The main approaches to organization of vocal and choral musical activity that are considered by us are the following: humanistic, aesthetic, culture studying, communicative, reflexive, creative, and projectoriented. Implementation of communicative and creative approaches to music teacher training encourage him to implement wide creative types of work and collective art in the process of education, which contributes to development of spiritual needs in performance and other types of musical and performance activity. Theoretical and methodical instruments mentioned above has become the basis of creative activities of the student choir “Gaudeamus” of the Institute of Art of Kyiv Borys Grinchenko University (conductor — Svitlana Ryabinko, accompanist — Oksana Bichkova).
