Methodical aspects of teaching piano improvisation in the context of supplementary music education

the article is devoted to the study of methodical aspects of teaching piano improvisation in the conditions of supplementary music education. The introduction substantiates the relevance of the problem in light of modern requirements for training creative professionals who are capable not only of performing classical works at a high level but also of creating new musical ideas. The authors emphasize the necessity of integrating traditional and innovative teaching methods to develop comprehensive musical skills. The methodological section of the work describes the approaches used, based on a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods. The article provides an analysis of pedagogical practices, including the development of individual learning plans, the use of audio and video materials, as well as modern digital technologies for organizing remote and interactive lessons. The empirical basis of the study was formed on the basis of observation of educational processes in various supplementary music education institutions, interviews with teachers, as well as questionnaires for students, which allowed for the identification of the strengths and weaknesses of existing methodological techniques. The section devoted to the results demonstrates that a comprehensive approach to teaching improvisation significantly improves students’ creative abilities. The authors note that the application of new methods leads to accelerated mastery of instrumental technique, the development of creative thinking, and increased student confidence in their ability to perform improvisational compositions. A significant innovation is the introduction of digital technologies that allow for the creation of virtual environments for practical activities, contributing to a deeper immersion in the creative process.
