Abstract

This article examines the issues surrounding the stylistic diversity of modern piano repertoire and its significance for the professional training of future music e teachers in higher education institutions. It substantiates the need for a harmonious blend of the traditional classical academic heritage (Baroque, Viennese Classical, Romantic, and Ukrainian classical eras) with contemporary musical genres – specifically the academic avant-garde, mass and popular music, functional and screen music and ethno-jazz. The study addresses methodological principles for selecting pedagogical repertoire and outlines the contributions of contemporary foreign and Ukrainian composers to expanding the performance palette of future music educators.
