Abstract

The originality of instrumental musical interpretation is a distinctive feature of each musician, influencing and reflecting their artistic style and worldview ideas. The study aims to determine the peculiarities of the influence of an individual teaching method on the development of instrumental musicians’ performance skills. General theoretical analysis, comparison and observation techniques were used to achieve this goal. The final results were also based on the skill level coefficient, quality coefficient, and Mann-Whitney test calculations. The research process provided for developing individualized training for future instrumental musicians, focusing on developing interpretive and technical skills, artistic interpretation and improvisation. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of using the developed individual approaches to teaching musicians-instrumentalists, taking into account their capabilities. Prospects for further research can be to compare the effectiveness of an individual approach to teaching musicians-instrumentalists of primary school age and students.
