METHODOLOGICAL TRAINING OF A TEACHER-MUSICIAN TO DEVELOP MUSICAL ABILITIES OF CHINESE STUDENTS IN THE PIANO CLASS CONSIDERING THE ETHNOCULTURAL COMPONENT

Abstract

The article considers the model of methodological training of a teacher-musician to develop musical abilities of Chinese students at the initial stage of learning to play the piano. We are talking about students from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) studying at music faculties in Russian universities. The methodology of teaching in the piano class is traditionally based on the approaches and content developed in the Western or Russian performing school, this is reflected in the educational repertoire and exercises for the initial stage of training. In this regard, the main problem of the study was to develop a culture-appropriate model of methodological training of future teachers-musicians to develop musical abilities of Chinese schoolchildren at the initial stage of learning in the piano class. The article presents the conceptual foundations of the developed training model, the stages of forming professional and personal competencies of a piano teacher in developing musicality and the corresponding abilities of students, organizational and pedagogical conditions for effective methodological training of a future teacher-musician. Methodological training of a piano teacher in a Chinese school should include a comparison of Western and Chinese musical performance traditions. In the developed model of methodical training of a teacher-musician to develop musical abilities of Chinese students, special attention is paid to the ethnocultural component, which involves the inclusion of pieces of the national musical repertoire, exercises and etudes in the educational process for mastering instrumental-performance techniques based on the rhythmic and harmonic structures of Chinese music. It is shown that the use of this model contributes to the formation of flexibility, reflection and the ability to adapt piano teaching methods to the cultural experience of students in future teachers-musicians from the PRC studying in Russia, thereby helping to develop musical abilities in a complex of intonational-associative connections that are organic to them.
