‘Le musicien intervenant’ is a concept that has been developed in France especially to increase the scope of musical education, particularly in the elementary and pre-elementary schools. The ‘intervenants’ are not substitute teachers but are trained to work with school teachers as part of a team, offering children a high quality introduction to music. Intervenants also help to develop other musical activities in the localities where they work. Nine institutions throughout France (Centres de Formation de Musiciens Intervenant – CFMI) offer diploma courses. The author of this article is Director of the Centre at Lyon. He outlines his philosophy of music education, and describes some important aspects of his work – notably the commissioning of compositions that exploit contemporary musical ideas but are easily accessible for all children.

Children’s world of sounds — musical education of a preschool child Music is around us — every day music is the noise of trees, the rustle of leaves, the sound of a passing tram, the barking of a dog. We learn it while studying in kindergarten and school, but above all at home. This is where the child learns the first melodies. Initially, these are sounds from the immediate environment, starting with the mother’s heartbeat and the melody of her words. Then we expand our knowledge of sounds with children’s counting, acoustic experiments, short song chants, kindergarten songs and music accompanying the game. It’s all a child’s world of sounds, but what’s the key to that? The natural musical development of humans is observed between the ages of 1 and 13, and this is when the most important changes take place in the body, including the maturation of the auditory analyzer and psychomotor performance. Therefore, a variety of musical activities of parents, and then teachers, which are aimed at developing the child’s musical abilities, are very significant at this time. They can be realized by singing together, listening to music of different styles, creating ostinato on instruments and simple instrumentation. Free and directed movement as well as instrumental improvisation are also important. To understand music, you need to be extremely sensitive to its beauty. This is a trait that cannot be taught to children just like that, but it is possible to create any conditions for them to experience music emotionally. This main goal of children’s music education should be realized with the use of five forms of musical activity, which will be discussed in detail in this article.

Qualitative And Quantitative Study

Musical education belongs to significant spheres of personality development and human expression. Music develops human imagination, enhances the emotional experience, evokes the human ability to perceive the organised world of sounds and stimulates the esthetical experience of this world. Many studies have shown that the importance of musical education is more important for primary school pupils than in later years. If before this age, in the families or schools the music education is not given enough attention, the child loses a lot (musical receptiveness, specific visual thinking), and later this kind of abilities for various reasons (disharmony of physical, emotional development, etc.) are more suppressed. Therefore, much of significance must be devoted to the musical education of future primary school teachers. The research data from qualitative and quantitative study analysis have highlighted the peculiarities of musical and pedagogical psychological competencies of primary school teachers.

The report examines the new state educational standards (DSS) as regards the content of music curricula that were imposed by the Pre-school and School Education Act approved by the Ministry of Education and Science which entered into force on 01.08.2016. One of the main reasons for the creation of this law was the need for an adequate and adequate educational environment in which to promote the individual development of each person using attractive forms of training. The adopted DSS provides for the acquisition of different general and specific competences that are expected as a result of the music education at each educational level. After the analysis of the content of the music curriculum at an early stage, it is possible to ascertain their suitability for the new positive ideas and trends in the musical education process. Musical activities that construct the unit of study are tailored to the pupils' age skills to perceive music and their accumulated listening experience. The pre-set variety of textbooks with different author teams required a more detailed review. The new methodology for the presentation of elements of musical expression is in line with state educational standards. Noting literacy and the absorption of elements of musical expression have been set too early in first grade textbooks, but it is most widely used in music education in the third grade. It highlights the great thematic wealth associated with putting the foundations in the literacy and musical script. The key points are the concepts: pen, note key, notes, tonal names, pauses, size, tact, stroke, and so on. The expected key learning outcomes of the pupils' preparation are key competencies. We are pleased to note that the information provided in the curriculum is presented in an attractive way. Various visual aids are available in various variants of music textbooks: interesting, entertaining and accessible to children. The musical education process is based on the conditions for a more effective development of musical abilities as an effective force for emotional communication with music and the realization of musical activities. In this process a special place is given to the role of the teacher, who will guide his students in the right direction and unobtrusively enable them to be the creators of modern times.

Adapting to the European framework in education, without thinking about the approaches of UNESCO, assumed that there was no type of exclusion, neither by subjects nor by profiles, however, we find a clear void regarding the competencies that a professional of music must acquire, in their training and for their employability. Not only in the strictest areas such as the Conservatories, but also in elementary schools and at the University. Our work required the help of professionals from music schools, because current laws do not refer to work in the area of competences, except in some decrees where professional competences are mentioned, or in other cases, where reference is simply made to integrate the basic skills of primary schools. The results were a proposal of basic Competences in music, which could include both conservatories and music schools, regardless of the instrumental specialty, which is a first step to establish a criterion that unifies the criteria for this group of teachers.
