The modern variety vocal-instrumental ensemble has its history from small ensembles, which were created in American cities and villages. These ensembles performed “country” music on rural holidays. At the same time, African-Americans created small musical groups that performed the blues. Similar collectives had a chamber composition, which could include from three to five people, and most performers combined singing and playing musical instruments. This tradition begins to develop in the XX century. Vocal-instrumental ensembles can be viewed in several angles. First of all, it is about what is the quantitative relationship between vocal and instrumental part of the collective. When it comes to an ensemble where there is one vocalist, he can also perform some kind of instrumental batch, or concentrate entirely on the vocal part. In the case of performing both the vocal and instrumental parties, some of them usually fall in the other’s complexity, since it is rather difficult to teach the same at the same time at the same time. However, a lot will depend on the style of the direction in which the team operates. In the case of an ensemble in which there are several vocalists, there is a need for developed hearing, singing skills, skills necessary for expressive, emotional and meaningful performance. During the vocal performance in the ensemble, a number of other requirements are also updated. First of all, this is a problem of balance of volume, as well as the specificity of metro-rhythmic organization, not only between vocalists, but also in their interaction with instrumentalists. The peculiarity of a dynamic ensemble, in fact, of intonation and articulation, is that it cannot be achieved through solo and individual work, but only through long collective exercises, carried out regularly and methodically. In the course of the game, all performers – both vocalists and instrumentalists – have to analyze what function they play in the context of the overall sound of a work, because only then can a balance be struck between the various textures. There is a need to master general knowledge with more technical color, first of all, the ability to work with a variety of hardware and computer equipment. These skills are also necessary in rehearsal work, and, for the most part, in concert or studio work, when there is cooperation between ensemble and sound engineer. Accordingly, both vocalists and instrumentalists need microphone skills, ability to navigate in the possibilities provided by the sound engineer when using the mixer’s console. Particularly noteworthy is the developed skills of singing in the microphone vocalists, because it is in the variety direction, it is impossible to present performance without this type of equipment. It is necessary to know the different styles of jazz and pop music, the features of improvisation in them, and the skills to play the appropriate for each style of texture, to be able to perform solo – both vocalists and instrumentalists.
