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.

The article considers the pedagogical component of the activity of the composers of the “Mighty bunch” — M. A. Balakirev and N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov, who had a significant influence on the formation and development of Russian music education. Developing the musical and aesthetic ideas put forward by the creative work of the kuchkists, both representatives of the “New Russian music school” justified progressive pedagogical attitudes and principles that are in great demand in the modern practice of music education. Realizing their pedagogical views in the process of leadership and teaching in such Russian musical and educational institutions of the 19th century as the free music school, the Court singing Capella, the St. Petersburg Conservatory, etc., the above-mentioned representatives of the “Mighty bunch” moved to solve the problem they faced from alternative positions: if Balakirev was characterized by an empirical approach to solving creative, including pedagogical tasks, then Rimsky-Korsakov was able to justify the conceptual foundations and basic provisions of Russian music pedagogy. This article is devoted to the consideration of these provisions.

Children and music are the theme of this article conceived as a sort of rehearsal, with the aim of thinking a musical education of childhood. Its theoretical foundations emerge from conversations between music education and childhood studies, and formed the basis for  the lecture workshop held at the II Congress of Childhood Studies, in September 2019, at the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The text addresses methodological openings present in creative approaches to curricula based on network formats and circles. Improvisations and compositions made by children and guided by professor-artists who know their craft, emerge from these experimental dynamics. The participation of children in collaborative action with their teachers gives, in turn, new meanings to the teacher’s role in the form of “double listening”—listening both to children and to their musical expressions. The development of research in children’s music has powerful implications both for musical education and for the field of education. This research also contributes to childhood studies, since listening to children's musical expressions makes it possible to know more about what they think, feel and do when they create their music. It also promises to result in greater visibility and audibility for the songs invented by them, and for the recognition of the importance of music education in schools.

The 60s — 80s of the XIXth century were the period of arousing interest in music pedagogy and awareness of the need to develop theoretical research for organizing musical education and upbringing of children in family and school, representing the first musical collections for children based on Russian folklore. The analytical base of the research (sources) are collections of folk song arrangements, created with a specific pedagogical purpose, both for special educational institutions and for students of mass schools. Its content allows to demonstrate the views of Russian teachers, music educators and composers on the use of Russian folklore in the system of mass musical education for children. The most important achievement of the studied period is the appearance of the first children's song collections with a realized scientific approach to the publication of folklore works for pedagogical purposes, in which authentic melodies are presented without accompaniment written by the composer, and the song texts are supplemented with information about specific geographical recording location and performers. Theoretical and practical experience of musical education gained in the second half of the XIXth century is very valuable for modern music pedagogical science and practice.

The author identifies the constituent structural elements in the training of pianist-accompanist in higher educational institutions of art, which is manifested in various aspects of the activities of future professionals. The field of activity for a musician-performer is concertmaster's work, which by its specificity requires from the specialist not only the possession of traditional performing skills, but also a whole set of personal qualities and the ability to work creatively with musical material. It should be noted that in the concertmaster class due to its specificity is the concentration and systematization of knowledge and skills acquired by students in piano, accordion, accordion, conducting, solo singing and music theory (N. Borisov, D. Gostev, T. Glyadkovskaya, M. Moiseeva, F. Khalilova and others.). This is especially evident in singing to one's own accompaniment and selection by ear, where the narrow professional skills acquired in various specialties are concentrated in one direction - the embodiment of the artistic image of a musical work. Such a variety of tasks requires a comprehensive improvement of the theory and technology of concertmaster activity. Сoncertmaster class is one of the performing disciplines that is important for the general professional training of music teachers. In the concertmaster's class, students' musical and performance activities are studying a wide range of vocal, instrumental, children's music literature, accompanied by a soloist-vocalist or instrumentalist, playing in an ensemble, singing to their own accompaniment, reading from a letter, transposing, listening. The concertmaster class in the structure of professional training of a musician-pianist is an important subject of a special cycle, along with other disciplines, is responsible for the holistic training of a specialist, provides a basis for work in the field of ensemble activities. The tasks of the concertmaster class in music education are to form and improve performance skills and abilities designed for the professional work of a pianist with soloists. Modernity requires the training of competent concertmasters with high performance potential, developed artistic and organizational qualities, possessing the means of artistic processing of musical material, accustomed to work in the stage.

In this chapter, pros and cons of assessing young children’s music skills and content knowledge are explored. An integrative literature review is included as well as a thematic review lending support to core themes. Several reasons were identified as to the importance of promoting student assessment as children participate in early childhood music. Use of music assessments in the classroom and for research should consider practices consistent with musical age as well as chronological age. Increased recognition of the importance of music in total development of the child supports need for effective early childhood assessment systems especially by the music education research community as they continue to gather evidence regarding the utilitarian value of music in early childhood. Researchers need to be aware of environmental factors that may impact early music learning and cognizant of current best practices in music education for early childhood. Researcher-developed criterion measures often are not investigated for quality characteristics, and thus rigorous guidelines for such criterion measures are needed. It appears there are no definitive policy or ethics statements regarding early childhood music assessment but both should be considered vital priorities for the profession. Most likely only those scholars with profound interest in assessment and teachers with deep understanding of the role of assessment in teaching and learning will volunteer to respond. Everything developed in such a national network will be useful, providing we start with clearly defined, intended outcomes and then develop assessments to document student attainment of those musical outcomes.
