The article formulates a hypothesis about the possibility and expediency of mastering Japanese tradi- tional music in Europe, also considering the pentatonic basis of Japanese modes. The article provides examples of the implementation of this idea (including the improvisational creativity of students on the instruments of Carl Orff in the style of Japanese traditional music) based on a generalization of the author’s practical experience.","PeriodicalId":283989,"journal":{"name":"Paedagogia Musica","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128681602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Argento’s songwriting is rich (he composed cycles for every voice except bass) but not well known and rarely performed in Europe. It may be due to the difficulty of some cycles and the fact that not all sheet music is readily available. Part of the study presents the musical compositions of Dominik Argento with a focus on songwriting, the characteristics of textual aspects of songs, and the composer’s approach to the musical treatment of song cycles. The second part of the study deals with using Dominik Argento’s songwriting in teaching voice at faculties of education. This section includes a short musical and interpretative analysis of selected songs and suggests specific compositions for voice study. The topic’s treatment benefits Central European vocal teachers and the professional public.","PeriodicalId":283989,"journal":{"name":"Paedagogia Musica","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121648044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But still, notes are generally important for preserving a musical idea and the knowledge about notes will be important for receiving a good grade in music lessons in secondary school. So on what basics could a future imple- mentation of the teaching of musical notation could be built on? This study examines the pertinence German elementary school students attribute to musical notes. For that purpose, 14 children were interviewed and asked about what they know about notes, where they en- counter notes, how they perceive notes and how important notes are for them. As a result of the study, seven theses are postulated of which one is that the interviewed children do want to learn how to read notes, indeed.","PeriodicalId":283989,"journal":{"name":"Paedagogia Musica","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129680960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article focuses on the most critical post-war events, on integrating progressive systems into general music education (Orff’s Schulwerk) in the 1960s and 1980s, and on poly-esthetic and integrative music pedagogy in the 1990s the last century. Regarding this study, the author applies his personal experience and knowledge gained from many years of working for European music organizations.

The study offers insight into teachers’ efforts to develop creativity directly and indirectly and explores other factors which connect to creativity, such as institutional context, teacher training, and musical and pedagogical skills. Participants (seven music teachers work- ing in state and private schools in York, UK, with children aged 5–6) were recruited through snowball sampling and participated in one-to-one semi-structured interviews. The findings suggest that teachers implemented age-appropriate short improvisational and compositional tasks. However, free access to musical instruments was supported in nurseries rather than in Year 1 of formal school education. Interviewees considered themselves creative, musical, and musically creative teachers, although only some of them confirmed that their teacher training helped them develop children’s musical creativity.","PeriodicalId":283989,"journal":{"name":"Paedagogia Musica","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121019369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After a long development of the concept, it appears to be most elab- orated in the field of music psychology. However, it also has its representation in aesthetics, ethnomusicology, computer science, and, marginally, in education. Although it receives less attention today than in the past, it still has its own meaning, and its development is also occurring in music education. Musical thinking is being developed in all music education activities, perceptual, vocal, instrumental, musical-motor, and music-dramatic. Although the musical mindsets of performers, percipients, and composers differ, it is possible to contribute to their development in music education lessons by introducing new, optional subjects and adjusting the teaching methods and the classroom climate. The quality of musical thinking influences the quality of musical activities, so it needs purposeful attention.","PeriodicalId":283989,"journal":{"name":"Paedagogia Musica","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129219116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
