APPLICATION OF CONTEMPORARY MUSIC COMPUTER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING KEYBOARD SYNTHESIZER (“SOFT WAY TO MOZART”)

Abstract

The music training course developed and implemented in the practice of teaching keyboard synthesizers is considered as a successful example of the use of interactive modern network educational technology. The urgent need for modern realities of music pedagogy and the introduction of music computer technologies (MCTs) and training music-computer programs that facilitate the formation of the skill of reading from a sheet, forms new approaches to the process of teaching music-theoretical and music-performing disciplines. The analysis of difficulties in teaching musical notation at the initial stage of training at a children’s art school and the search for effective methods of this direction formed a steady interest of the author of the article to get acquainted with the key positions of the teaching system according to the method of X. Heiner. The analysis of features of working with an interactive network educational system on the example of the program “Soft Way to Mozart” allowed the author to formulate the basic principles and approaches to teaching students of pre-school and school age in the process of using a modern electronic musical instrument in the pedagogical practice of a teacher of a secondary school.
