THE SPECIFICS OF TEACHING TO PLAY THE FLUTE IN CHINA

Abstract

The flute is one of the most difficult musical instruments for beginners. The reason for this phenomenon is the combination of the design features of the instrument, the specifics of the setting of the game apparatus, as well as the physical and mental development of younger schoolchildren. The latter circumstance is especially important, because different age groups have different abilities to perceive the information received, and different methods of teaching should be used for different perception abilities. A well-known Chinese proverb says: “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not be in danger in a hundred battles.” Using this principle, it is possible to increase the effectiveness of learning, and students can gain more knowledge and practical skills from learning. In this article, students of the initial stage of learning to play the flute will be selected as the main object of research. In the study, the author focuses on his own long-term pedagogical practice, during which methods and forms of teaching were developed training, which most adequately allow achieving the goals of the initial stage of mastering the game on the flute.
