Abstract

Music education occupies a special place in the system of cultural and educational heritage of many countries, including Russia. The piano, as one of the most popular musical instruments, has attracted the attention of many generations, researchers, teachers and musicians for centuries. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the influence of musical literacy on the process of learning to play the piano in the Russian context. Consideration of this topic is of particular interest, given the rich musical traditions of the country and the high quality of education, which is recognized at the world level. Russia, with its majestic history of musical art, has given the world many outstanding composers, musicians and teachers, each of whom has made a unique contribution to the development of musical art. In this context, it is particularly interesting to consider how musical literacy affects the formation of musical skills when learning to play the piano. Despite the existence of numerous studies on this topic, many of them often focus on individual aspects of the learning process, neglecting the integrated approach. In turn, this research project sets itself the task of deep immersion in the problem, combining theoretical and practical aspects. During the work on the article, such aspects as: the historical context of the development of music education in Russia, the influence of music literacy on the cognitive development of students, modern teaching methods and technologies, as well as the features of psychological training of students will be considered.
