Music concepts and Theory
MUSIC – New concepts and theories in the field of curriculum changes are well correlated, that lead to the development of superior performance in learning with students. Diversification of the curriculum by introducing digital information and improvement of modern methods of teaching-learning-evaluation, will give the inevitable character of Romanian education knowledge society in which it exists. Designing the curricula contents, without serious analysis of their accessibility, remain without positive effects. Taking into account the change related to the onset ofi six years, will shift the focus to concrete activities, using very much the game, moving objects and musical instruments, and the use of modern means of education (educational software and PC), with all information and communication concepts involved, but also multimedia techniques.
INTRODUCTION
\"music is a language; like any language, we can communicate through music. What exactly? A huge range of feelings, emotions, ideas, attitudes, many of them not having a precise balancing in notional, verbal world. In this process, the sounds and the rhythms are just tools, means of communication. The substance, the content of the communication are the feelings, emotions, ideas, and attitudes. And they do not make up a disparate, there are side by side anyway, but also creates a certain psychological curve, with predictable moments, but also with surprises. Because the music tells a story, not with words, not with notions, but with emotions depicted through sounds. \"
Based on research undertaken in Psycho-pedagogy, there are three necessary development skills: modal sense, aural representation capacity and sense of musical rhythm. The educator, armed with the knowledge necessary for a musical educator and with those of psychological research in this area, will design the training process on the basis of sound knowledge of the student's skills, its quality strategy, setting the work in accordance with them. Musical skills may be developed through various methods and procedures, relating directly to world teachers ' training. Taking into account the insurance tally the level and volume of knowledge and the ability to assimilate the student, it is necessary to determine student-to be as active, arming it with the necessary means and procedures of individual work. Under the influence of information and Communication Technologies (ICT), new psychological theories of learning and new educational paradigms, the education world is changing, and the teachers are called upon to answer the first of these changes. More than ever, it is time to reconsider the whole curriculum, legitimized the practice education of new computerized invoice.
EDUCATIONAL VIRTUAL ENVIROMENTS, open and distance education, libraries and virtual classes are just a few of the \"shows\" that we are brought together under the generic title reveals computer-aided instruction; Thus I propose the development of concepts of personal computer in the world of musical education. Of course that your PC already exists in educational environments, but I consider that it is necessary a reorganization and resizing of knowledge in this area (of education), and with the objectives of a possible project in which the learning, training and development of musical skills to be mediated by computer will propose the development especially, capability and skills of the students through the playful nature of applications usedto approach the budding personality of the student of theoretical and practical aspects of the music, so they can assimilate the involuntary powers to play a musical instrument, depending on the particularities of the psycho-physical topic educated and important data regarding the origin, history and development of the tools and last but not least, and biographical items about the personalities of the history of musicwith precise reference to the great instrumental performers and composers in Europe or the world, and by default it will take account of the development and strengthening of capacities and operating skills to your PC, all of them reuniting, eventually acquiring interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary skills. Information society (SI) and the knowledge society (SC) are the realities of the world in which we live; The knowledge society is born in an environment where the vast majority of its members have access to the IT&C technologies and frequently use information technologies.
With the help of the computer may be presented: information; applications, exercises, problems; teaching games; the simulation of processes phenomena; evaluation self-assessment questions, computer-assisted training effectiveness depends on: the quality of programmes; didactic-methodical skills and technical knowledge of the teacher; technical skills of the students.
TEACHING used in musical education Issues teaching resources for music education should be looked at from two different points of view: the work of pedagogy, considered to be \"all the materials, devices and equipment used to perform the transmission and assimilation of information, recording and evaluation of the results obtained\" and specific education musical metodicilor. The phrase means the musical education, education should be extended; the current limiting is Usage for this domain to the audio-visual media, which soon relating to teaching materials. Starting from the definition of the term means, more specifically the phrase \"what is being done in order to reach a goal\" , personally I think that is well heeded and the way in which your computer and new ICT techniques, contribute to improving teaching approach.
MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS USED in MUSICAL EDUCATIONAL Multimedia is an attribute, quickly turned into a noun because of its frequency of use. Multimedia (multi-multi-media, media, media) means exactly what it says and the name: the ability of a system to communicate (this) information through multiple mediums for presentation, such as text, graphics, photographs, animation, sound, video clips, etc. It also involves the concept of interactivity to multimedia: the user is not a simple spectator but can change after the willingness and opportunities during the event (application).
At this time there is in the world a number of projects in which you are trying to apply some methods, means and techniques of teaching-learning-evaluation, based on pedagogical principles and ahead, appearing increasingly in question, the concept of integrated discipline (block); these disciplines have the merit of integrating information from different fields of science by facilitating the subsequent study of particular disciplines; These are ideas that have resulted in at least three broad questions, considering the subject matter of the work: the first, \"How do you call that discipline that can integrate the disciplines of education, taking into account pragmatic character and artistic flair of objects through which education is carried out in Romanian school?\", \"who will be the methods and the means by which this discipline (integrated) will achieve the objectives and finalitățile?\" and the third \"Up where and at what level education can penetrate this discipline in the shaping of the personality the student, why not human beings, taking into account all factors of formation of the human personality and the interdependențelor of them? \". The interdisciplinary approach will not invalidate disciplinarity, but aims to increase disciplinary connections, removing the boundaries between different areas. Because the whole process is coordinated by a single teacher, preschool and primary level, organizing the activities combined \"bi\" or \"multidisciplinary\" is more easily achieved, whereas the conditions are relatively the same, the knowledge structure and strategy.
Opening to interdisciplinarity musical activities is evident, the discipline of \"music\/music education\" and education in fields that are circulated notions and aspects of different specialties, summed up in the texts of the songs, games and audiţiilor. Linking knowledge acquired at various objects, can ensure the systematization of information specific to the different fields, the goal is the resumption of a unitary system of knowledge. Selecting the content of education is a matter of great responsibility, because it must operate in such a way as to cover in full volume, structure and nature of the information featured in the curriculum. Scientific values, moral, aesthetic and physical subject to informing and training the children, corresponding to the psycho-physical abilities may be better learned in this interdisciplinary context. Projective-interdisciplinary approach to musical education and the ways of optimizing the teaching approach – musically, involves the insertion of multimedia applications and his educational software. Contemporary musical education is the way to search for and find new means and methods, to improve older instruments, to meet the demands coming from the outside.
Given the pragmatic character of the art of sounds, new methods or teaching must be chosen with great care so as not to \"damage\" the spectrum of musical art and axiology her character. Emerged, a whole range of multimedia applications, educational software and multimedia presentations that discuss the subject of musical education. Many of these applications can help substantially in the didactic process giving him special interactivity, involving more and more students in the educational process of instruction; but there are processes within the hours of teaching music education, which I can't use those applications (example: song from an instrument or vocal chant), but even so a soft \"Piano Professor\" or \"Teach Me Piano\", will make students to understand, for example, piano technique, following them to work individually on the instrument. A whole series of applications debated the subject of writing, transcription, orchestraţiei and musical composition (e.g. \"Cakewalk\", \"the final Studio-Coda Music\", \"Sibelius\", \"Harmony Assistant, Melody Assistant\", \"\", etc.) in this area of computer use is appropriate, mathematical algorithms are sometimes common, (computer-music), many of the programs that appeared on the market at this time based on this link. The implications of the computer in the musical world have made it possible to amplify the spread, or the emergence of new genres and musical styles, including specific music in the early 20th and early forms of electronic music as well as the computer-assisted personal (PC).
EDUCATIONAL websites within the concept of \"educational site\" terms: weblogs, portals, forums chat (synchronous communication) and websites.
An interesting site devoted to musical education I seemed to be http:www.emusictheory.com. The abundance of information, concepts and concepts from the actual musical education and education instrumental music makes this site, perhaps the most complete site, from which I am trying to study. Two years ago I created a website, certainly not at the level as set out above, but I've started to see the impact that it will have it over those in the field, on the one hand, and on the other hand to be able to be browsed whenever needed within hours of music.
I can say that the impact has been a gratifying; After publishing the site to the address http:www.elearning.ro, so in a computer environment, I was urging to continue this project, the musical was widely regarded with reticence, but has not been totally rejected. The Site features in a graphical form and in a specific language a computer lesson, data about some music and auditioned songwriters benchmark testing . Now I'm working on a new project, much broader, they want to definitivez it in 2011, http:www.scoalaplosca.ro/emng/and of course I hope to him and implement successfully in the classroom.
CD/DVD MULTIMEDIA : A multimedia CD is an educational technology that supports the study of subjects, being an ally of the teacher to whom it makes services but it creates an obligation to improve permanently, prompting him to revise the spirit which animates the relationship with those he instructs and educates; at the same time, multimedia CD represents a form of teaching-learning-evaluation, supporting the distributed distance learning. Musical education staff are concerned about the editing of such CDs/DVDs, interactive multimedia and is one of the objectives to which this paper seeks completion, for example, an \"interactive musical Abc\" addressed to primary school pupils, classes with integrated program of music.
The advantages and at the same time the necessity of such interactive applications consist in that, especially in classes I and II, children aren't familiar with writing and reading skills, and tackling skills to sing vocal – instrumental and theory of music, according to the curriculum of the school music program (which must be taught and piano or violin)complicating matters greatly, and with great efforts, both the tutor and the educatului side touching the objectives and powers of the proposed or imposed.
Of course, as we mentioned before, reviewing and adapting the curriculum is absolutely necessary in this area by imposing on the curriculum reform and adaptation objectives and skills to the needs of children, respecting the principle of accessibility pedagogical.
Educational Software through the \"educational software\", we call a computer program designed in relation to a series of co-ordinated pedagogical (behavioral objectives, specific content, characteristics of the target population) and technical (ensuring individualized interaction, feedback and formative assessment sequentially); in a broad sense, by educational software is any program designed to be used in teaching learning.
Educational Software: any software product in any format that can be used on any computer and which represent a topic, a subject, an experiment, a lesson, a lecture, etc., as an alternative or the sole solution compared to traditional educational methods (Blackboard, chalk, flipchart, etc.) the classification, actuality of educational software , after pedagogical function specifies that you can perform within a process:
SOFTWARE PRACTICE (DRILL AND PRACTICE) the software of this type occurs as a supplement to the lesson in class, making the individual practice appropriate data properties, procedures, techniques or the formation of specific skills; It helps the teacher to practice activities, allowing each student to work at the pace and have always given response correctness assessment
SOFTWARE INTERACTIVE EDUCATIONAL Software of this type creates a dialog (like teacher-pupil dialogue) between the student and the program (environment). The interaction can be controlled by the computer (tutorial dialog) or student (dialogue of investigation).
. EDUCATIONAL SIMULATION SOFTWARE These applications are based on a \"model\", which during exposure provides data and impressions about an object, phenomenon, from within a system (typically studied), and using certain parameters assign the model you can trace changes them, all of them in order to reach a better known leaning on our clear and concise objectives. In the field of music (better said, in musical system) these software and are used when it is desirable to present phenomena, or some more complicated processes in music lessons.
EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE for TESTING KNOWLEDGE may represent a wide range, whereas their specificity depends on many factors – prior to testing, the purpose of the test, the type of interaction (immediate feedback or not) – these applications are sometimes independent, sometimes forming an integral part of a complex training environment. The times appraisal and music education activities make use of classical principles of assessment, the most important methods and processes of assessment, for the musical samples are: education, oral and practical tests samples; I think here you should place and evaluation tests at the computer as complementary methods of assessment, but at the same time supplementing the general assessment of the musical spectrum; of course, these tests can be used in certain lessons activities, increased attention on the part of the teacher.
