Comparative study of the effectiveness of traditional and innovative piano teaching methods in the context of adaptation to the individual characteristics of students

Abstract

This study focuses on a comprehensive analysis of the transformation of piano education in the context of the active digitalization of music pedagogy. A systematic analysis of the integration of digital technologies into the traditional model of piano teaching is carried out, taking into account pedagogical, psychological and technological aspects. The empirical database includes data from surveys of 356 teachers and 723 students from 47 educational institutions of musical orientation at various levels. The results demonstrate a significant increase in the effectiveness of the educational process with the introduction of hybrid learning models (the coefficient of academic achievement increased by 27,3%), an increase in the level of motivation of students (the index of engagement increased by 31,5%), as well as the expansion of methodological tools of teachers (the repertoire base increased by 43,8%). The key directions of optimizing the educational process using digital platforms have been identified, including the personalization of learning paths, expanding access to cultural heritage, and transforming methodological approaches. The necessity of developing specialized digital pedagogy in piano education, which meets the modern challenges of professional training of musicians in the era of digital transformation, is substantiated.
