Learning to play the recorder as a way to develop musicality

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the potential of the recorder as an instrument that promotes the development of musicality in preschool children at the initial stage of education. The influence of the recorder on the cognitive and musical abilities of the child is considered. The article describes a technique that promotes the development of musicality based on complex and multi-artistic approaches. This article examines the impact of learning to play the recorder on the development of musicality among students. The introduction contains an analysis of the importance of music education and delves into the importance of developing musicality as a basic component of musical culture. Current research is presented proving that learning to play musical instruments contributes to the development of hearing, rhythm and melodic perception. Research methods include theoretical analysis of literature on music education, pedagogy and psychology, as well as practical observation of the process of teaching children to play the recorder. The teaching methodology is described, which includes a combination of traditional exercises with innovative approaches aimed at improving auditory and motor skills. The study also used musical development tests based on existing psychological tests and musical and pedagogical techniques. The "Results" section presents data on the improvement of musical abilities in children after completing a course on playing the recorder. The analysis of the results showed a significant increase in the parameters of musicality, such as rhythmic feeling, intonation accuracy and the ability to perceive and reproduce melodic structures. It was found that regular lessons with the recorder contribute to the development of more complex levels of musical perception. The conclusions conclude that learning to play the recorder is an effective means of developing musicality in children. It is pointed out that it is necessary to integrate the teaching methods of playing the recorder into the music education system as an entry level. Directions for further research are proposed, including the study of the long-term impact of this kind of training on the overall musical culture and personal development of participants.
