KAZAKH TRADITIONAL MUSIC IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING PLAYING THE PIANO

Abstract

As we know, piano music for children has a long tradition. Indeed, almost all composers of all time and nations turned to it. The works for children by Scarlatti and Handel, Bach and Haydn, Beethoven and Schumann, Grieg and Debussy, children's albums by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Khachaturian, Sviridov and others constitute an invaluable heritage, revealing magnificent examples of vivid imagery, logic and laconicism, that are still relevant for the perception of new generations.

In our time, students’ learning based on the material of modern music, their artistic development on the patterns created by national authors, is becoming almost of paramount importance. According to the authoritative statement of the famous Hungarian composer, theorist, folklorist, founder of his own method (concept) in education, Z.Koday: “The civic duties of every cultural musician - to become as thoroughly familiar with the musical “native language” as possible.” And it is quite clear that for us, active musicians-teachers, the basis of musical and aesthetic education is a systematic, consistent, comprehensive acquaintance of the students with Kazakh folklore, with the specifics of the Kazakh musical language and the piano creativity of Kazakhstan composers.
