PROBLEM OF PERCEPTION OF CLASSICAL MUSIC BY STUDENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS AND ITS METHODOLOGICAL SOLUTION

Abstract

Background: Classical music created by the masters of the past, the bearers of high artistic taste, has an ennobling educational impact through the deep intellectual and spiritual content that distinguishes genuine art from the means of entertainment and pleasure. Unfortunately, it is less of an interest to modern youth.
 Purpose of the study: The aim of the study is to find a solution to the problem of classical music perception by students trained in the musical and pedagogical field. The subject of the study is the process of formation and development of students' interest in academic culture.
 Methodology: The following methods have been used during the study: analysis and generalization of theoretical and methodological developments of scientists-teachers, pedagogical observation, and experiment.
 Main Findings: The study has resulted in a hypothesis confirmed by the pedagogical practice: The aesthetic education of young people through classical music is most effective in enhancing the perception of music by students through developing, problem and project-based teaching methods based on the heuristic teaching model. At the same time, the perception of the works of composers of the past is most productive, if the theoretical, practical, psychological, motivational and evaluative components of the students' personality are involved.
 Applications of this study: The results can be applied by teachers, scientists, and practitioners in the real educational process, scientific and methodological work (in research on similar topics, preparation of curricula and course content). The novelty of the study consists in the adaptation of the project method of teaching to the process of teachers-musicians training.
