so we see everything ourselves, to focus, to concentrate attention on the main mission in an era when the old world has condemned itself, and the new one, it is just being born, what is the mission, maybe in this formula, we did not just inherit this land from our ancestors, we borrowed it from our descendants, but the fact that times are difficult, well, that means time has chosen us, that’s all for today, happy.

tv channel belarus 24 broadcasts for you around the clock, don’t switch. our daily task is to talk about belarus in the country beyond abroad. more than 100 million viewers around the world have access to watch the projects of our tv channel, so what is belarus like, business and developing, hospitable, bright and festival-like.

generous, picturesque and monumental, sports and team. we tell you not only about significant events, we introduce you to active, energetic and inspiring people who live in belarus and do everything for its development. belarus can be different, to understand and feel it, you need to see it with your own eyes. hello dear tv viewers, on the air on the belarus tv channel.

watch us every day, because we are making belarus closer. in our gymnasium-college children from all over the republic of belarus study, children often come to us at 5 years old and leave at 18-19 years old, you can’t come to us because of connections, these must be gifted children, talented children, children who are truly god kissed when the voice breaks, how they explain to children that they can’t sing there now, we pay great attention to this, because this is not only physiology, which is changing, this is still a very difficult psychological moment, the choir department is only for boys, what is the reason? this is gender inequality, but i must tell you, we have boys, but we have no less girls, graduates and pupils of the gymnasium are in demand at all times, we train professional personnel, we train those who really truly love their profession, you are a player coach , you are

now combining the duties of leading accompanist, i am glad that today i can convey to my wonderful loved ones as a student, everything that my wonderful teachers taught me. hello, the program “say don’t be silent” is on air, tatyana shcherbina and svetlana smolonskaya are in the studio. and today our guest is the director of the republican gymnasium-college at the belarusian state academy of music, natalya korotina. hello! and this is a unique educational institution of its kind, we discussed this with you, what is its uniqueness? well, first of all, i would like to note that this beautiful building

is nearby, absolutely right, yes, our institution education was opened in 1935, that is , next year we will celebrate our ninetieth anniversary, indeed.

schools, and i try to explain to them in detail what the difficulty of the profession is and what insurmountable obstacles their child may simply encounter and how this can later be reflected much more painfully, well, of course they react differently, well, no one has canceled the entrance exams, there is a certain selection algorithm, there are documents that regulate this, so how do you select, that is, this is how who comes to you comes initially to learn, that is, this? it’s just the desire of parents, children, are you looking for them somewhere, or they come on their own, find you, that is, how does this whole process work? in fact, the question is very important and very difficult, because indeed, if we recruit small children, they come to us at the very first stage, this is our preparatory

group, really 5-6 years old, at this moment , of course, this is most often the choice of parents or grandmothers - grandfathers, yeah, separately i want to note without... parents without grandmothers, it’s really very difficult for grandfathers at the first stage, and like a five-year-old child, he can’t do anything on his own and decide to choose, he doesn’t understand that he’s talented, that he sings well or plays well, yes.

brightly, one might say, ultimately resulted in our wonderful competition bright stars, which we recently completed, children of kindergartens not only of the city of minsk, but of the entire republic participated, and students of the first grades of schools also participated, that is, we saw how absolutely diverse the palette is our talented children, the nominations were like for vocals, the young maestra was also the same as for the soloist, and there was a separate nomination for young honor, that is. the guys told stories, recited poems, which is also important, well , great, yes, that is, they are so small and

immediately take part in competitions, and the conductor can be immediately recognized among them, you know by character, it seems to me, the conductor is definitely a leader, i i’ll explain a little about the specifics of how one comes to this profession, the fact is that in the plans of our gymnasium and college, such a subject as conducting appears at the college level, that is, after ninth grade, if the guys enter the first year, they have this:

then she’s still teaching, you don’t let her go, no, under no circumstances, although there were already her attempts, so to speak, to take a little rest, but we we understand that... this is a person who, firstly, she has been working since the late sixties, that is, to understand how much work experience she already has at our school, plus ryada nikolaevna was the deputy director for special work for quite a long time cycle of gymnasium and college, but then it was a school, a person, who created this system, created the school, created those conditions, fought for

every student, fought for our specificity, because we are truly unique.

it is important to note that in addition to the fact that there is a competitive life, children need to grow and develop, we are often faced with the fact that there is a desire to go to competitions from the same program, yeah, and in order to comprehensively educate a musician, we were created excellent programs that include extensive training amount of material, that is, one program a year cannot cost two; children must go through at least three to four programs a year. plus technical tests, plus some creative events, it’s all this together in the complex that then gives that most important result for all of us, and there was such an absolutely wonderful pianist, musician, teacher evgeniy timakin, at the moscow central music school, and so here he is

believed, and he expressed it, that a pianist’s entire technique is formed before the age of 12, this was his opinion, but there is something in it.

college and received a unique opportunity to receive a master class from our leading teachers, then we should note that a republican competition of velocellists was also held, that is, it is important to note that the velocelle is not an instrument that is often chosen, not an instrument that seems great number of participants in the competition, but nevertheless there is a lot of attention to it and thanks to this competition we also see children whom we can later invite to study at our educational institution, and the bright stars competition was held, which we already talked about to search for talent among the youngest children, well, in college there is a choir department only for boys, this is a continuation of this topic, let's watch a short video.

bolsyn sochi, let's sing together, so that everything around us can sound, to make it brighter, to fill our world with magic, so that it will be more fun to disappear.

which today is called our completely unique choral group of boys and young men, and indeed the goal of this department was precisely the education and continuation boyish traditions, namely singing, yeah, and this is a special art, indeed, today we have our respected colleagues in st. petersburg, this is the glinka choir school, there are also our colleagues at the sveshnikov choir school. there are amazing colleagues who also lead just such purely male choirs, this has its own

peculiarity, it has its own specificity, we preserve those same traditions, we train personnel, and indeed, you yourself understand, the guys come to us at the age of 5 , for for so many years they have the opportunity to grow, develop, communicate with their absolutely amazing leader semyon mikhailovich kalimanov, also a graduate of our...

all people have been jumping on the wing. longevity for us is sacred and our meetings are younger than ours, our faith and strength have been restored.

for the fact that these are all our children, i always wanted to know when the voice breaks, how many children are on stage and what pride they have , how they explain to the children that they can’t sing there now or, well, some restrictions for them, this is again the specificity of the fact that absolutely all children interact with us, every first and second grader knows a graduate, the children interact, they know that such a moment is coming, they communicate with those children who are going through this very difficult period... plus we have an absolutely amazing teaching staff who work and know how to work with mutating boys, we pay great attention to this, because it’s not

only physiology that changes, it’s also the psychological moment is very difficult, because there are moments when the boy sang with an absolutely angelic bright voice and as soon as he enters this period of mutation, for him it is, to put it mildly, stress. and he doesn’t know what will happen next, that’s what’s important. natalya arkadyevna, thank you very much, you have reassured us, and we understand that the child will not have stress, even during the mutation, and for now we will take a short musical break, while you can subscribe to our telegram channel, that’s what it’s called, tell me, don’t shut up, ask questions and suggest us new interesting guests, we are in touch. the “say don’t be silent” program is on air again, and today our guest is the director of the republican gymnasium and college at the belarusian academy

of music. natalya korotina, natalya arkadyevna, before being appointed to the position of director of the gymnasium, you worked directly at the belarusian academy of music in various positions, from concertmaster, department of singing to dean of piano and the composition and music department, the question is: where is it more difficult to work in the belarusian academy of music or at the gymnasium and college at the belarusian academy of music? here i probably agree with the statement that you need to find that job that you love, and you will never work.

their successes would not have been so significant, and then it so happened that my position, if you go, was also a teacher, senior lecturer in the department of concert mastery, but again i continued to be the concert master of the department of singing, that is, it is important to understand that our department of concert mastery is a fusion of those who are truly playing coaches, those who in the past were very famous musicians and those who

can currently get out of hand. to hand over our amazing unique school of concert mastery in belarus, well , then i got the head of the preparatory department and then now the leadership of the faculty, i would like to thank for the trust that they showed me at the belarusian state academy of music, and gave me the opportunity, gave me that chance really get to know each other, find out what a managerial position is, and this really helps me a lot today, well, at the same time, it should...

graduates and students of the gymnasium are in demand at all times, how can you explain this demand? this is what i was talking about, we are preparing professional personnel, we are preparing those who really truly love their profession,

we are preparing those who in the future will form the basis of the very musical art that we have. what is success? the fact that our teaching staff at all times loved children very much, the most important thing is to love our students, no matter how difficult they may be were, always love them, always support them, and i showed you a photo of a wonderful group of pianists that produced a lineup that included nikita belko, i remember very well how in those days when he participated in the factories, how we supported him, how he always shared his impressions, and nikita never missed a meeting without a good reason.

that is, we provide an education that allows children to choose other universities, but at the same time i must say that the smallest percentage - 85% - enter creative people, that is, and even more, yeah, they still choose the profession of their life , namely music, or some kind of creative direction. natalya arkadyevna, we have a small surprise question for you, this is a person about whom we have already spoken, he did not forget you even after graduating from the gymnasium. attention to the screen. good afternoon, dear tv presenters, natalya arkadyevna. i, as a graduate of the republican college of music at the academy of music, but now working more in the field of pop music, would like to ask the following question: is it planned to in the future, to open a pop-jazz department within

the walls of our college, because there are many striking examples - students who received a classical education from us, but subsequently proved themselves to be very cool and high-quality musicians already on the big pop stage. thank you very much, what is your answer to nikita? in fact, the questions are also very serious and important, but i can say the following: correctly, nikita noticed that many graduates who graduated from classical education show themselves absolutely brilliantly in other genres, other directions, so i think that we will still leave our classical education as a basis, but at the same time, the search for how to develop our children.

educational institutions like us, ten-year schools, that’s what i told you at the beginning of our meeting, those same schools that prepare comprehensively absolutely from the very beginning to the end, because we understand the specifics of our institutions, and we do everything , in order to preserve the uniqueness and pass it on, at the same time i would like to note that we are actively cooperating with the saransk music school in mordovia, last year. we sent a bus of our students, a whole bus, on a long journey,

communicated with great pleasure with our colleagues in saransk, and last summer we had a completely unique opportunity to take part in the cultural program of the industrial exhibition at prom in yekaterinburg, that is, even in this is the quality our guys perform, our musicians travel, and the machischa choir, which we talked about, performed in krasnoyarsk, as part of cooperation with...

it’s still not impossible to go on stage, the most

the main thing is to be able to show yourself on stage, for which we actually teach our children to be talented, so that they can go out and show themselves to the public, to immediately feel the public’s response, yes, because you won’t feel it through the screen, on the other hand, i must tell you that during a pandemic we also taught me a lot, and the guys learned how to record, which is important, because there are often very serious music competitions where m... one of the qualifying rounds is to send a video recording of your performance before the pandemic hits, the guys somehow didn’t take it seriously, but together, there was no need, so why strain yourself once again, well, you can say so, although in principle the practice of qualifying rounds has existed for a long time, and i would also like to note that in our college we have our own sound recording studio, that is, guys often come to the competition and record with us, yeah, well, let’s still... let’s see that performance, when that’s all , when there are spectators, when there’s a big

hall, when there’s professional light, we’ll show you a short video, and you’ll give it to us later comment,

well, i listened to the entire fragment of domorushek, you sent it to me before recording. international treaties - the stage was attended by guys from both the ural secondary specialized school - a college at the conservatory that exists there, these are actually our guys, that is , our symbolists were one violinist and two velanchilists, well, i performed the piano part

, but all the other guys are representatives that school, here you go, the result, it seems to me, is a very vivid example of how we can create, create and... really teach children beautiful things about ideology, we have already talked about the place and role of music in it, as for patriotism, so that the years of study for boys and girls are spent not only in music classes, you are probably doing something with patriotic education, some classes may be taking place at your place, our guys still, as you can see, everything comes to music, they participate in the most...

russian composers, but i want to note, as you have already noticed, igor luchinok, our graduate, vladimir dorokhin, our graduate, and elena atrashkevich, who today at the moment, the union of composers of the republic of belarus is headed, also our graduate, and indeed, having the opportunity to communicate , interact, come into contact with

creativity, with those people who create music, this is also an important component, and i would like to note that among our teaching staff there is also such ... a wonderful young composer like vyacheslav pyatko, who also constantly creates new masterpieces, which our guys always perform with great pleasure. and we 'll take a break for a while, after a short pause let's return to this studio again, subscribe to our telegram channel for now, say don't be silent, look for all our episodes on the belarus 1 youtube channel on the bel tv and radio company website. the program is on air again, and today our guest is the director of the republican college gymnasium at the belarusian academy of music, natalya korotina. natalya arkadyevna, in the educational process of a gymnasium, is it possible to use new interactive technologies, or is

it all live, artificial for you, like real artists? intelligence will not pass. you know, i have to say, absolutely. if we are talking about training in a specialty, there is probably no technology yet, most likely not, at the same time i can say that when we study the history of music, when we go through some theoretical disciplines, a computer can really help us in some ways , some special programs, but this is theory; in practice, you need live interaction, communication, namely the transfer from hand to hand of the profession. well, what do you actually think about these new ones? technology, artificial intelligence, when they say that, in fact, why teach musicians if artificial intelligence will also write the same romance much faster than... at the moment, we can already hear compositions of completely different levels, including those already created by artificial intelligence , you still feel the difference

between what artificial intelligence has created and what a person has created; when a composer writes his composition, he treats it like a child, like something that is his living creation, why do they sometimes react so painfully to the performance of compositions, why... they always run to listen to any rehearsals, it is important for them that we, the performers, convey all this to the public, yeah, so i think that after all, the creation of man is superior , but artificial intelligence, it will still be present in our lives, and i think that it will, well, increase, say, the volume of its presence, we will have to somehow fight it, no, no, i think that we will find ways of interaction to coexist together, right? of course, it is important to find the line, just find the line, what we do with the help of artificial intelligence, and what we leave as it is. we

will reveal another facet of your talent, you are the winner of the republican competition woman of the year 2021, so do you know exactly the secret of what a real woman should be? well , first of all, i received such a high award in the category of spirituality and culture; in fact, i am involved in culture. i really can only say huge words of gratitude for the attention that was paid to me and chosen me as a winner, and what kind of woman should be, i think it’s too early for me to talk about this, i think this should be said by people who are already of an older generation, this is the first time, secondly, it seems to me that we need to ask a question from our wonderful men. natalya arkadyevna, well, we noticed that you are a very modest person, but still you are a leader, we talked a lot today about you, about your... students, about the institution that you head, well, answer us in the final part, are there any problems, questions at the gymnasium, here

who are hesitant, well, maybe there are not enough musical instruments or premises there, let’s start with musical instruments, it means that when our college gymnasium was undergoing major renovations, at the same time our instrument park, as we call it, was replenished, so i don’t i can complain. due to the lack of any musical instruments, at the same time, we have opened a class of percussion instruments, and i hope that next year we will replenish it with new instruments, because this is the very class that should contain you probably have absolutely all the instruments, there are a lot of them, believe me, that is, buying all the percussion instruments at once is impossible. natalya arkadyevna, the college gymnasium is adjacent to the church, and we know that every church has an organ, but the question is: is it possible to study in the gymnasium for this instrument? we have such a unique opportunity, here,

indeed, our college-level students can gain that very valuable knowledge and skills, and moreover, they give concerts and perform at various venues of our republic, precisely as organists. most often these are piano students. regarding the tools, in principle i can say that everything is very good with us, as for the premises, of course, we always want more, because i once again said and say that it is important for children to study, and if we have the opportunity control their activities and go somewhere to suggest what he is doing wrong, this is a completely different story, that is , the guys who live in the dormitory, they mainly controlled by our teachers, and of course...

so that’s how many students we have now , more than 400, more than 400, you would like it to be 800, well, why not, we can handle it,

if there are talented guys, we will be only happy to help them, and as for increasing the territory and updating the instrumental park, i can say that our founder of the ministry of culture of the republic of belarus always supports us, always tries to help, and any of our requests, suggestions are very supportive, yours the gymnasium and college will soon be 90 years old, yes, but the building, it’s even older, probably, than the gymnasium itself, you understood, this is the foundation on which our historical building stands, 1699, that is... this is really a unique place that i have seen a lot in my history, the guys also feel it, because when walking along the corridor, they see those same big walls, they touch, we even have a corner, if you walk next to the college gymnasium, there is a corner where the brickwork has been preserved, just so we can show it off for children, again, history, how we can raise children using history, through personal

example, through the example of our educational institution, that is, such a complex.

that for anyone who wants to enroll in our college gymnasium, absolutely free consultations are held every saturday, in absolutely all subjects, disciplines, you can come and get checked, and indeed, if we see that this is the person who should join our ranks, we recommend him for admission, another question is that you need to pass exams, that is, without exams there is no, you player-coach, do you now combine managerial responsibilities? on march 6, together with our colleagues, teachers of the subject commission of the special piano, we performed at the belarusian state philharmonic, that is, we went out and shared part of our creativity with

the public, with the students, which is very important, students should see the players playing.

tatyana shcherbina, svetlana smolonskaya, we say goodbye to you until the next broadcast, goodbye, goodbye, natalya korotina is speaking now. i wish each of you to create, love, be inspired, come to visit us, come to the best cultural institutions and come into contact with wonderful creativity and art. natalya arkadyevna, this is our picture that i painted. by the way, artificial intelligence, all our guests leave their autographs on it, we ask you to write us some wish. creativity inspiration. thank you very much.

we will introduce you to people who have found their calling, in russia there was a master of veterinary sciences evseenko, who... said, medicine treats a person, but veterinary medicine treats humanity, we also train pharmacists, this is our only university that trains specialists in this profile.

we suggest spending one day with specialists to learn all about the intricacies of their work. our uniqueness is that we present more democratic genres, more... watch on the belarus 24 tv channel to pay tribute to the veterinary profession and those specialists who care about the health of animals every day. it’s not for nothing that they say that artists should be like children, naive, so stay here at this childhood age, oddly enough, it gave me the impetus to think about whether i was too old, the honored artist of belarus stanislav trifonov is called baretone number

one. an artist is a person who, i don’t know, well, he can’t be satisfied, then it will be interesting to watch him, because even the desire to constantly constantly win the attention of the public is the desire to do better and better, since no one has done it. that is , in fact, this profession is built on ambition, so to speak, he is beautiful in every way, be it prince igor, tonio, the dutchman, rigoletta ilis camilio, holy colleagues, applause, a full hall, everything is sparkling, and you go into the dressing room, take off your costume, take off your makeup, come out, just like that, like that, like that , literally in two or three seconds this scene is dismantled, it is empty again, the hall is empty, it is already...

live you watch the main news at noon, pavel azovik is with you.
