The article reveals the issue of forming future voice teachers’ artistic-didactic competence during their professional training at the university. Consequently, an important result of the latter is acquisition by the student of the artistic-didactic competence, which becomes one of the key competences in the process of fulfilling the functions of a voice teacher. The purpose of the article is to highlight methodological and methodical foundations of forming future voice teachers’ artistic-didactic competence, in particular to justify the expediency of using certain principles and general scientific approaches with their concretization in the methodological plane. To achieve the aim of the scientific publication, a complex of theoretical research methods was used – general scientific (analysis, generalization, systematization, extrapolation) and specific scientific, in particular, retrospective and comparative analysis and pedagogical discourse, which helped to generalize scientific opinion on the methodological foundations of research in the field of music pedagogy and to clarify the ways of solving the task of forming future voice teachers’ artistic-didactic competence. The results. In the course of a comparative and comparative analysis of the intelligence of Ukrainian and Chinese scientists, it was established that the specification of general scientific approaches and principles in the field of vocal teaching methods allows researchers to use a set of didactic principles, in particular of:continuity, individualization of the educational process, integrity, scientificity, systematicity and consistency, visibility, the unity of the technical and artistic component of vocal art, etc. Conclusions. The article establishes that among the methodological foundations there should be singled out, first of all, anthropological, culturological, personal and dialogical approaches. The latter includes opportunities for interaction of the cultural-anthropological approaches as meeting and interpenetration of artistic and human, artistic-aesthetic and creative-volitional beginnings. The concretization of general scientific approaches and didactic principles in the methodical plane creates methodical foundations for the future voice teachers’ artistic-didactic competence formation, in particular: the principle of continuity ensures preservation of performance traditions of academic vocals and methodical experience of their teaching; the principle of integrity allows considering formation of artistic-didactic competence in the unity of theoretical, methodological and artistic-performing aspects; the principle of scientificity directs development of the author’s methods and their practical verification; the principle of consistency and systematicity in combination with the principle of accessibility provides a gradual complication of the content, methods and techniques of forming future voice teachers’ artistic-didactic competence
