Music notation software in a choir master training: on the content of the author’s study guide for the pedagogical university
The author of the present work describes his personal experience of using the music notation software and demonstrates a possible structure for the second part of the study guide “Information technologies in music education”. The project version of the second part comprises 4 chapters, which contain data about the modern information technologies in music education, methods of their implementation for solving educational, organizational and creative tasks, classification of notation programs and their comparative characteristics. The suggested study guide will contain details on a pre-service music teacher dealing with the music notation software in the context of the classroom development for the individual conducting disciplines. The working program for the elective subject takes a particular place in the prospective guide. The course students will acquire the competence of implementing the notation software in a choir master environment, perfecting via them the ear for music, conducting, and voice of a future teacher. The study guide will be practically oriented and dedicated to enriching the conventional approaches to the choir master training of a pre-service teacher on the level of a university.
