The article addresses the problem of educating the creative personality of the modern vocalist, who should possess not only the technical skills required for an independent performance interpretation, but also a broad artistic outlook, the ability to critically analyse musical examples, and the capacity to adapt to various conditions of professional activity and creative communication. These qualities are acquired through mastering many educational components, but they are developed most effectively during individual lessons, where a differentiated approach is applied to each student, taking into account their psycho-emotional, intellectual, vocal-technical, and other characteristics. The article highlights the interaction between student, teacher, and accompanist in solo singing classes at all stages of the learning process - from initial work on the text and rehearsal of technical challenges to the creation of an artistic image and preparation for concert performance. The features and main tasks of each stage are analysed, along with the potential problems that may arise. Special attention is paid to the role of the accompanist as a key communicator and co-creator in overcoming performance difficulties and shaping the artistic image. The specific dynamics within the teacher-accompanist and accompanist-student relationships are examined, with emphasis on the role and mutual influence of each participant in the educational and communicative process. The article also identifies effective approaches to working in a solo singing class that ensure not only the formation of vocal performance skills, but also a profound understanding of the artistic images of works from different genres and eras.References
