О СОДЕРЖАНИИ УЧЕБНОЙ ДИСЦИПЛИНЫ

В КЛАССЕ ЭЛЕКТРОННЫХ МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫХ ИНСТРУМЕНТОВ

Обучение игре на электронных музыкальных инструментах приобретает особую актуальность в системе общего музыкального образования в школе цифровой эпохи, такая возможность может быть предоставлена и в системе дополнительного образования учащихся. Сегодня, подготавливая методическое сопровождение для ведения занятий в классе электронных музыкальных инструментов, необходимо соответствовать требованиям современного общества в связи с растущим социальным спросом на более высокий уровень профессионализма, необходимо вести качественный образовательный процесс и разрабатывать новые, в том числе цифровые технологии в области искусства. Дисциплина «Музыкальная информатика», которая постоянно развивается, начиная с середины 70-х годов (IRCAM, Франция), призвана решить ряд образовательных задач в этом направлении.

Ключевые слова: электронные музыкальные инструменты (ЭМИ), музыкально- компьютерные технологии (MCT), музыкальная информатика, музыкальное образование.

The fundamental change in the environment as an information environment has led to the need for changes in the musical and educational process, increasingly using information technology in music. Changes in educational technologies used in the process of teaching music in the contemporary school are positively perceived by pupils, encourage them to be more actively involved in the educational process. In musical practice, a new class of musical instruments, which includes electronic musical instruments, workstations, music computers, has become widespread. The instruments built on the basis of digital technologies have significant expressive resources, which open up broad prospects for their application in musical education.

The study of information technology in music [1] and their application in the system of contemporary music education has become one of the effective components of the learning process, it promotes the expansion of the educational content and improvement of creative activity of music school students, turning the learning process into more high-tech and intensive. At present, a new musical instrument - electronic musical synthesizer - has appeared in musical education: to learn how to play and be able to control this instrument, there is not enough knowledge of classical music theory, harmony and polyphony.

Contemporary musical synthesizer, electronic musical instrument (EMI) [2; 3; 4], is a digital instrument with appropriate software, in fact, a specialized computer for working with music information -

music computer (MC) [5; 6]. The interdependence of hardware and software in the electronic musical synthesizer characterizes the sound hardware-software complex of the instrument. With this in mind, there is a need to develop new abilities of the musician to work quickly and efficiently with musical information on the basis of new tools, analyzing and processing the results, justifying the decisions made in creative activity, based on the available musical information [7; 8].

This should be taken into account while training specialists, since from the earliest education students of music schools have a practical need for knowledge about information, information processes and basic concepts of informatics as elements of real creative activity on the synthesizer [9; 10].

The need for such an approach is clearly dictated by the current state of training students and teachers of music schools. As the results of our ascertaining pedagogical experiment have shown, the use of knowledge in computer science by musicians and the ability to apply them in creative activities, as a rule, are fragmentary, the musicians have little knowledge of the necessary level to fully master the modern musical synthesizer as a sound hardware and software complex.

These results show that there are problems in this area:

- the unaccounted fact of need for intellectual and technological improvement of musical and educational process;

- the lack of special attention to the psychological features of perception of information by students-musicians (creative thinking, artistic perception, emotional memory, attraction to certain types of artistic activity), which affects the difficulties in teaching computer science and low educational motivation of students of music schools;

- the lack of attention to the age peculiarities of training students of music schools, where children get a basic understanding of music on a synthesizer;

- the lack of educational and methodical manuals on Informatics for students and teachers-musicians.

The scientific search for a solution to the problem of teaching computer science to music school students aims to resolve the following contradictions:

- the discrepancy between the level of training of students and teachers of the mu-sic school in the field of computer science training and modern requirements for professional musicians;

- the need for knowledge of computer science, without which the musician be-comes impossible to understand the information processes on the electronic synthesizer and the lack of methods of teaching computer science to music school students.

The problem situation is eliminated by developing a methodology for teaching musical Informatics to music school students using the sound hardware-software complex EMI (musical synthesizer).

Creation of methods of teaching Informatics to music school students and introduction of a new discipline "Musical Informatics" at the electronic departments of children's music schools and art schools, where audio software and hardware complex (EMI) becomes a new means of teaching Informatics to musicians and at the same time acts itself as an object of practical orientation in teaching.

The method developed by us and the educational process being conducted for 10 years allow us to consider an electronic musical synthesizer as an instrument to study Informatics with:

- as an audio hardware-software complex of training in Informatics students of music schools;

- as a means and object of learning Informatics, creating a learning environment that contributes to the formation and development of information competencies of the musician.

The following tasks were solved:

1) we studied the problems and prospects of training in Informatics students of music schools;

2) a method of teaching computer science using sound hardware and software complex-modern electronic musical instruments (EMI) and music computer technologies (MCT) [11; 12; 13; 14] were developed;

3) the principles of selecting the content of training in Informatics students of mu-sic schools were applied;

4) the features of the use of EMI as a learning tool and object of study of Informatics by students of music schools were revealed;

5) there was developed an educational and methodical complex (a program / a training course, a textbook, a creative notebook, an electronic textbook for distance support of education, audio and video materials) for students of music schools;

6) the effectiveness of the use of EMI and MCT teaching computer science to mu-sic school students was experimentally tested.

The following are some of the topics of the training course "Musical Informatics", which is based on the correlation of requirements for knowledge of students of secondary schools from the course "Informatics" and students of music schools, mastering software and hardware EMI.

Classes in "Musical Informatics" include the study of the following issues (the main objectives of the lessons on musical informatics are): to study the basic concepts related to the receipt and use of information, both in school and in everyday life; to obtain skills in working with a computer and some peripherals. In the considered training course, it is supposed to study the basic concepts and acquire the skills included in the existing programs (training course) in Informatics, taking into account the fact that all tasks in Informatics are based on materials related to music. Teaching materials on teaching informatics include: a set of materials for the teacher; a set of computer tasks for the student; a set of tasks in workbooks; a set of tasks for active logical and creative games using musical material.

Conclusion.

1. Teaching musical informatics to musical schools students (and children's schools of art) is a necessary and important part of the professional modern musicians' training. The main objectives of computer science training are the following:

- development creative thinking and artistic potential through the sound world of digital technology;

- formation of skills of elementary information activities related to the processes of obtaining, transforming, accumulating and transmitting music information;

- development of competencies (cognitive, informational, professional), allowing to successfully apply in the creative activity of the sound hardware and software complex on the basis of acquired knowledge, focusing on the independence, activity and responsibility of the students.

2. The method of teaching Informatics to music school students is based on the integrative-contextual approach, taking into account the specialization of the musicians:

- the selection of the content of training is presented as a transformation of educational and cognitive activities into practical ones on the basis of interdisciplinary integration, with the active inclusion of students in the activities to solve creative problems (the assimilation of one discipline is based on the knowledge of another);

- focus on active learning methods (problem, development, research, project), allowing to involve students in educational and cognitive activities;

- contemporary forms of organization of training (creative work, educational games, problem and interactive learning) provide students not only with ready knowledge, but also with the experience of self-finding knowledge through creative activities on the musical synthesizer;
