In the context of a pandemic and the introduction of quarantine measures, the issue of proper organization of the educational process without interfering with the curriculum becomes especially relevant. Distance learning is a way to solve this problem, but for this type of learning to be effective, it is necessary to understand what digital technologies will help to master the educational programme. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to identify which of the modern digital technologies are the most effective for distance learning, and based on the analysis to develop a model of online training for bachelors of arts. The study applied an analysis, which helped to evaluate modern digital technologies in terms of efficiency for use in distance learning, and modelling, which helped to create an optimal learning model in terms of distance learning.

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the need to investigate the interaction of the following aspects: studying the curriculum in a higher educational institution by listening to lecture courses, preparing for the session and passing it, implementing and further developing existing professional skills directly in the work. The purpose of this research paper is to reveal the ways of developing and improving professional skills of bachelors of musical art in the context of dual education, combining educational (theoretical) and labour (practical) activities at the same time. The research materials are data from monitoring the quality of education acquired in conditions of duality, and information on the principles of combining these aspects at the same time. Methods of studying the problem – collecting and systematising sources devoted to it, deducing the categories that make up the core of the analysed issue, and drawing up a unified picture of the development of professional skills of students of musical educational institutions in the conditions of dual education. As for the study results, they contain information about the internal content and nature of such a phenomenon as duality in the acquisition of a profession. The prospects of this phenomenon, its uniqueness, significance, and opportunities provided to future specialists are also outlined. The results of the study can be used by teachers to improve the professional training of music students, and by researchers and students to find ways to improve the interaction between music education institutions and organisations that offer jobs
