Phenomenon of Artistic and Performing Emotiveness of Future Piano Teachers

The article reveals the phenomenology of emotionality of future piano teachers. The relevance of the study of emotionality and emotiveness in the context of professional training of future teachers of musical art is substantiated. The importance of the study of emotiveness as a means of broadcasting the artistic and figurative content of musical works is determined. The purpose of the article is to summarize information about the interdependence of emotions, emotionality and emotiveness of future music teachers. The concept of "emotions", "emotionality", " emotiveness " was studied, the peculiarities of these definitions were determined in relation to the musical performance training of future teachers of musical art and their further professional activities. It is determined that unlike emotionality, which is a psychological phenomenon, emotiveness is a linguistic category. During the performance of musical performance by both the teacher of musical art and students, emotiveness and emotionality are in an inseparable unity, because musical art is impossible without emotional perception and performance, and work on a musical piece requires the use of emotionality. It has been established that emotionality is one of the aspects of emotional intelligence. The model of emotional intelligence is presented. The phenomenon of emotionality is necessary for the verbal interpretation of the artistic and figurative load of a musical work. The artistic performance presentation of a musical piece by a piano teacher lays the foundation for the student's understanding of the emotional and figurative content of the piece. The teacher must organize the students' verbal and non-verbal communication with the musical piece in an appropriate and accessible form. And this form has signs of emotiveness. emotiveness makes it possible to convey the symbolic language of music through the interpretation of artistic representations as a result of artistic perception through the verbal artistic and pedagogical interpretation of a musical work.

Practical Teaching of Music Curriculum in Colleges and Universities Based on Multiple Intelligences Theory

Abstract Traditional piano teaching usually focuses on students’ mastery of music skills and music theory, but neglects the cultivation of students’ musical expression and creativity. In this paper, the multiple intelligence theory is used as the guiding theory, and the multiple hybrid teaching model of the piano course is established by combining the flipped classroom. The Fuzzy-CDF model is introduced to quantify students’ piano music cognitive level, the Apriori algorithm is used to generate piano music knowledge point sequences, and multiple algorithms are used to collaborate on personalized recommendations of piano music knowledge resources for students. For the application effect of the piano music multivariate hybrid teaching model established in this paper, a teaching experiment was conducted to analyze it with H Music Academy as an example. The results show that the combined ability of song arrangement and playing and singing of the experimental class improved by 9.74 and 11.10 points respectively compared with the performance of the control class, and the average value of the difference between the pre-and post-tests of the experimental class’s note recognition ability compared with that of the control class reached 5.8 points. The application of Multiple Intelligences Theory can stimulate the individual’s sensitivity to timbre, pitch, and meter, fully enhance students’ musical expression and creativity, and make piano learning more effective.

Research on Online-Offline Blended Teaching of Piano Course in Higher Vocational Colleges under the Background of Internet

Abstract Online teaching is becoming an important means of education, but for the piano course, how to organically combine online and offline teaching has been the focus of educators. To improve this situation, this paper proposes a neural network model for piano performance evaluation as an auxiliary means of blended teaching. The model uses bidirectional LSTM training data, introduces an attention mechanism to optimize data recognition efficiency, and finally generates performance evaluation through a softmax classification algorithm. After implementing online-offline hybrid piano teaching in combination with this evaluation model, 66.72% of the students believed that the new teaching method could stimulate learning initiatives. The piano performance test scores showed that the post-test times for single-note playing, mixed intervals and chords, and two-handed ensemble playing in the experimental group were reduced by 38 seconds, 45 seconds, and 7 minutes, respectively, and were significantly higher than those in the control group. This indicates that the performance evaluation model has good performance and application effectiveness.

Research on the Integration Teaching Mode of Traditional Music Elements and College Piano under the Background of Information Technology

Abstract With the deep integration of information technology and music education, how to integrate traditional music to innovate college piano teaching mode has become a problem that must be solved for the development of the times. Based on the scaffolding teaching method, this paper integrates traditional music elements with college piano in-depth and realizes the innovation of college piano integration teaching mode by adopting online pre-study before class, offline teaching during class and timely reflection and evaluation after class. In the teaching process, traditional music signals are represented by time-frequency domain features so as to realize the digital pre-processing of traditional music signals, and traditional music fundamental tone contours are transformed by using the fundamental tone feature extraction method. Then, based on the principles of physics, we explored the string vibration equation of the piano-generating principle and constructed a mathematical model for the piano music signal. To verify the effectiveness of this paper’s method in piano teaching in colleges and universities, relevant algorithms and teaching practices are used. The results show that the GNSDR of this paper’s method on vocals is improved by 6.58% compared with Unet, and its SDR is 4.25dB and 5.21dB when separating the two music source signals of Piano and Vocals, which is improved by 0.36dB and 0.14dB compared with SHN-4, respectively. The college piano scaffolding teaching model that integrates traditional music elements has enhanced sight-reading ability by 116.44%. Under the background of information technology, it is necessary to fully combine the relevant technology to extract the characteristics of traditional music elements so as to help teachers better carry out the design of piano music teaching programs and improve the quality of colleges and universities to cultivate piano talents who inherit traditional music.

Teaching Integration of Piano and Traditional Music Elements in Colleges and Universities Based on Network Flow Optimization

Abstract In this paper, from the basis of piano music theory, pitch and twelve equal temperaments are studied, and due to the characteristics of the piano’s construction, there are different timbres and harmonic structures. In order to realize the digitization of music signals for piano teaching, the collected analog signals are converted into digital signals by Fourier transform, the samples are inputted into the neural network model to get the output results, and the loss function based on Markov’s music language model in piano teaching is used to find the partial derivatives of the parameters to realize the maximization of the efficiency of the piano pitch and note recognition. According to the multi-task learning in neural networks and the envelope curve of notes, we construct the automatic music transcription model in piano teaching based on CNN-HMM and use the simulation experiment analysis to empirically analyze the piano teaching based on CNNHMM. The results show that the dual-channel audio results are improved by 2.68% in F1 value, 3.18% in accuracy and 2.61% in recall than the mono audio results. That is, dual-channel audio has richer information than mono audio, which enables the CNN-HNN network to learn richer features and thus improve the pitch and note recognition results. In this paper, the reliability of the teaching quality evaluation results of the CNN-HMM-based quantitative assessment model for facilitating the combination of electronic organ and piano teaching concepts ranges from 78.1% to 85.4%. This study provides guiding value for the development of digital piano teaching, which is of great significance for the innovative reform of piano teaching in colleges and universities.
