Ukrainian folk song as a factor in enriching the artistic competence of future music teachers in the context of non-formal art education

Natalia Sulaieva

The article substantiates the pedagogical potential of Ukrainian folk songs in the context of developing the artistic competence of future music teachers. Emphasis is placed on the importance of informal arts education, which is implemented in folk-oriented artistic and creative groups at higher education institutions. It has been proven that students’ informal arts education in folk ensembles and choirs contributes to the deepening of such components of the artistic competence of future music teachers as personal, cognitive, activity-based, and social. Theoretical analysis and observation of the activities of folk-oriented artistic and creative groups have made it possible to conclude that the performance of Ukrainian folk songs has a significant impact on value orientations, emotional and aesthetic attitudes towards art, artistic sensitivity, internal motivation for creativity, and the ability for artistic and personal self-expression. At the same time, ongoing musical and educational activities using folk songs contribute to the deepening of competencies in folk singing styles; voice classification in folk choirs; musical and expressive means of choral performance; methods of folk sound production; and components of Ukrainian vocal folklore. It has been proven that it is precisely in the context of informal arts education in nationally oriented artistic and creative groups that students are immersed in the world of Ukrainian song culture, which activates their internal motivation for creativity, strengthens their national identity, and improves the quality of their professional training as music teachers
