MUSIC AND MOVEMENT: FROM PIANO TEACHING EXPERIENCE

DAMILYA NADYROVA

Abstract:

The central problem of music performance teaching is how to develop a student 's ability to feel emotional contents of music and to pass these musical emotions during his performance. Essentially, these issues are related to the development of musical talent, in which the musical empathy plays a leading role. Recent studies show a close interrelation of emotions and movements in the music performance art, while in the understanding of music an important role belongs to modeling processes (embodied simulation), the bodily transmission of music . It is clear that this approach is particularly promising for music pedagogy, and first of all for pedagogy of music performance. This view will help the beginning performer to find the most efficient way for a better understanding of musical emotion within the content of the musical piece, and, moreover, will contribute to the development of expressive technical skills. In this article we will study the embodied perspective in piano teaching, as well as the system of teaching methods, based on the motor modeling of musical rhythm.

Keywords: piano teaching, emotions, expressivity, embodied simulation, music performance, musical rhythm.
