At all times musical education played one of the main roles in the life of every person. After all, sometimes children have the opportunity to explore the world only through indifferent, dull technology, without realizing how much unknown exists around them in the spiritual sphere. A person is not only a physical shell, but also what kind of spirit is inside him. It has long been known that the surrounding beauty is difficult to understand and comprehend for those people who in childhood were not shown all the beauty of the world around them and were not helped to reveal all the manifestations of beauty. And it is music that helps reveal all the hidden depths human soul, it is music that fills the soul with a feeling of happiness, no matter what material goods This man achieved it. In addition, what music can give a child in terms of spirituality and general development, it should be noted that directly playing any musical instrument also gives a lot - at least even in physiological development. Playing a musical instrument strengthens the brain, improves memory and develops a child's mental abilities, promotes interaction and coordination between the hands and the brain, and also develops fine motor skills hands Among other things, the child begins to think figuratively, he has his own, non-standard view of everything that surrounds him, he begins to see the world as colorful, bright, joyful and attractive.
It is quite natural that playing music requires a lot of hard work, perseverance and patience. In addition, regular home workouts play an important role. It takes a lot of effort and time. But a huge advantage is that children who, from childhood, are accustomed to daily hard training for a certain amount of time, retain this quality of their character for the rest of their lives. Of course, such children have little time left for the street and entertainment, but at the same time they develop a sense of time, and they know how to count every minute in order to spend it with maximum benefit. This helps him develop a sense of responsibility and organization.
The child’s fate may turn out differently, it is possible that he will not become a famous musician, but he will definitely learn order and accuracy, which will make it much easier for him. adult life.
That’s why the answer to the question whether a child should study music should be unequivocally affirmative. It depends only on the parents what kind of future awaits their child and how prepared he will enter adulthood. If you have already made your choice musical instrument, you can safely sign up for preparatory classes. State music schools begin admitting children to first grade from the age of seven.
Music school is the primary level, the first stage of music education. Today we will talk about how it goes admission to a music school.
Objectives of the music school
The objectives of a music school are to instill a love of music, develop children’s musical abilities, form musical aesthetic tastes, involve children in the process of music-making, and educate competent listeners who understand serious music. To identify the most capable and talented students and prepare them for admission to higher musical educational institutions.
There are many tasks. To achieve these goals, children are admitted to music schools every year.
IN last years There is an influx of students into music schools. This, it seems to me, is facilitated by programs and shows on television, an increased number of competitions different levels. Parents' thinking is changing. There comes an understanding that you need to invest time and, oddly enough, money in your child. Although not big, but training in music school entails certain expenses - tuition, purchase of an instrument, costumes and soundtracks for performances and competitions (if the child has grown professionally to that level).
But these constant homework and daily “piping” on the instrument, which the neighbors don’t like!
However, imagine the joy and pride for your child when he gets his first, even the most modest results. And then you will understand that all expenses - both monetary and temporary - are worth it.
In my class there are children of ordinary parents, with the usual average income that residents of a small town can have. Attitudes towards traveling to competitions vary: for some, this is already their goal in life. And there are students who have made some progress in their studies and who can already be entered into fairly high-level competitions, but they various reasons do not participate in competitions. One of the mothers directly told me that they do not have money for these purposes. But just recently, the city and the school helped financially organize a trip to the competition.
You should have seen this child after the performance! The girl was glowing with happiness! And when I asked if she liked performing, she answered briefly and succinctly: “Very much.” But it was said so heartfelt!
And the girl’s mother, listening carefully to all the speakers, suddenly said: “You know, I suddenly realized: this (competitions) is so infectious! Thank you for convincing me to go to the competition.”
But this is mom. Imagine the tears of joy of the grandparents - their granddaughter achieved a high result - victory at the International Competition!
And now the training has moved to more high level- not an amateur one, as long as the child is busy with something, but a professional level. Because students and their parents see the level of other children and strive for further results and victories.
All of the above - lyrical digression. We have already seen the importance of music lessons and will bring our children to music school. But how can teachers meet a potential student? How to check for music data?
Musical abilities can be developed. However, each child is different First level, different starting point. Musical ability is more than just presence musical ear. This is also the presence of other factors necessary for full learning. How fruitful will the development be? musical abilities, can only be identified through systematic training.
Attracting children to music school
It’s good if the music school organizes preparatory groups that children up to school age. But there are children whose musical abilities appear later, at school age. At this age, it is possible to accept students for button accordion, accordion, wind instruments, folk plucked instruments. With the division of training into six and eight - summer program it became possible to accept school-age children into other specialties. Older children will study in a six-year program and will have time to graduate from school and receive a certificate. For young children, eight years of education are provided. 
IN preparatory groups ah, the emphasis in classes is on choral singing, listening to music, familiarization with musical instruments, rhythm classes and the initial elements of musical literacy.
Preparatory groups can function both in music schools and secondary schools. The purpose of such groups is to attract children to music lessons and select talented children to study at a music school. However, when selecting, attention should be paid to the fact that children are interested and willing to learn to play and sing, and musical abilities can be gradually developed.
In addition to organizing preparatory groups, music school teachers can conduct auditions in secondary schools and kindergartens. You can prepare printed invitations with approximately the following text:
Dear parents! Your child has good musical abilities. We invite you to study at the music school.
Phone for information. Name of the music school teacher. You can indicate the instruments on which learning is possible, so that parents think in advance and make a decision on which instrument to teach their child.
There is the following option for attracting children to a music school. At a parent meeting at school and in kindergarten, the music school teacher makes a message about enrollment in the music school and answers all questions that arise about the content of education, about musical specialties, and about the importance of musical education.
Before conducting entrance exams to a music school, you can take advantage of local funds mass media– television, radio, newspapers with advertisements for admission.
This kind of work to attract children to a music school is suitable for a young teacher who is just starting his class. Where the popularity of the school has already been established and is underway Full time job on propaganda musical art, the soloists and groups of the school are known among the population, children and teachers constantly perform in concerts, parents themselves will bring their children to the music school. And there will be no problems with the contingent at school.
Admission exams
The result of the work to attract children to music school is entrance exams. The purpose of the exams is to identify children’s musical abilities: hearing, rhythm, memory, as well as the level of general development and emotionality. Great importance The performance and interest of children plays a role in the learning process. These qualities are developed during the educational process.
Entrance exams are held in the spring, at the end of May - beginning of June.
Parents of incoming children fill out an application for admission to the school (Click on the picture to download the application form).
Consultations are held before the entrance exams. The purpose of the consultations is to get to know applicants and bring the examination requirements to the attention of parents and children. Consultations are held in a relaxed atmosphere so that children can express themselves. During the consultation, it is recommended to learn the song that the children will sing during the exam. Conduct music games, practice rhythm, listen to works, determine their character and tempo.
The consultation is usually conducted by a solfeggio teacher, and the commission observes the work and behavior of the children. The consultation lasts approximately forty-five minutes. Usually one or two consultations are held, after which the children take an entrance exam, the result of which is admission of students to a music school.
How to check the musical data of applicants, what tasks children complete when admitted to a music school - we’ll talk in.

It makes sense to conduct this consultation at the beginning school year, as part of the specialists’ access to parent meetings in groups.
Target : in an accessible, interesting form, providing information to parents about the benefits and importance of music education.
- give in a correct, positive form general characteristics musical abilities of children in this group;
Tell about the great interest of children in music classes in preschool educational institutions;
Convince parents that children studying in music schools are intellectually and morally different from their peers, have great opportunity communicate with gifted children, can understand and appreciate works of art;
Provide information about the specifics of music schools and music studios in Perm;
Briefly describe the educational disciplines of the music school (solfege, musical instrument, musical literature, choir, orchestra);
Lead scientific facts improving speech in children of preschool and primary school age through practicing musical instruments (this information is very relevant today);
To focus the attention, especially of parents of girls, on the fact that for their children music in the future can become a wonderful, wonderful profession;
Introduce parents to the article “Ten reasons to send your child to a music school” by the vice-rector Russian Academy music named after Gnesins, professor, doctor of art history, doctor psychological sciences D.K. Kirnarskaya (then place this information in the corner for parents).
Also at this meeting it would be appropriate to arrange a small concert for children of the music school (students of grades 1-2).
Dear Parents! If at least one of the child’s relatives has good voice and hearing, then it is quite natural that the child is not deprived of musical abilities. You can verify this by sending your child to a music school. Today it is much more prestigious to teach a child English, rapid reading and writing than to learn music, but music plays an important role in the development of a child’s personality. Perhaps your child will like the choice of instrument that you offer him, or maybe he himself has his eye on a piano or violin. Children often strive to imitate their idols, and if your child’s favorite actor in some movie sits in a black tailcoat at the piano and plays a beautiful melody, then the child may become attracted to this instrument and ask you to teach him to play it.
What will a child get at a music school? First of all, this is musical literacy, aesthetic taste and the concept of beauty. Few children at an early age understand the true meaning of the works of the classics, but they try their best to convey them to listeners in their own way. The child learns to hear the subtlest changes in music, to understand its nuances and mood, and over time he will learn to hear these changes in human speech - to notice the slightest changes in the mother’s intonation or the teacher’s unnoticeable dissatisfaction. With the help of music, a child learns to communicate with people, to capture the mood of the interlocutor, his emotional condition. In addition, the influence of music on a child’s development is undeniable in the development of perseverance, patience, and systematic work.
However, it would be a misconception to think that if you send your child to a music school, he will immediately become diligent. Many children don’t even last a year in music school because they are bored there, they need to learn a lot of terms they don’t understand, understand them, and repeat the same melodies at home day after day. So if your child resists such teachings, do not scold him, because not everyone grows up famous musicians, many musical education gives just another page of variety in life, and nothing more. In any case, dear parents, it’s up to you to decide!
Expected Result
Parents may wish to listen to qualified advice music director and about 50% of them will take their children to study at music schools and studios in the city.

Ten reasons to send your child to a music school
Despite the fact that the child is screaming Cheburashka songs out of tune and has no hearing; despite the fact that there is nowhere to put the piano, and the grandmother cannot take the child “to music”; despite the fact that the child has no time at all - English, Spanish, swimming class, ballet and so on...
There are good reasons to overcome all this and still teach music, and modern parents should know these reasons:
1. Playing is following a tradition. All aristocrats, Russian and European, were taught music. Playing music is gloss, brilliance and chic, the apotheosis of secular manners. Duke
Ellington started playing the piano because girls always gather around the guy who plays. Well, what about the girl playing around? Attention, parents of brides!
2. Musical lessons develop willpower and discipline: you need to practice the instrument constantly, regularly and without interruptions. In winter and summer, on weekdays and holidays. Almost with the same tenacity with which champions train in the gym and on the skating rink. But, unlike sports heroes, when playing the piano, you cannot break your neck, leg, or even arm. Attention, strict parents! Music is character education without the risk of injury: how good it is that this is possible!
3. By studying music, a child develops mathematical abilities. He thinks spatially, hitting the right keys, manipulates abstract sound figures, memorizing the musical text, and knows that a piece of music is like a mathematical proof: neither subtract nor add! It is no coincidence that Albert Einstein played the violin, and Oxford physics professors and mathematics professors make up 70% of the university's music club members. Attention, visionary parents of future mathematicians and engineers! Playing music is more pleasant than solving difficult problems under a tutor’s stick.
4. Music and language are twin brothers. They were born one after another: first the eldest - music; then the younger one is verbal speech, and in our brain they continue to live side by side.
Phrases and sentences, commas and periods, questions and exclamations are found in both music and speech.
Those who play and sing speak and write better, remember foreign words more easily, and learn grammar faster. Music lovers and writers Turgenev and Stendhal, Boris Pasternak and Leo Tolstoy, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Romain Rolland, each of whom knew more than one foreign language, recommend music to all future polyglots. Attention, wise parents of future journalists and translators! In the beginning there was the Word, but even earlier there was Sound.
5. Music is structural and hierarchical: large works break up into smaller parts, which in turn are divided into small themes and fragments, consisting of small phrases and motifs. A spontaneous understanding of musical hierarchy makes it easier to understand a computer, which is also entirely hierarchical and structural. Psychologists have proven that little musicians, students of the famous Shinichi Suzuki, even if they were not very successful in developing musical hearing and memory, were ahead of their peers in terms of
2. level of structural thinking. Attention, pragmatic parents of future IT engineers, system administrators and programmers! Music leads straight to the top of computer science; It is no coincidence that Microsoft prefers employees with a musical education.
6. Musical classes develop communication skills or, as they are called today, communication skills. Over the years of study, a child musician will become acquainted with the gallant and friendly Mozart, the rugged and athletic Prokofiev, the sophisticated and philosophical Bach and other very different musical figures. While playing, he will have to impersonate them and convey to the public their character, manner of feeling, voice and gestures. Now there is one step left to the manager's talent. After all, perhaps the most important thing for him is to understand people and, using his understanding, to manage them. Attention, ambitious parents of future founders of business empires! Music leads from heart to heart, and a top manager's most formidable weapon is the disarming smile of a “nice guy.”
7. Musicians are kind-hearted and courageous at the same time. According to psychologists, male musicians are sensual, like ladies, and female musicians are persistent and strong-willed, like men. Music softens morals, but to succeed in it, you have to be courageous. Attention, visionary parents waiting for help and support in old age! Children who have studied music are sympathetic and patient at the same time, and therefore are more often ready to give their elderly parents that same “glass of water.”
8. Music lessons teach you to “turn on command.” Musicians are less afraid of the dreaded word deadline. At a music school, you cannot reschedule a scale test or a class concert until tomorrow or a week in advance. The artist’s position on stage teaches him maximum readiness “on demand,” and a child with such experience will not fail a serious exam, a job interview, or an important report.
Attention, worried parents! Musical lessons in childhood provide maximum endurance and artistry for life.
9. Musical classes raise little “Caesars” who know how to do many things at once. Music helps to navigate several simultaneous processes: for example, a pianist sight-reading does several things at once - remembers the past, looks into the future and controls the present. The music flows at its own pace, and the sight-reader cannot stop, rest or take a breath. Likewise, an air traffic controller, a computer operator, or a stockbroker monitors several screens and simultaneously listens to and transmits information on several telephones. Music teaches you to think and live in several directions. Attention, overworked and tired parents! It will be easier for a child musician than for you to run along several life paths and come first everywhere.
10. And finally, music is the best path to success in life. Why? See points 1-9.
It is no wonder that many celebrities have a musical background: Agatha Christie wrote her first story about why it is difficult for her to play the piano on stage; Condoleezza Rice, on the other hand, loves nothing more than to play in public in her dazzling concert dress, and Bill Clinton is sure that without the saxophone he would never have become president.
Look at successful people in any field, ask if they were involved in music as a child, even if only for a short time, even if not with much zeal? Of course we did. And we have 10 reasons to follow their inspiring example.__
Music school is special educational institution, which, in its essence, is in many ways not similar to the general education that is familiar to everyone.
They also attend classes, give marks, conduct lessons, exams, tests, but at the same time, learning music is impossible without a creative component, the presence of certain abilities that are either given by nature or not.
The preparatory class of a music school is necessary to solve the main problem, which is most relevant in at this stage: weed out children who simply cannot meet even the minimum criteria. Its main goal is always to identify truly gifted children from the general stream who will be able to successfully study in the future and achieve certain results in this area. In addition, studying at a music school is always inextricably linked with the need to prepare for its general education program.
In any children's music school, every student must study disciplines such as solfeggio and choral singing throughout the entire period of study. Children are preparing for them. They undergo special preparatory courses in which they study musical notation, without which it is impossible to begin mastering a musical instrument, as well as singing in a choir, which develops not only the student’s vocal abilities, but also his sense of rhythm, tempo, and music.
Most often, only children who have not yet turned 7 years old are accepted into preparatory classes at music schools. Older children who are already in school and studying one of the compulsory disciplines there, “music,” in most cases have residual knowledge and skills to quickly navigate a new area. On initial stage learning a musical instrument long time Only the basics are included, the mastery of which requires a minimum that is accessible to everyone.
After graduation preparatory class However, there is no guarantee that the child will enter a music school. Before the start of the school year, upon admission to grade 1, entrance exams are held, where, along with children who studied in the preparatory class, those who did not attend will also undergo a competitive selection.
Each music school has a certain number of places for which students are enrolled in 1st grade. Therefore, based on the results of entrance exams, a strictly defined number of children are recruited. In this case, applicants who were trained in the preparatory class participate in the selection on a general basis. But in most cases, their chances of admission are still slightly greater.
Selection for 1st grade is carried out exclusively if the child has talent and abilities, but the preparatory class of a music school in many cases helps to reveal and identify them in children preschool age.
