In the artistic space of the nowadays, one of the most influential praxis are those that are associated with the visual beginnings. Theatrical and cinematographic art is quite common and actual and have almost the strongest influence on the recipient – the viewer, inasmuch as the other kinds of art are represented in them. An important issue is the problem of the training of actors, which is solved within the framework of higher educational institutions. The development of public inquiries contributes to the need for the integrated development of a person who would like to become an actor. Therefore, it is expedient to analyze the knowledge that are necessary for the actor in the process of his activity. The purpose of the article is to analyze the role and importance of the skill to play the musical instrument in the professional activity of an actor, as well as the researches of the influence of music on physiological brain processes and the possibility of its for practical using for embodiment of the role. In the context of the widespread theatrical and cinema art, the profession of the actor is extremely popular. If before there was a clear differentiation of the creative artworks, the specialization of the actors, then now it is increasingly difficult to divide as the actors according to certain classifications, and also the artistic opus in total as a result of their creative work. The synthetic character of modern performances bears the imprint of a creative work of stage director, that serves as the main measure of really true “reading” of the composition. Among the skills that the actor needs to acquire is the stage speech, the basics of stage movement, dance, acrobatics, rhythmic, dance, vocals and ensemble singing. It’s worth to notice that among the disciplines that are given a rather insignificant attention – the playing the musical instrument. The question arises whether it is expedient to teach of the playing the musical instrument of all the actors, cause not every spectacle or film requires the demonstration of this skill. Note that the skill of the playing the musical instrument contributes not only to the creation of integrated education in the field of acting, but also helps to develop other general skills. Quite a lot of researchers noticed the influence of the playing the musical instrument, namely, shallow motor skills, on the development of brain activity. Learning to the playing a musical instrument stimulates the development of attention, programming functions and control of arbitrary activities. Having considered the question of the influence of playing music on the development of brain functions, we will analyze the problem of direct using of playing skills on a musical instrument in the professional activity of the actor. Usually its practical embodiment occurs when the actor has to play the role of a musician. If we are talking about the role in the movie, then with help of montage, of course it can possible to create the impression that the actor plays himself, and not the understudy-professional musician. Although more often the stage director chooses an actor who is not only able to embody the desired image, but already owns the skills of singing and playing. Especially important are the skills of playing the musical instruments of actors when it comes to screening a musical. Quite often, the actors are chosen because they already have the skills of playing the musical instruments or singing. However, sometimes there are cases when actors are by nature extremely gifted and do not require for a long trainings or teaching. However, sometimes directors pick up not actors, but invite prominent musicians to embody the image of phenomenal virtuosos. In case of theatrical performances, there is no possibility to use of the understudy, so actors have to master of the playing the instrument and singing themselves. In the process of educating of an actor within the framework of a higher educational institution a significant role is assigned to the formation of diverse skills. The current state of development of artistic practice requires a high level of acting skills and the ability to be a universal performer capable of embodying any image without choosing the only one kind of image. An important component that will contribute to the development of actor’s creative abilities is the ability to play a musical instrument. Inclusion of it as a discipline of compulsory cycle within the framework of educational programs of higher educational establishments would facilitate the expansion of opportunities for practical self-realization of the actor.
