Summary/Abstract: Ear training covers a wide range of musical phenomena from different historical styles and genres. After a long dominance of classical-romantic material as a basis in ear training, at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, due to the rapid development of the musical language itself, intonation and structural elements of folklore, modern music, and jazz entered the solfege. Today, concepts such as “jazz solfege”, “ethno solfege”, “choral solfege”, etc., are already freely used, which are entirely aimed at certain genre directions in the wide musical palette. This text is an attempt to review and evaluate the presence of stylistic elements in solfege in different practices, in different specialties, and its purpose is to set the question of the expediency of a comprehensive stylistic approach in ear training (primarily in the field of higher education). The article examines various aspects of such a stylistic approach. Possible forms of work, aural acquisition of typical stylistic patterns and formulas to establish a certain intonation and rhythmic base for certain styles are commented on.
