The article describes the author’s personal perception of his Teacher, one of the best representatives of the Russian musical and pedagogical science, Eduard Borisovich Abdullin, as a person, a musician-teacher, and a scientist. Among the personal and professional qualities of E. B. Abdullin, the author, speaking about the “magic of personality”, notes his passion for his profession, his ability to “infect” others with it, his highest level of morality, his creative degree of “being” in the musical and educational environment, his ability to bring particular problems of the educational process to a fundamentally different level – the level of creativity and scientific analysis. The author considers his meeting with Eduard Borisovich to be his main life lesson and the answer to the question: “What should a musician-teacher be like?” As one of the essential principles of the scientific school by E. B. Abdullin, the author considers the “principle of questioning”. This principle is associated with the questions that everyone asks, first of all, to himself when solving various problems encountered in the educational process. In the School by E. B. Abdullin, multi-level “questions – answers”, “questions – problems”, “questions – reflections” characterize the semantic content of almost all components of the music teaching profession. This paradigm, according to the author, is consistent with the Dialogic way of teaching in antiquity – the guiding questions prepared by the Teacher stimulate the cognitive activity of the student and necessarily lead to the understanding of knowledge due to his personal capabilities. This model maximizes the student’s personality and unique creative and reflexive development. In the section “Evolution of research interests”, the author briefly outlines the problems of his own PhD and doctoral theses, completed under the supervision of E. B. Abdullin, as well as some dissertation materials of his students, who continue the traditions of the scientific School “Methodology of music education pedagogy”.

The scientific school “Methodology of pedagogy of music education” is a significant phenomenon in the pedagogy of music education. It was happened in the depths of the Department of methodology and methods of music education of the Moscow Pedagogical State University, headed by a talented scientist, a great teacher-musician, amazing person who gave his whole life to the education of future music teachers – Eduard B. Abdullin. Today, followers of this scientific school work in many parts of the world, continuing the ideas laid down by its founder. One of the conceptual positions of the School is the unity of philosophy, theory, and practice in the work of a teacher-musician, the attitude to music as a carrier of value, the most important “tool” for personality formation, and the source of student creative potential development. The philosophical level of the musical and pedagogical process is a key component of the worldview training of the future teacher-musician in all forms and at all levels of education at the University: in lecture and seminar-practical work, individual communication between the teacher and the student as a collective subject of the musical and creative process, in project and other extracurricular work. Philosophical understanding of music and music education is possible in three aspects: ontological, epistemological, and axiological. The unity of these facets of understanding the musical and pedagogical reality allows us to approach the study of the phenomenon in question from the position of a holistic, systematic, multi-level approach, which determines the research essence of the concept of Eduard B. Abdullin’s scientific school.

Objectives. To identify possible pedagogical conditions and methodological techniques of effective teaching influence on the increasing of the cognitive activity and independence (CAI) of students while acquiring and deepening their knowledge in topographic anatomy and operative surgery. Scientific analysis of psychological, pedagogical literature and personal experience shows that the problem of improving the forms and methods of educational work aimed at the increasing of the CAI of students in the process of studying the discipline is always before the teachers. While solving it, there are certain difficulties that many teachers associate with a low level of secondary education obtained, the complexity of the material studied, the admission to the university by means of testing, laziness of students, etc. The experience of the methods used and analyzed by the author shows ample opportunities for improving the cognitive activity of students, taking into account their individual interests and abilities to accumulate professional knowledge. Attention is paid to the implementation of a practice-oriented approach in teaching in combination with a systematic, creative, research, individual one, etc. to ensure the proportionate development of students’ theoretical and practical level of knowledge. A certain range of components of the conditions and factors of the educational process, in which there will be a close, bilateral, interested and productive educational activity of a student and a teacher, promoting the achievement of high educational results is shown.

Today there is an urgent strategic task of qualitative essential change of the existing educational model of secondary and higher education in the multi-problematic context of highly politicized, declarative and formalized reforming of the national education system during the decades of Ukraine’s independence, which giving priority to information-technical resources, academic and intellectual competence successes of students, does not focus on the processes of multifunctional, primarily widely involved and fully balanced, psychocultural development of individuals, groups, and teams. This methodologically oriented study argues that the modern trends of innovative development of society, ethnocultural prospects of the Ukrainian nation and systemic psychodidactic requirements meets A.V. Furman’s modular-developmental system, which as a complex socially-scientific project is implemented for more than a quarter of a century in the field of domestic education by a team of scientists, managers, researchers and practitioners. It theoretically, projectly, methodically and practically implements a more effective than the existing one technostructure of organization and logic-semantic content of the educational process due to the balanced implementation of ideas of culture and development, the requirements of mentality, spirituality, development, modularity and most importantly – its qualitatively different psychological-pedagogical, program-methodical, educationally-bookish, psycho-artistic and expert-diagnostic support. In the effective dimension, it is substantiated that this author’s educational system guarantees a Quaternary metasystemic effect, namely: a) causes at the level of the institution an innovative-psychological climate appearance of productive cooperation of all organizers, teachers and participants by a number of its interdependent basic parameters (according to O.Ye. Furman’s theory, it is psychological influence and its classes, educational communication and its aspects as types of exchange, polymotivation and spheres of conditions of its development, positive-harmonious Self-concept and its components); b) determines at the level of group (joint-academic) educational interaction the formation of such a psychocultural polydialogical space, which has an essentially new restructuring of the educational process, by the format of coverage the advanced human experience – socio-cultural-psychological and by structural structure – modular and multi-parametric; c) allows at the level of interpersonal contact between the mentor and successor to reflect still closed to the conscious ability of each of them the semantic components of their real, purely interself, modular-developmental interaction (normatively set for each stage of the educational cycle invariants of psychological-pedagogical content, portions of educational-subject content as fragments of the state educational standard, newly created sets of methodical-means content of a separate discipline, etc.); d) all this ultimately actualizes in the psycho-spiritual sphere of a personal world of a pupil, a student the best sensory and mental, social and volitional, existential and action, reflexive and creative potential of diverse development and self-improvement during his passing the holistic modular-development cycle in its central link – gradual implementation of personal educational activity. It is reflexively concluded that the logic-semantic core of the investigated here educational system is the concept of developmental interaction (A.V. Furman, O.Ye. Furman (Humeniuk), A.N. Hirnyak, etc.), which has the perspective with the efforts of the current scientific school representatives to become a full-fledged original theory. For the time being, this methodological research outlines the attributive features of the new educational model in terms of both scientific-design support and psycho-artistic implementation in everyday life the optimal psychosocial influences of participants in innovative learning on each other, as well as psychodidactic conditions for achieving proper efficiency and quality of parity educational activity in the classroom are highlighted. In addition, it is established as a product of pure thinking of named system’s author – an updated intelligence map of 36 categorical concepts of modular-developmental education, which has at least five-segment heuristics. Naturally, the lion’s share of the proposed scientific text is devoted to the logic-essential definition of ten basic categories of this innovative educational model, which in semantic complementarity reflect its fundamental theoretical framework and complex research optics of interdisciplinary (mostly socio-humanitarian) cognition.

The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes, communication, and opportunities provided by music teachers to encourage consideration of the music teaching profession. Survey participants ( N = 436) were music educators from the Southeast (235), Midwest (51), and Southwest (149) National Association for Music Education regions of the United States. Fifty-two percent of respondents reported encouraging students to explore the music teaching profession, one third reported uncertainty about their encouragement of a music education career, and 21% indicated active discouragement. Personal job satisfaction, student music abilities, and constraints/forces outside the profession were factors for respondents who discourage students from the profession. A majority reported providing opportunities to explore the profession as a viable career option and those experiences reflected the authentic practices of the teaching profession. Professional development opportunities for in-service teachers in the encouragement of students toward music teaching should be strongly considered.

This article explores the specificity of teaching piano class in the university in the conditions of distance learning. The author suggests to consider distance learning as an active method of carrying out cognitive activity, i.e. a method of educating future piano performers, as well as from the perspective of modern organizational innovation. The article gradually covers certain historical prerequisites for the existence of distance learning method in music education in the middle of the XX century, as well as the conditions for its successful implementation. The author describes the formats of distance learning, Internet platforms that allow online and offline interaction of the participants of educational process. Based on the opinions of reputable educators-performers, as well leaning on the own experience of teaching classes remotely, the author determines the practical significance and feasibility of using the distance form of learning as a method of teaching future musicians. The conclusion is made that the all-round modernization, implementation and development of distance learning technology in the sphere of traditional education does not take into account the specificity of music and art universities. Despite all the flaws and imperfections of distance innovation, the author finds positive aspects, which would allow the pedagogues to implement distance learning to a certain extent for achieving certain educational objectives.

This chapter asks an important, yet seemingly illusive, question: In what ways does the internet provide (or not) activist—or, for present purposes “artivist”—opportunities and engagements for musicing, music sharing, and music teaching and learning? According to Asante (2008), an “artivist (artist + activist) uses her artistic talents to fight and struggle against injustice and oppression—by any medium necessary. The artivist merges commitment to freedom and justice with the pen, the lens, the brush, the voice, the body, and the imagination. The artivist knows that to make an observation is to have an obligation” (p. 6). Given this view, can (and should) social media be a means to achieve artivism through online musicing and music sharing, and, therefore, music teaching and learning? Taking a feminist perspective, this chapter interrogates the nature of cyber musical artivism as a potential means to a necessary end: positive transformation. In what ways can social media be a conduit (or hindrance) for cyber musical artivism? What might musicing and music sharing gain (or lose) from engaging with online artivist practices? In addition to a philosophical investigation, this chapter will examine select case studies of online artivist music making and music sharing communities with the above concerns in mind, specifically as they relate to music education.

Students choosing to enter the music teaching profession after having already obtained undergraduate degrees in other music fields may experience unique forms of socialization and teacher identity development. Participants were four students enrolled in a 3-year master’s program with a music teacher licensure component. Through individual and focus group interviews, participants shared their perspectives on program experiences, course elements, and interactions with peers and professors as important influences on their developing music teacher identity. I examined the data for emerging patterns and applied open and axial coding to the most prominent responses, resulting in themes centered on participants’ socialization experiences, desire for independence, need for self-justification, and “outsider” status among peers. To combat lack of peer recognition or support, participants developed strong, collaborative relations with each other. Implications for music teacher educators are considered.
