Abstract
The article examines the extracurricular forms of students’ activities realized at the Urals State M. P. Mussorgsky
Conservatory during the course of over two decades. The “extracurricular forms” are interpreted in this case not only
as the most important means of upbringing, but also as activities directed towards the formation of a complex of the
professional knowledge, abilities and skills of a future specialist. This indispensable constituent in mastering the cycle
of music theory disciplines is present at the courses read at the Music Theory Department for students of all disciplines
and directions of preparation.
Three main groups of extracurricular events are illuminated in a consistent manner, – namely, those approaching
the activities of scholarly profile (symposiums, round tables, debating clubs, work in libraries and archives, etc.);
the so-called “calendar-ritual” variety, marking various stages of student life; a special group connected with the
content and assemblage of an experimental integrated music theory course developed by the faculty members of
the department. When this course is taken, considerable attention is focused particularly to the practical forms of
teaching, which in many ways “shifts the accentuation” of the studies from “theorizing” to a practical mastery
of historical and cultural styles by means of intonation-based immersion into each of them by means of various
forms of music-making, singing, creative work, analysis of musical scores, etc. The described activities, being
extra-curricular in their form, are directed in the recreation of living “contextual” models of existence of music in
a certain historical period the theoretic familiarization of with which is taking place in the courses. Such are the
“Musical Tournament” (improvising on the piano in the vein of dance of the Renaissance era), “Contest of Clavier
Performers” (playing figured notation and demonstration of a chorale prelude composed on a given example),
“Maytime Games” (a peculiar performance carried out by students who master various techniques, means of writing
and perceptions of 20th and early 21st century music).
Keywords: extracurricular activities of the students, professional orientation, musical tournament, improvising,
integrated course of music theory.
