The research presents the results of a pedagogical experiment aimed at improving the training of future music teachers in the context of digitalization of education and interspecific integration of arts. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to build a professional competence of future music teachers in the context of digital transformation of education and integration of artistic practices. The aim of the study was to identify and experimentally verify pedagogical conditions that ensure the effectiveness of the training of future music teachers. These conditions are a set of organizational, methodological, and technological factors (integration of digital and multimedia technologies, combination of musical and choreographic activities, development of reflection using multimedia, use of blended learning), which contribute to the development of students’ key competencies. Research methods: pedagogical experiment (summative and formative stages), questionnaire, observation, statistical processing of results (Fisher’s φ*-criterion, t-test, Cohen’s d). The results showed a significant increase in the level of professional competence in the experimental group (EG): the share of students with a sufficient level increased from 47.0% to 72.2% (+25.2%), while the increase was only +6.2% in the control group (CG). The largest changes were recorded in communicative (+27.4%), as well as musical and choreographic (+26.8%) competencies. Statistical analysis confirmed the reliability of the differences (p < 0.01; Cohen’s d = 6.03). Integration of digital and multimedia technologies with artistic practices, in particular elements of choreography, is an effective means of training future music teachers. The academic novelty is the integrated approach to the development of six competencies (digital, musical and pedagogical, artistic and creative, musical and choreographic, communicative, and reflective) and their experimental verification. Prospects for further research are related to the development of interdisciplinary courses and the expansion of the sample to other higher education institutions (HEIs).
