The above program is an optimal way to introduce the children the basics of musical writing in a playful manner and to involve them into the world of music. Children are not overstrained with knowledge, they find them interesting and attracting. When presenting this knowledge, children do not perceive that educational process is in progress. The program was tested in kindergarten “Ziogelis”. Within one academic year the children were introduced the basics of musical writing and the keyboard of the grand piano. The majority of children accepted the present information and absorbed rather a lot of it. Working on the basis of the present program the children are prepared and it is hoped that they will be attracted to learn at schools of music. Difficulties in learning musical writing should not arise anymore when it is presented in an academic way as well as learning to know any keyboard instruments. |
