Abstract

The work reveals the general social and technological prerequisites for integrating computer technologies into Russian education at various levels and profiles of educational institutions. The reasons for the basic contradictions in traditional and innovative pedagogical principles in professional training of performing musicians have been substantiated. Productive ways to solve the problem have been described based on the leading developments of education researchers in the computer and music technologies as well as in electronic music. The essence of the computer and music technologies concept as a specialized field of music pedagogy in Russia has been revealed. Features of hardware and software have been defined based on the digital interface of musical instruments and the prospects for their use in pedagogical activities. The methods, forms, and conditions for practical implementation of experimental training of pianist students from the Institute of Culture and Arts of the Moscow City University have been presented. The generalized results and conclusions of the experimental training in instrument performance of the pedagogical university students using the software and hardware components of the computer and music technologies have been analyzed and discussed.
