Technological and cognitive aspects of modern piano teaching methods: efficiency analysis and Potential development directions in Russia

Abstract

In the modern world, which is undergoing rapid and dynamic changes, the education system is also undergoing significant transformations. Special attention is paid to such disciplines as music education, which faces the challenges of integrating traditional methods and modern technological approaches. Among musical instruments, the piano certainly occupies one of the central places, both in the professional and in the amateur sphere. Recent studies indicate a growing interest in the application of innovative methods of teaching piano playing based on the use of technologies such as augmented and virtual reality, interactive programs and distance learning platforms. Nevertheless, the relevance and need for classical techniques aimed at forming a deep understanding of musical technique and interpretation remains. In Russia, a country with a rich history of musical education and outstanding achievements in the field of piano arts, the question of the balance between traditional and innovative methods becomes especially relevant. At the same time, the Russian education system faces the need to adapt the best world practices to local cultural and pedagogical realities. The purpose of this article is to analyze the technological and cognitive aspects of modern piano teaching methods, determine their effectiveness and identify potential areas of development in the Russian context. To achieve this goal, a number of studies were conducted, including an analysis of available technologies, a study of the effectiveness of their use, as well as a survey of teachers and students. Based on the data obtained, it was possible to penetrate deeper into the understanding of existing problems and opportunities, as well as to develop recommendations for the further development of the piano arts education system in Russia.
