Modern piano teaching technologies: Accessibility, effectiveness, the need for pedagogues
Abstract
The article deals with certain approaches and methods using the latest technology to improve the results of piano teaching. The aim of the study is to analyze and compare the most popular and latest technologies of learning to play the piano in terms of their availability, effectiveness and the need for a teacher. In the work, methods of synthesis and analysis, comparisons were used, with the help of which various technologies of learning to play the piano were studied. As a result, two approaches for introducing modern technologies have become apparent in piano teaching: making group lessons more interactive and increase the scope of individual learning along with the gradual withdrawal of the teacher. However, some new technical solutions are far from being ready for use by educational institutions and individuals; therefore, it currently seems relevant to combine modern technology with conventional music teaching practices.
