The vocal training also involves mastering the techniques of working with child repertoire, ensembles with different types of voice, etc. There are two aspects of vocal training – technological (mastering the vocal apparatus), as well as artistic and imaginative (the creative component of vocals). Special attention is paid to the advantage of the technological component in the process of training. Vocal training is considered as a complex and multi-aspect process which has powerful motivational and performance resource for students majoring in vocals.
