INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO TEACHING SOLFEGGIO FOR JAZZ AND POP MUSICIANS

Abstract

The article considers innovative approaches to teaching solfeggio for jazz and pop musicians, which take into account the specifics of genres focused on improvisation, harmonic thinking and rhythmic diversity. Special attention is paid to the integration of modern technologies into the educational process, which allows significantly increasing the effectiveness of classes. Solfeggio is defined as a basic discipline of music education, which is aimed at developing hearing, a sense of metrorhythm, harmony and skills in reading musical text from a sheet. For jazz and pop performers, especially vocalists, knowledge of solfeggio is a key tool for working with intonation, phrasing and style of performance. Various forms and methods of work are considered, including vocal and intonation exercises, solfeggio, writing musical dictations and auditory analysis. The article emphasizes the importance of using modern digital technologies, such as GarageBand, MuseScore, Synthesia, EarMaster, Musicca and others. These programs allow students to create melodies, harmonize musical compositions, perform rhythmic exercises, and train their hearing and memory. In particular, GarageBand promotes the development of creative skills by experimenting with jazz standards, and EarMaster provides opportunities for interactive auditory analysis and exercises to develop a sense of metronomy. Synthesia helps improve piano technique, and MuseScore and other musical score editors simplify the process of creating harmonic accompaniment and writing musical dictations. The development of rhythmic culture, a sense of harmonic movement, and the ability to improvise is considered the basis for the training of professional jazz and pop musicians. The introduction of innovative technologies in teaching solfeggio not only expands traditional teaching methods, but also makes them interactive, interesting, and focused on the modern needs of musicians.
