Abstract
<jats:p>The article highlights the theoretical and practical aspects of the formation of the performance experience of future bachelors of musical art in the process of piano training. The feasibility of forming this phenomenon from the standpoint of the competence paradigm of education and creating a unique interpretative version based on the formed performance experience and manner of performance is substantiated. Based on the analysis of scientific works, the feasibility of studying the category of “performance experience” from philosophical, psychological, pedagogical and musicological positions is clarified. The multifaceted nature of its definitions and interpretations related to “consciousness”, “activity”, “cognition” is proven. The stages of acquiring experience are noted, its role in the development of the individual as a subject of learning and the revaluation of the value system is determined. The influence of language and culture, innate abilities and skills on the formation of experience is determined. Performance experience is defined as a multi-stage process based on intellectual understanding, emotional experience and technical reproduction of music, in which the musical text is transformed into a unique musical phenomenon. In the context of the formation of the performance experience of future bachelors of musical art, the experience of independent work on a musical work (step-by-step processing of the musical text, analysis of thematics, structure, means of musical expressiveness, genre and style features), experience of musical and interpretive activity (including search and creative, interpretive and performance and concert components), experience of concert performances (participation in concerts, competitions, festivals), experience of accompanist activity (reading from a sheet, picking by ear, transposition, improvisation, etc.) was considered. Negative and positive factors influencing the formation of performing experience are considered..</jats:p>
