The article is devoted to one of the pages in the history of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine – the study of church singing in all educational institutions of the spiritual department of the Kyiv diocese in the XIX – early XX centuries. The publications in the church press, as well as the reports of the Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod, concerning this topic, are analyzed. The main methods that were used in schools of different levels for the development of musical literacy by students have been determined. Particular attention is paid to the repertoire of singers – a list of prayers is presented, as well as the basic principles by which students were taught singing. It is noted what problems students, teachers, and schools faced during the practical implementation of the dissemination of musical literacy and the basics of church singing. The historical significance and importance of the study of church singing in the specified period, as well as its practical purpose, are emphasized.
