THE PRACTICAL COMPONENT OF THE PROFESSIONAL HUMANITARIAN SPECIALIST TRAINING WHILE STUDYING THE HISTORY OF MUSIC ART

Abstract

The research is designed to reveal the specifics of the practical component of the professional training of future specialists in the humanitarian field while studying the history of music art. Emphasis is placed on the first block study – the history of primitive music, one of the little-studied and controversial components of the subjects of art history and culture studies cycles. The article analyzes the main theories of the origin of music and offers options for constructing the practical part of the disciplines, illustrating each scientific explanation with appropriate audio and visual materials. The authors analyze the method of creation and practical application of the student's audio library, which can be used when learning the history of music in the primitive age. The article discusses views on the life role in the environment of primordial noise. The ways of studying the interpretation of sound for a primitive person by the students are determined, in particular, not from the position of «pleasant-unpleasant sound» but from the position of reproducibility of melody and rhythm. The study offers some practical exercises to make the student understand the symmetry of the sound series that primitive man created by copying the sounds of animals, which is a consequence not only of the symmetry of animal sounds but also of the direct geometric symmetry of the natural world. Scientific exploration forms a set of exercises that help the student, at the same time as determining the uniformity of the tempo rhythms of nature, which influenced the formation of primitive music, to understand the presence of variability in the seemingly monolithic mechanical world of the living. The practice of involving audio-visual sources in the educational process is characterized. Attention is focused on the heuristic model of learning, which requires education seekers to constantly search and determine their trajectory of educational, scientific, and professional development. Practical classes are offered that stimulate the student to master modern research methods and digital tools in the field of culture and art, a future profession. It will allow you to consolidate existing and develop new professional and work skills in a constantly changing digital environment, taking into account sustainable development and traditional methods of scientific research.
