This study aims to reveal the individual trajectory of their performance style formation. It is viewed as a progressive strategy with unique content that provides a flexible approach to each student. The research methods chosen included analysis, comparison, synthesis, and observation. Based on these, the author developed a methodology for training pianists. It is based on creating a series of psychological, social, and material-technical conditions. The results demonstrate a deeper aesthetic understanding of world piano culture and an openness to various learning models. The results are also characterised by a respect for each student’s philosophical worldview and cultural identity, along with an enhanced acquisition of theoretical knowledge. It was found that effective implementation mechanisms include a varied repertoire, adapted to the student’s artistic interests, and the monitoring
of performance gestures. The prospects for research lie in highlighting new components for improving a unique learning system, the foundation of which is the individual trajectory of pianists’ development of their performing style.
