Didactic basics of learning to play the piano

Abstract

This article raises the problem of the didactic foundations of learning to play the piano. The author attempts to systematize and understand didactic practice, which is both original in its approach and specific in content. The object of scientific study in the framework of this article is teaching piano playing from an anthropological point of view, based on the theory of joint actions in didactics. The scientific novelty of this article is that the research materials are presented by a unique method of teaching piano playing. This publication is intended to stimulate reflection on two issues. The author emphasizes that, first of all, it is necessary to put the theory to the test of practice, the sound (musical), technical (instrumental) and collective (orchestral and ensemble) aspects of which can in some way test its relevance and scale, proving the relevance of the data presented. Then we are talking about taking this practice into account in its specifics and in its cultural "thickness" when describing the behavior of teachers and students as part of their joint actions in a situation that helps to determine their sequence and reasons for existence. After the first theoretical and methodological part, the research focuses on discussing the results of empirical experience. The results of the study can be used in the practical activities of teachers working in music schools in the piano class, when teaching to play an instrument as part of individual classes, and in working with ensembles and orchestras in Russian and Chinese music schools.
