The question of the special importance of a music teacher in the development of choral culture, which significantly affects the preservation of spiritual values of the younger generation, is considered. The issue of choral ensemble in the process of formation of professional qualities of students of musical specialties of pedagogical educational institutions is covered. One of the professional competencies of a music teacher is the organization and management of vocal and choral activities. It is noted, that for a successful professional activity the teacher-choirmaster needs to understand the importance of the choral ensemble in working with choirs, be able to use different types of ensemble for quality choral sound. A special place in working with the choir is occupied by the feeling of the ensemble, the ability to adjust the choral sonority in accordance with the author’s intention to reveal the artistic image.
The essence of the concept of «choral ensemble» is defined and the main types of it are characterized. It is specified, that the choral ensemble is the artistic unity of all components of choral sound and the merging in strength and timbre of individual voices in one choral part and the balance of sound between all parts of the choir. The importance of using such concepts as partial and general, natural and artificial ensemble in the training of future music teachers is revealed. Partial ensembles include ensembles of intonation, combat, timbre, dynamic, metrorhythmic, agogic, diction-orthoepic and tessitura. It is indicated what factors influence the choice of a particular type of ensemble. A number of regularities of the ensemble, which follow from the texture of the musical work, are highlighted. The use of different types of ensemble in practice is described on the examples of choral works. A detailed analysis of all types of choral ensemble is covered in the unaccompanied choral score by L. Shukailo «Oh, on Kupala» from the cantata «Seasons»
