The article is devoted to the study of the essence of the phenomenon “performing will” as an important professional quality of future specialists in the field of art education. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the essence, content and component structure of the performing will generated by future Music teachers, in the context of choirmaster (choral) training in particular.
