Abstract

The paper focuses on process of forming music education at singing and music lessons in Krasnoyarsk secondary schools in the late 19th – early 20th centuries. These very lessons of singing and music gave students skills in church and folk singing. During this period, due to the participation of professional musicians singing lessons’ program was modified: children began to study choruses from foreign and Russian operas, learn the basics of music literacy. Educational institutions created their own choirs to perform on special occasions. The professional musicians taught their students at music lessons to play various instruments used in folk and symphony orchestras. At the end of the 19th century within the framework of the educational process there appeared concert practice that in the first decade of the 20th century developed into some cultural and educational movement. Getting a good musical training the most talented secondary school graduates successfully entered Russian Conservatories and used to choose a profession of a musician. Thus, professionally oriented musical training in secondary school prepared the ground for the opening in 1920 of the People’s Conservatory – the first professional music school in Krasnoyarsk
