Abstract
The article deals with the topical issues of improving the university course "Methods of Teaching Piano Playing" at the present stage. The author of the article, who has been leading this course at the Moscow Conservatory for over 35 years and is the author of the acting course Programme, recommended by the Educational and Methodological Association of Higher Educational Institutions of the Russian Federation for Music Education [12], justifies the special role of the course in the current conditions and offers new original approaches to mastering a diverse set of necessary methodological knowledge realizing optimal activity of students not only in working with pupils, but also in their independent work. The author suggests, on the one hand, to enrich the traditional topics of the course with more capacious content through a wider coverage of diverse, including opposite methodological approaches, to boldly show a varied multiplicity in solving different methodological problems and, thereby, to give the course a more multidimensional, multipolar character. On the other hand, in response to today's requests, the expansion of the problem field of the course and the introduction of new topics, such as "Mimicry and Gestures of a Pianist", "Formation of a Performing Concept", "Methods of Creating a Soloist Cadenza" and others are motivated.
