higher art education: Interdisciplinary aspect

Relevance. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the modern world is changing rapidly, and the educational process must be flexible and adaptive, so the study of teaching methods for professional disciplines is important and relevant for higher art education, the quality of which must meet the current challenges and needs of students. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to investigate pedagogical approaches aimed at improving the quality of education, forming a high level of professional competencies of students and improving the training of future specialists in the field of art. Methodology. The following research methods were used in the study: analysis, generalisation, systematisation, survey. Results. As a result, it was revealed that the modern stage of music education actively combines conventional approaches with the latest technological innovations. The use of digital resources and machine learning algorithms contributes to an individual approach to each student, emphasising the importance of a deep understanding of the musical phenomenon in the context of various scientific and artistic disciplines. This study highlights that teaching subjects such as �Basic musical instrument�, �Choral class�, �Vocals� and �Solfeggio� and focuses on the deep integration of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Conclusions. In the context of professional training of performing musicians on the main musical instrument, it was found that the key factor was the use of systematic pedagogical methods and strategies that maximise the student�s performance potential at each stage of instrumental training. It was confirmed that modern technologies, including audio and video tools, are effectively used to improve the educational process in all the disciplines under consideration. The paper notes that all the musical disciplines actively cover the study of the theory and history of music, taking into account the cultural context, contributing to a deeper understanding of the musical tradition.
