TECHNIQUES AND METHODS OF PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING IN PIANO PEDAGOGY

Abstract

The article substantiates the idea of applying some techniques and methods of problem-based learning to piano pedagogy. In problem-based learning a set of methods, techniques and actions is aimed at effective assimilation of knowledge and skills by students through their active mental activity. The development of a musical instrument is treated as a continuous process of conscious search and application of professional knowledge and skills, as well as the continuous development of creative thinking. Despite the fact that the elements of problem-based learning are somehow present in all the most authoritative piano schools, a special study of the principles of problem-based learning of pianists at different stages of mastering a musical instrument has not yet been conducted. Nevertheless, the main musical and performing problems need careful analysis and the search for the most rational ways to solve them.
