      Considering the benefits of  Math  in a Music Educational Program              

    Statistics and practice show that the period of  learning by standard music grammar is delayed for several years. At early stage of learning at Children’s Music School, within of  two – three months, up to thirty percent of children lose their interest to music subject and leave the study. This phenomenon is explained by the study overload arising at the first contact of the child to difficult format of adopted note coding and decoding of music information.        We consider , at initial stage to play piano, a child ought to know the Digit Grammar. Applying the Digital Key the child rationally distributes the total study load on leading functional systems his organism , creates highly - accurate coordination without inclusion in practical activity of  unnecessary muscle groups, unnecessary movements , excessive effort while pressing a key and it means, he excludes the possibility of appearing of  false acoustic and muscular sensations, and as a result of  it, instantly creates a firm neuron linkage which in our life we call as a skill of coordinated action.   The physiological substantiation on the application of the digital system for coding and decoding of a melody is the following : children begin their contact with digits already in preschool age,when they are taught to count, and this system is learned by children quite firmly,since it is often used in their daily life.But the generally accepted music grammar is new for them and,naturally,requires some additional period of time to be acquired by children.It is for that reason that in the initial period of musical teaching,children inevitably spend a lot of time and efforts to read a melody written down in music signs.Naturally,it slows down rate of  training,causes psychoemotional discomfort,lowers the child’s interest to music.Therefore, in the initial stage of teaching,besides work with  generally accepted music grammar, will be useful to replace it with a digital system for a certain period.This does not  mean that we want to do without standard  music grammar,but at the initial stages of musical education,the system of digital coding and decoding of music sounds is undoubtedly useful,as it speeds up teaching of children.     Kids  of  new generation  should have different methods of training .They capable to perceive information faster, with cross-modal processing  ,activating all senses at once : visual perception, audio analyzers , neuromotor function.     http://educationinjapan.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/considering-the-be...
