Boratynsky and music: perspectives of art management in the general piano class

IMPORTANCE. The study presents experimental experience in art project design as a prospective component of educational work in the general piano class. It synthesizes knowledge from the theory, history, and domestic and international practices of using art management technologies within the system of professional university-level music teacher education. The aim is to substantiate the potential of a repertoire-based approach grounded in regional cultural heritage for integrating art management technologies into the educational process of the general piano class as a means of student socialization and self-realization.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. The main research material is the theoretical and educational-methodical practice of introducing innovative methods into the system of professional education, in this case music-pedagogical. The main method of achieving this goal is design. The result of the educational activity is an art project that introduces various cultural languages into the traditional organization of educational communication, which a student-musician needs to master for successful self-realization and self-promotion in a market economy.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Based on the analysis of modern research in the field of music pedagogy and socio-cultural activities, various definitions of the concept of art management as a useful part of the educational process are interpreted, as well as mental stereotypes that prevent the introduction of innovative technologies into mass music teaching practice. Information and educational activities are positioned as the basis of art design, facilitating the interaction of pedagogical and artistic processes. The individual approach is specified in the methodological means of organizing the general communicative process, in which artistic creativity (art) is interpreted as an “epistemological breakthrough” aimed at the public (consumer). The history of art management and its entry into music education is briefly described, while it is noted that in the field of academic music, unlike pop music, examples of the use of art management technologies are unique. The problem of globalization of the education system is highlighted in various aspects, one of the tools of which is art management, which arose in the competitive conditions of the postmodern era. There is a wide range of threats, challenges and conflicts that the globalization of the education system is fraught with. The emphasis is placed on the threat to the sovereignty of domestic musical and pedagogical technologies. The successful domestic practice of understanding the advantages and disadvantages of art management is positioned as a way to protect pedagogical sovereignty. An experimental version of the use of art management information technology is proposed, which preserves the equal coexistence of innovative experience acquired in the context of the globalization of the university education model and traditional methods inherited from the “old masters”. The introduction of the concept of intangible cultural heritage into the process of global strategic macro-planning is positioned by us as a perspective for an ecologically balanced organization of the educational process. The art project “Boratynsky and Music” is proposed as an experimental example. The art project solves the problems of choosing a repertoire based on the use of cultural heritage resources, in particular musical reflections on Boratynsky’s work, in connection with the 225th anniversary of the poet and the “Year of Boratynsky in Tambov”. The global nature of art management and the local experience of art design are harmonized by referring to the strategic information basis – the topic “The nature of the language of poetry and music: universals and specifics of semantic expression”. The laws of the interaction of words and music are presented in the latest results of neuroesthetics. Students’ personal art projects within the framework of a common theme provide examples of creative artistic reflection on the movement of cultural meanings. The result of expressing the semantic movement of cultures is the specific results of mastering creative tasks in the general piano class of a music pedagogical university. Personal maps (pedagogical routes) focused on a personal theme, which the student implements as an art manager, are proposed as the main tool for organizing innovative student activities. Each such development is a sub-theme of the general art project “Boratynsky and music”. The stages of the implementation of art projects are proposed, at each stage a control section and correction are provided, for which “Personal checklists” are introduced. The personal maps provide a holistic structural analysis of the acquired professional competence, performing and art management. Our list of topics for students' personal art projects is as close as possible to the individual artistic and intellectual preferences and interests of future professional musicians.
CONCLUSION. The results of the experimental development are proposed as a way of introducing innovative practices, as well as a means of motivating and socializing students of a music and pedagogical university.
