Abstract

Studying the impact of an individual approach to teaching students’ performance subjects is relevant because of the brightness and diversity of creative thinking, artistic interests, and orientation of future specialists in the field of piano art. The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of person-oriented music pedagogy. The research methods are: monitoring the process of training professional personnel and their activities after the completion of education; surveying students and young performers; comparison. The results of this study shed light on the problem of an individual approach to the development of musical performance as a whole multifaceted system — one of the modern pedagogical models consisting of several blocks: stages of training based on an individual approach; its components; principles. The prospects of research include the development of a modernized training programme oriented to student’s personality. This is determined by the need to create an individual method of mastering the profession of a performer in the current conditions, which contributes to the development of students’ unique abilities and serves as the basis for their successful realization as an artist.
