This article analyzes the main issues that arise in the ensemble performance of
national songs and the proposed methodological approaches to address these challenges. The
ensemble performance of national songs creates opportunities to enhance the importance of
teamwork and improve musical harmony in the music education process. However,
intonation errors, lack of rhythmic harmony, and coordination issues among students are
evident. The article provides effective pedagogical methods and training techniques to
overcome these challenges.
National musical art is an important field that reflects the unique cultural wealth,
traditions, and historical heritage of our people. The musical culture of each nation is an
integral part of its social life, which plays an important role in the formation of the human
psyche, the development of national pride and honor. Musicologist T. Vizgo notes that the
"Ayritom frieze is the first material evidence confirming the existence of ensemble
performance in Central Asia at that time."
National songs express not only musical elements, but also the historical experience,
lifestyle, philosophy, and aesthetic views of the people. These songs, with their diverse
genres and forms, serve as a rich source for musical performance art. Ensemble performance
of national songs, in turn, is of great importance in music education. Ensemble music requires
team performance, musical harmony, and the individual contribution of each performer.
Ensemble performance of national songs allows not only to preserve the traditional features
of music, but also to teach the younger generation to work in a team, to combine musical and
aesthetic feelings. However, a number of difficulties arise in the implementation of this
process, especially in the system of music education. The problems existing in the process of
ensemble performance of national songs in many music educational institutions are related to
the insufficient study of interaction between teachers and students, methodological
approaches, and pedagogical methods. Existing experience shows that such problems as
intonational and rhythmic errors, lack of harmony, low level of individual training of
performers, and incorrect choice of pedagogical approaches are widespread in the
performance of national songs as an ensemble. This, in turn, reduces the quality of ensemble
performance and the effectiveness of music education.

The main goal of the article is to analyze the shortcomings in the ensemble
performance of national songs and, at the same time, to develop practical recommendations
for eliminating these problems. The article also provides detailed information on the main
shortcomings observed in the process of performing national songs as an ensemble, the
importance of pedagogical methods and methodological approaches. This, in turn, contributes
to the development of effective cooperation between students and teachers in the process of
musical education, the improvement of musical performance, and the preservation of the
originality of national music.
Throughout the article, students' errors in ensemble performance of national songs, the
causes leading to these errors, and methodological recommendations for their elimination are
presented. In this case, the teacher's pedagogical approaches, methods of conducting classes,
tutoring activities, and effective methods of ensemble management are analyzed. As an
example, recommendations will be developed based on the errors observed during the
performance of national songs as an ensemble in lessons conducted with students last year.
With the help of these recommendations, it is possible to improve the quality of performance
of national songs and improve the training of students.
The theoretical foundations of ensemble performance of national songs play an
important role in musical education, the preservation and development of national heritage,
and the improvement of musical performance skills. Ensemble performance is not only the
final performance of the music, but also a set of techniques necessary for each performer to
contribute, create collective harmony, and enhance the aesthetic value of the music. The
process of performing national songs in an ensemble, while preserving the traditional
structure of music, also strengthens its meaning for the performer and listener. "In the process
of performing a musical work in an ensemble, it is necessary to distinguish two types of
abilities: 1. Ability to lead to one's own opinion 2. Readiness to follow others' opinions The
first requires strong talent, clarity of thought, the ability to show the emotional aspect of the
work's content, and the presence of pedagogical abilities. The second is the closeness of
personal and educational characteristics, the breadth of musical worldview and imagination,
and especially the presence of qualities of emotional goodwill and the brevity of performance
skills. If musicians possess both of these abilities, the possibilities of fulfilling the artistic task
in several ways will expand.
" We can use the same technique in ensemble singing.
The main features of national music reflect the historical experience, cultural heritage,
and worldview of the people. National songs are considered as a type of art that unites the
people, shapes their pride, and expresses their cultural identity. The musical structures,
rhythmic systems, and melodic features of these songs reflect the national characteristics of
each nation. Ensemble performance of national songs ensures the preservation of traditions
and forms of music, and in the process of such performance, the collective and individual
contributions of music are combined.
Ensemble performance is the joint performance of a musical piece by many musicians.
Musical harmony, timbre, and rhythm are of great importance in the ensemble performance

of national songs. Through ensemble performance, each performer feels like a part of the
group and collaboratively manages the musical structures. In the ensemble, each performer
strives to achieve overall harmony through their appropriate role. This process is important in
music education, especially in the development of teamwork skills.
One of the theoretical foundations of performing national songs in an ensemble is the
harmonization of musical expressive means. This harmony is reflected not only in the
rhythmic and melodic structures of music, but also in the musical relationships between
performers. Theoretical research on ensemble performance shows that when each performer
contributes their part, the music itself achieves perfect harmony. This makes it possible to
preserve the originality and high aesthetic value of music.
When performing national songs as an ensemble, it is important, first of all, to
correctly understand the rhythmic and melodic structures of the musical work and perform
them in accordance with them. Most national songs are based on traditional rhythmic systems,
and each song has its own unique timbre and melodic weight. Therefore, in ensemble
performance, each performer, along with correctly expressing their part, must correctly adapt
to the overall musical structure.
When performing national songs in an ensemble, many practical difficulties arise. For
example, it is necessary to take into account the musical instruments used in traditional
national works and their technical characteristics. Some national songs often have a special
voice and timbre, which can be performed on only one musical instrument, which requires
greater consistency and harmony in ensemble performance. The pedagogical significance of
performing national songs as an ensemble is immense. "Like all forms of musical art,
ensemble performance is a lively process."
This process contributes not only to the development of musical performance skills,
but also to teaching students to work in a team. In the process of working in an ensemble,
students listen to each other's performances and strive to contribute. This, in turn, allows for
the preservation of musical harmony, a sense of rhythm, and improvement of performance
skills. Through pedagogical approaches, students achieve improvement of their performance
skills and improvement of accuracy, harmony, and emotions in the performance of musical
works. Methodological approaches to ensemble performance of national songs depend on the
teacher's role and pedagogical methods. Teamwork by teachers, the roles of individual
performers, and the correct orientation of each student are of great importance. Teachers
should explain different layers of music, familiarize students with the general structure of
music, and ensure the correct implementation of musical expression through individual and
group sessions.
In conclusion, it can be said that the performance of national songs as an ensemble is
one of the important aspects of musical education, and at the same time, it is an effective
method of preserving musical heritage and teaching it to the younger generation. This article
provides a detailed analysis of the main shortcomings and errors arising in the performance of

national songs as an ensemble, as well as the necessary methodological approaches for their
elimination.
Among the observed problems, such shortcomings as intonational errors, lack of
rhythmic harmony, as well as an incorrect approach to musical structure, are most common.
These problems are mainly related to the preparation of students, the incorrect selection of
pedagogical and methodological approaches of the teacher. For example, the lack of
coordination and attention to teamwork among students, approaches that do not take into
account the individual abilities and needs of students reduce the quality of ensemble
performance. However, there are effective methodological recommendations for eliminating
these problems. First of all, it is necessary to conduct individual and group classes to increase
rhythmic and intonational exercises, strengthen communication between students, and
improve the harmony of music. It is also important to improve the pedagogical approaches of
teachers, develop an approach suitable for each student, and take into account the
contribution of each performer in collective performance.
By performing national songs as an ensemble in the process of musical education, it is
possible not only to develop musical art, but also to teach students to work in a team and
encourage them to understand and support each other. This, in turn, contributes to the
formation of musical creativity, harmony, and aesthetic views of young people. By improving
their pedagogical methods and applying modern teaching methods, teachers can successfully
convey the traditions and foundations of national music to the younger generation.
At the same time, the effective functioning of pedagogical methods of ensemble
performance of national songs makes a great contribution to the development of the music
education system, the preservation of national culture, and the musical education of young
people. Teachers and educators, the most important thing in this process is to convey their
experience and knowledge to young performers, to contribute to their personal development.
Thus, the performance of national songs as an ensemble plays an important role in the
development of musical art and ensuring the continuity of national music.
