Introduction
.
Art has a miraculous power that enriches a person's soul, expands his
worldview, and reveals his creative abilities. In particular, the art of music plays
a special role in human life. The discipline of choral conducting has a special
place in this type of art. Because choral conducting is an important tool not only
in the field of music, but also in expanding the creative potential of the
individual. The process of working with a choral team is not only the
performance of musical works, but also the upbringing of artistic and aesthetic
feelings, the development of creative thinking.
Today, one of the main tasks of the education system is to educate creative
youth, to reveal and develop their musical abilities. The implementation of this
task in the discipline of choral conducting depends on the approach of teachers.
It is extremely important to support creativity in the educational process,
develop students' musical feelings, and develop their thinking skills by
introducing modern pedagogical methods and innovative technologies.
This article is devoted to the study of approaches aimed at developing
creative abilities in the discipline of choral conducting. In this process, the
influence of choral art and the pedagogical significance of creative cooperation
are revealed. Because choral conducting is not only music, but also a kind of
creative school.

The development of creative abilities is not only a complex and multifaceted
process of identifying natural talent, but also its formation and direction. In the
discipline of choral conducting, it is necessary to establish the correct
methodological foundations to ensure the effectiveness of this process. In
particular, it is extremely important to organize the pedagogical process taking
into account the individual characteristics of students and create an
environment that inspires creativity.
At the heart of the methodological approach are innovative and interactive
methods aimed at forming creative thinking in the musical and educational
process. In particular, the use of game pedagogical technologies, training
through musical dialogue, and creative experiments in choral performance are
among the most effective methods for developing creative abilities. Such
methods not only cultivate musical taste and rhythmic sense, but also form
creative initiative in students.
Also, in the discipline of choral conducting, it is important to teach students
a culture of musical cooperation and teamwork. In this process, emphasis is
placed on methods that develop a deep understanding of the role of each
participant and the ability to appreciate the artistic value of collective
performance. In particular, the interpretation of choral works based on the
“creative laboratory” method, joint analysis of voice parts, and the search for
new artistic ideas during the performance process create a favorable
opportunity to improve creative abilities. In addition, the use of multimedia
technologies in the discipline of choral conducting opens up new horizons for
the development of creativity. The implementation of the process of notational
analysis of choral works, visualization of rhythmic schemes, and work on sound
balance in an interactive format using special programs serves to improve
students' musical abilities.
Thus, in order to successfully organize the process of developing creative
abilities in the discipline of choral conducting, it is necessary to combine various
methodological approaches. These methods serve to further reveal the creative
potential of students and expand their musical aesthetic outlook.
Discussion
.
When we analyze the methodological approaches to developing creative
abilities in the discipline of choral conducting, the importance of this process in
ensuring not only musical skill, but also general personal development is
revealed. Creative approaches play an important role in ensuring the specific
characteristics of the choral ensemble, its internal coherence and harmony. In

this regard, it is necessary to develop the creative potential of each conductor,
choir student and team members to the maximum.
First of all, enriching the teaching process in the discipline of choral
conducting with innovative pedagogical approaches is an effective tool for
increasing the creative thinking of students. In choral art, creative abilities are
not limited only to technical skills, but also aspects such as aesthetic
understanding, self-expression and artistic sensitivity are important. Therefore,
in choral conducting classes, interactive methods, musical hearing, note analysis,
rhythmic exercises and compositional elements are required. These methods not
only enrich the musical experience, but also reveal the creative potential of
students.
Secondly, the issue of developing creative cooperation, team spirit and
mutual trust, which are important in choral performance, also deserves special
attention. It is necessary to pay attention to the behavior, attitude to music and
artistic expression of each member of the choral team. The role of the conductor
in the development of creative abilities, the adaptation of the team to each other
and the development of musical perception is invaluable. The success of the
choir depends on its leadership, the complementarity of its members and the
artistic image they create together.
At the same time, the use of technologies in the development of creative
abilities in choral conducting also plays a great role. Modern multimedia tools,
music programs and interactive platforms expand students' creative
approaches, creating new opportunities for them. Depicting notes and rhythm,
controlling the sound balance, analyzing choral works in digital format and
performing exercises online open up new ways of musical expression for choir
students.
However, in order for all methodological approaches to be effective, they
require taking into account the individual characteristics of students and the
pedagogical experience of the teacher. It is necessary to look at each student as a
unique person, identify his creative potential and choose an approach that is
appropriate for them. In ensuring creative development in the discipline of
choral conducting, the teacher's intuition, emotions and pedagogical skills play
an important role.
In conclusion, when methodological approaches to developing creative
abilities in the discipline of choral conducting are implemented in a broad and
complex, but effective system, students' abilities in understanding, expressing
and performing musical art are revealed. By properly organizing this process,

supporting creativity and forming a team spirit, it is possible to achieve
significant results in the discipline of choral conducting.
Conclusion
.
The development of creative abilities in the discipline of choral conducting
is not only an important component of musical education, but also one of the
main tools for ensuring the personal and artistic development of students. This
process is based on the principles of creativity-oriented education, in which it is
important to teach each student to deeply feel the musical image, express it
artistically and think creatively.
The analyzed approaches indicate the need to use integrated methods in
the development of creative abilities in choral conducting classes. In addition to
acquiring technical knowledge, choral art also develops musical and aesthetic
abilities. Therefore, the use of innovative pedagogical technologies, the
introduction of interactive classes, the promotion of collective creativity and the
formation of creative cooperation in the process of providing students with
musical experience are of great importance.
In addition, choral conducting classes not only develop musical skills, but
also enrich students socially and psychologically. In the process of working in a
choral team, students learn to listen to each other, understand each other, and
combine creative ideas. This develops qualities that are important not only in
the field of music, but also in other aspects of life.
At the same time, each approach to developing students' abilities in choral
conducting requires an individual approach. The creative potential of each
student is different, and the teacher's skill and pedagogical intuition play a great
role in their development.
In conclusion, the development of creative abilities in choral conducting is a
complex but inspiring process. Through this process, students understand
musical aesthetics, learn to express themselves through art, and develop as
individuals. Thus, choral conducting is not only an art form, but also an
important tool for the formation of a creative personality.
