Considering the benefits of Math in a Music Educational Program.

Throughout many centuries, the musical structure has had numerous modifications. We can observe the constant use of digits for convenience of notation of the music sounds, for example : digital organ bass, lute tablatures, guitar jazz ciphers. At nowadays the digital system of music teaching is absent in the curriculum and is not applied in practice because of teacher's insufficient professional knowledge in the sphere of child's neurophysiology .
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.
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 functions.
The findings of our scientific investigations have permit us to understand the most delicate mechanisms of child’s mental activity and to detect new creative abilities.Application of the information technology " Reflection " will help schoolmasters to improve the quality, speed and efficiency of music teaching for beginners.
