Abstract
The article, which has a historical and methodological orientation, focuses on issues that are indicative both for the development of orchestral music in China and for the training of students in conducting. This work reveals the typology of expressive possibilities of mono-timbre and poly-timbre folk orchestras, as well as certain provisions concerning the mutual influence of folk instrument orchestras and symphony ensembles. The conductor's curriculum adopted at The Central Conservatory of China is presented and its specific features are reviewed. It is noted that due to the intensive development of symphony orchestras and symphonic genres, as well as compositions for musical theater, the process of training conductors and composers in conservatories and music faculties of universities in China is being improved. The cumulative world pedagogical experience was selected to develop the conductor training programs in Chinese conservatories, taking into account the positions most important for national pedagogical adaptation. The educational program for conducting was created in China considering the practice of the Saint Petersburg and Moscow conservatories.
