The article is based on the author‘s own experience, taking into account the knowledge and experience of outstanding researchers, teachers and singers. It presents a search for form of organization of education process in the conditions of introduction of preservice general developmental programs in children's art school. The article describes an example of a lesson in the optional subject «Training the Voice» of the education programs «Piano», «Folk Instruments» and «Choir Singing». The author suggests a form of the lesson the aim of which is to develop and consolidate technical and artistic skills in the process of training the voice of a beginning singer in the system of additional music education. This method of dividing the lesson into two parts is experimental; today, it is being tested in a children's art school.
