The
Magnitogorsk State Conservatoire
 The
Magnitogorsk State Conservatoire celebrates its 10th anniversary in
2003. It was founded on the base of the junior musical college on the
initiative of Alexander Yakupov, the first rector of the
Conservatoire, Doctor of Arts, Honoured Worker of Culture of Russian
Federation. The Conservatory is a unique institution of musical
education due to its multilevel, multiprofessional and international
status. Both native and foreign students and teachers feel
comfortable here. There are two faculties at the ?onservatoire:
- Faculty of Music Education and Performing Arts
- Faculty of
Acting and Choreography.
Faculty of Music
Education and Performing Arts prepares specialists of high
qualification for teaching and performing music. They are taught to
play a great variety of instruments: piano, string instruments
(violin, cello, viola, doublebass), wind instruments (trumpet, tuba,
trombone, horn, French horn, clarinet, flute, oboe, bassoon), Russian
folk instruments (accordion, button accordion, harmonica, domra,
balalaika, guitar) and percussive instruments. There are also other
specialties such as "teacher of music theory", "teacher
of music history", "choir conducting", solo and
classical vocal, pop-music instrumental and vocal.
Faculty of
Acting and Choreography prepares drama and movie actors, puppet
theatre actors, ballet - masters, managers of dance collectives and
dance teachers. The teachers and the students have three Concert
Halls in the Conservatoire for their practice, as well as numerous
performance stages in the city and its neighbourhood at their
disposal.
The
Conservatoire is unique in the sense that it consists of five levels
of musical education, starting with the kindergarten "Notka"
(Little Note) and up to the post-graduate department. The lower
levels of the educational process (kindergarten, lyceum, junior
college) give the opportunity to acquire primary musical knowledge
and skills. The base of mastership is being laid here, which then
helps to study at the higher level of education in the College and
Conservatory, i.e. to perfect abilities and improve skills, to extend
knowledge and mastership and artistry. The educational process at the
Conservatoire is conducted by highly qualified educational staff.
Outstanding professionals from different parts of the world teach
here. The staff includes 12 doctors/professors, 23 teachers have a
scientific degree of the candidate of arts (PhD in Arts) and 30
teachers have a scientific title of docents. Teachers have honorable
degrees. 20 creative collectives (orchestras, choirs, ensembles) work
at the Conservatoire. And their number increases every year.
The fifth level
of education in the Conservatoire is the post-graduate department. In
collaboration with the leading specialists in musical arts the
dissertation council was formed at the Conservatory. Since that time
37 specialists have graduated here, among them - 16 are the teachers
from the Magnitogorsk Conservatoire (they belong to the teaching
staff of the Conservatoire).
The leadership
the Conservatoire sees as one of their main tasks to increase the
pedagogical and performing skills of the teaching staff of the
Conservatory and of the school music teachers. To support this vision
local, regional and international conferences, assemblies, seminars,
festivals and contests are held here every year. Outstanding
musicians and specialists of arts from Moscow, St. Petersburg,
Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk etc.-the authors of fundamental works on
musicology conduct lectures and hold seminars and master classes
before the listeners. Annual scientific conferences of students take
place in the Conservatoire - the fact that testifies to a high level
of scientific aspirations of the students. The results of the
research work are issued by the publishing department of the
Conservatoire. With their help, five great monographs, many textbooks
and journals have been p ublished
for the years since the Conservatoire has been established. The
concert activities of the Conservatoire's teachers and students
embrace a wide range of concert halls starting with school
stages, workshops, the Magnitogorsk municipal Opera House,
Ordgenikidze Palace, Drama Theatre, Puppet and Actor Theatre in
Magnitogorsk, the Organ Hall in Chelyabinsk, concert tours nationwide
and abroad (Egypt, the USA), contests in Italy, France, Germany,
Poland etc. Two outstanding musical events crowned the
Conservatoire's activities: the Concert in the Hall of Church
Councils in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior (Moscow, March 2002)
and participation in the Festival of Russian Culture (France,
September 2002). 14 performing teachers are awarded the title
"Honored artist of Russian Federation", 3 teachers have
