PRECONDITIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MUSIC PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION IN BUKOVINA (UP TO THE 1950s)

Abstract

The article generalizes the preconditions for the development of music pedagogical education in Bukovyna up to the 1950s, taking into account socio-cultural, community-educational, ideological, and personal factors. The main preconditions for the development of pedagogical music education up to the 1950s are determined as following: ideological pressure under the rule of Austria-Hungarian Empire, Romania; the multinational nature of the region; the development of choral singing traditions and the need to train teachers for choral activities; the establishment of music societies («Chernivtsi Singers' Union», «Society for the Promotion of Musical Art in Bukovyna», «Male Singers' Society», «Bukovyna Boyan», «Union», «Union of Ukrainian Professional Musicians», etc.); the opening of music schools, first of all, the M. Lysenko Music School in Chernivtsi; the establishment of the state Chernivtsi Men's Teachers' Seminary, its women's department, the functioning of private teachers' schools, the establishment of Chernivtsi University; the establishment of a pedagogical school, later a pedagogical college on the basis of the teachers' seminary; the opening of the Chernivtsi Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art, etc. An important precondition for the development of music pedagogical education in Bukovyna was the active position of representatives of various spheres of education, public and cultural figures, who, through their own professional, pedagogical, artistic activities affirmed national artistic and educational traditions (Y. Fedkovich, S. Vorobkevich, I. Sinkevich, A. Grzhimali, E. Mandychevsky, etc.). The outlined preconditions determined the need to affirm the traditions of artistic and pedagogical education in the activities of the «Musical Art» department at the pedagogical college since 1957, the first in Ukraine department of music among classical universities at the pedagogical faculty of Yurii Fedkovich Chernivtsi National University since 1992.
