Abstract
The research is aimed at a comprehensive analysis of the educational potential of the discipline "Performing Skills of a Music Teacher". The relevance of the research lies in the importance of the professional, spiritual, and aesthetic development of future music teachers in the modern music education system. The formation of musical performance skills not only develops professional competencies but also fosters students' artistic taste, emotional culture, creative abilities, and spiritual and moral values. The purpose of the study is to determine the educational potential of performing skills in the educational process and to explore ways to apply it effectively in the training of future music teachers. The authors set the objectives of analyzing theoretical literature, interpreting musical works, using methods of artistic and imaginative analysis, forming students' aesthetic and pedagogical competence through concert and ensemble practice, and studying methods of reflective learning and the use of national musical heritage. The methods used in the study are theoretical analysis, the comparative analytical method, system analysis, pedagogical control, generalization of pedagogical experience, and pedagogical interpretation. These methods made it possible to evaluate students' artistic perception, emotional culture, and creative potential in the process of performing musical works. As a result, the educational potential of the discipline was determined to be high: students' performing skills, stage confidence, creative activity, and respect for national culture increased significantly. As the research discussion shows, the integration of practical hours and concert experience, interpretive analysis, and reflective methods increases the effectiveness of the discipline.
