Abstract

The article analyzes the historiographical, philosophical, and pedagogical foundations of the dialectics of Enlightenment as a significant cultural heritage of humanity. The main features of its content are identified to enable their application in modelling the methodology of adolescents' vocal-performance training. Methodological directions of the process of teaching adolescents singing in vocal classes are determined, considering their preparation for cultural and educational activities in the context of age-related characteristics, performance experience, as well as external and internal factors influencing the acquisition of vocal-educational skills. The study identifies the content of contemporary adolescents' preferences regarding performance-based creative activities within the framework of relevant subcultures and the active dissemination of vocal shows in mass media. A shift of emphasis in vocal-performance practice from professional vocal training towards the external effect of short-term performance is revealed. The necessity of a specific methodological approach to adolescents' educational outreach activity is substantiated. The dialectical meaning of the development of Enlightenment as a historical and cultural tradition and the possibility of its further historical dialectical evolution are conceptualized. The importance of facilitating specialized training in musical professions is emphasized, as well as creating a foundation for the younger generation, as subjects of education, to further explore the richness of national and world musical culture and its internationally significant terminological dimension. Particular attention is paid to such characteristics of Enlightenment as democracy, rationality, historical optimism, and universal human purpose and meaning in a historical context. It is argued that all content characteristics of this phenomenon are preserved within the context of adolescents' vocal-performance training, as they act both as recipients of the results of Enlightenment and as potential successors in continuing the historical cultural heritage of humanity through musical education.
