It makes sense to carry out this consultation at the beginning school year, as part of the exit of specialists to parent meetings in groups.
Target : in an accessible, interesting way, providing information to parents about the benefits and importance of music education.
- in a correct, positive way general characteristics musical abilities of children of this group;
To tell about great interest children to music classes in the preschool;
Convince parents that children studying in music schools are intellectually and morally different from their peers, have an excellent opportunity to communicate with gifted children, can understand and appreciate works of art;
Provide information about the specifics of music schools and music studios Perm;
Briefly describe academic disciplines music school (solfeggio, musical instrument, musical literature, choir, orchestra);
Lead scientific facts improving speech in preschool and younger children school age, through lessons on musical instruments (this information is very relevant today);
To focus, especially, 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 music school» vice-rector Russian Academy music to them. Gnessin, 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 the 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 the fact that the child is not deprived of musical data is quite natural. You can verify this by sending your child to a music school. Today it is much more prestigious to teach a child English, fast reading and writing than musical literacy, but music plays far from last role in the development of the child's personality. Perhaps the kid will like the choice of the instrument that you offer him, or maybe he himself has looked after himself a piano or violin. Often, children tend to imitate their idols, and if your child’s favorite actor in some movie is sitting in a black tailcoat at the piano and playing a beautiful melody, then the kid may like this instrument and ask you to teach him how to play it.
What will a child get in a music school? First of all, this musical literacy, aesthetic taste and the concept of beauty. Few children in early age understand the true meaning of the works of the classics, but they do their best to convey them to the listeners in their own way. The child learns to hear the subtlest changes in music, to understand its shades, in 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 displeasure. 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 the development of the child is undeniable in the development of perseverance, patience, and systematic work.
However, it would be a delusion to think that if you send your child to a music school, he will immediately become diligent. Many children do not survive even a year at a music school, because they are bored there, they need to learn a lot of terms they do not understand, understand them, repeat the same melodies at home day after day. So if your kid opposes such teachings - do not scold him, because not everyone grows up to be famous musicians, for many, musical education just gives one more page of diversity in life, and nothing more. In any case, dear parents, it's up to you!
Expected Result
Parents will probably listen to qualified advice music director and about 50% of them will take their children to study in music schools, city studios.

Ten reasons to send your child to a music school
Despite the fact that the child falsely yells songs of Cheburashka, and he 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 section, ballet and so on ...
There are good reasons to overcome all this and still teach music, and these reasons modern parents should know:
1. To play is to follow tradition. Music was taught to all aristocrats, Russian and European. Playing music is gloss, brilliance and chic, the apotheosis of secular manners. Duke
Ellington started playing the piano because there are always girls around the guy who plays. Well, around the playing girl? Attention parents of brides!
2. Music lessons they bring up the will and discipline: you need to practice the instrument constantly, regularly and without interruptions. Winter and summer, weekdays and holidays. Almost with the same tenacity with which champions train in the gym and on the rink. But, unlike the heroes of sports, playing the piano, one cannot break either the neck, or the leg, or even the arm. Attention strict parents! Music is the education of character without the risk of injury: it's good that this is possible!
3. Making music, the child develops mathematical abilities. He thinks spatially, hitting the right keys, manipulates abstract sound figures, memorizing music text, and knows that musical piece as in a mathematical proof: neither subtract nor add! It is no coincidence that Albert Einstein played the violin, and Oxford professors of physics and mathematics make up 70% of the members of the university music club. Attention, far-sighted parents of future mathematicians and engineers! Making music is more pleasant than solving difficult problems from under a tutor's stick.
4. Music and language are twin brothers. They were born next to each other: first, the eldest - music; then the younger verbal speech, and in our brain they continue to live side by side.
Phrases and sentences, commas and periods, questions and exclamations are found both in music and in speech.
Those who play and sing speak and write better, remember it easier foreign words learn grammar faster. Music lovers-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 before that there was the Sound.
5. Music is structural and hierarchical: major works break up into smaller parts, which in turn are divided into small themes and fragments, consisting of small phrases and motifs. The spontaneous understanding of the musical hierarchy facilitates the understanding of the computer, which is also completely hierarchical and structural. Psychologists have proven that little musicians, students of the famous Shinichi Suzuki, even if not too successful in development musical ear and memory, but bypassed their peers in
2. the level of structural thinking. Attention, pragmatic parents of future IT engineers, system administrators and programmers! Music leads straight to the heights of computer science; it is no coincidence that Microsoft prefers employees with a musical background.
6. Music classes develop communication skills or, as they are called today, communication skills. Over the years of study, a child musician will get acquainted with the gallant and friendly Mozart, the ruffy and athletic Prokofiev, the wise and philosophical Bach and other very different musical personalities. When playing, he will have to reincarnate in 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 main thing for him is to understand people and, using his understanding, manage them. Attention, ambitious parents of the future founders of business empires! Music leads from heart to heart, and the most formidable weapon of a top manager is the disarming smile of a “good guy”.
7. Musicians are soft-hearted and courageous at the same time. According to psychologists, male musicians are sensual, like ladies, and female musicians are steadfast and firm in spirit, like men. Music softens morals, but in order to succeed in it, one must be courageous. Attention, far-sighted parents awaiting help and support in old age! Children who have studied music are sympathetic and patient at the same time, and therefore are more likely to give their elderly parents that same “glass of water”.
8. Music lessons teach you to "turn on on command." Musicians are less afraid of the terrible word deadline - the deadline for submitting work. At a music school, you can’t postpone the scale test and the cool concert until tomorrow or a week ahead. The position of an artist on stage teaches one to be as ready as possible "on order", and a child with such experience will not fail a serious exam, an interview when applying for a job, and a responsible report.
Attention anxious parents! Music lessons in childhood are the maximum endurance and artistry for life.
9. Music lessons bring up little "Caesars" who can do many things at once. Music helps to navigate in several simultaneous processes: for example, a pianist who reads from a sheet does several things at once - he remembers the past, looks to the future and controls the present. The music flows at its own pace, and the reader cannot stop, rest and take a breath. Similarly, an air traffic controller, computer operator or stockbroker monitors several screens and simultaneously listens and transmits information on several phones. Music teaches 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 way 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 contrary, loves 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 not engaged in music in childhood, even if only for a short time, even if without much zeal? Of course they did. And we have 10 reasons to follow their inspiring example.__
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 learn the world only through an indifferent deaf technique, while not realizing how much of the unknown exists around in the spiritual sphere. A person is not only a body 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, were not helped to reveal all the manifestations of beauty. And it is music that helps to reveal all the hidden depths human soul, it is music that fills the soul with a feeling of happiness, no matter what wealth this man has achieved. In addition, what can music 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 mental capacity child, promotes interaction and coordination between hands and brain, and develops fine motor skills hands Among other things, the child begins to think figuratively, he has his own, non-standard look and everything that surrounds him, he begins to see the world as colorful, bright, joyful and attractive.
It is quite natural that music lessons require a lot of diligence, perseverance and patience. In addition, households also play an important role. regular workouts. It takes a lot of time and effort. But at the same time, a huge plus is that children who have been accustomed to daily hard training for a certain amount of time since childhood retain this quality of their character for life. Of course, such children have little time for the street and entertainment, but at the same time they develop a sense of time, and they know how to count every minute to spend it with maximum benefit. This contributes to the development of his sense of responsibility and organization.
The fate of the child may turn out differently, it is possible that he will not famous musician, but he will definitely learn order and accuracy, which will greatly facilitate his adult life.
That is why the answer to the question of whether a child should study music should be unambiguously in the affirmative. It depends only on the parents what future awaits his child, and how prepared he will enter adulthood. If you have already made your choice musical instrument you can feel free to sign up for preparatory classes. State music schools begin admission to the first grade of children from the age of seven.
The music school is the initial link, the first stage of musical education. Today we will talk about how admission to a music school.
Tasks of the music school
The tasks of the music school are to instill a love for music, to develop musical ability children, to form musical aesthetic tastes, to involve children in the process of making music, to educate a competent listener who understands serious music. To identify the most capable and talented students and prepare them for admission to higher musical educational institutions.
There are many tasks. In order 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 is facilitated, as it seems to me, by programs and shows on television, an increased number of competitions different levels. The mindset of parents is changing. There comes an understanding that you need to invest time and, oddly enough, money in a child. Although not big, but studying at a music school entails certain expenses - tuition fees, the purchase of an instrument, costumes and phonograms for performances and competitions (if the child has grown professionally to such a level).
But these constant homework and daily “peeping” on the instrument, which the neighbors do not like so much!
However, imagine the joy and pride for your child when he has the first, even the most modest results. And then you will understand that all expenses - both monetary and temporary, are worth it.
In my class, children of ordinary parents are studying, with the usual average income, which only the inhabitants of a small town can have. The attitude to trips to competitions is different: for some, this is already a goal in life. And there are students who have made some progress in learning and who can already be put up for competitions of a fairly high level, but they different reasons do not participate in competitions. One of the mothers told me directly that they had no money for these purposes. But quite 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 profoundly!
And the girl’s mother, listening carefully to all the speakers, suddenly said: “You know, I suddenly realized: this (contests) is so contagious! Thank you for convincing me to go to the competition.”
But this is mom. And imagine the tears of joy of grandparents - at the granddaughter high score- victory at the international competition!
And now the training has moved on to more high level- not amateur, if only the child was busy with something, but 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 we will bring children to a music school. But how do teachers meet a potential student? How to check the presence of music data?
Musical ability can be developed. However, each child is different First level, different starting point. Musical ability is not only the presence of an ear for music. It is also the presence of other factors necessary for a full-fledged training. And how fruitful the development of musical abilities will be can be revealed only in the course of systematic studies.
Attracting children to music school
It is good if preparatory groups are organized at the music school, which children attend preschool age. But there are children whose musical abilities are manifested later, at school age. At this age, it is possible to admit students to bayan, accordion, wind, folk plucked instruments. With the division of training into six and eight - summer program there was an opportunity to accept children of school age and other specialties. Older children will follow a six-year program and have time to graduate from school and receive a certificate. For young children, an eight-year education is provided. 
In the preparatory groups, the emphasis in the classes is on choral singing, listening to music, familiarization with musical instruments, rhythmic lessons and the initial elements of musical literacy.
Preparatory groups can function both in music schools and at general education schools. The purpose of such groups is to attract children to music lessons, to select talented children to study at a music school. However, in the selection, 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, teachers of music schools can conduct auditions in general education schools and kindergartens. You can prepare printed invitations in which you write approximately the following text:
Dear parents! Your child has good musical abilities. We invite you to study at the music school.
Phone for information. Surname of the teacher of the music school. You can specify the instruments on which training is possible, so that parents think in advance and make a decision on which instrument to teach their child.
There is the following option to attract children to a music school. On parent meeting at school and in the kindergarten, the teacher of the music school makes a message about the enrollment in the music school and answers all the questions that have arisen about the content of education, about musical specialties, and about the importance of musical education.
You can take advantage of local funds before the entrance exams to the music school mass media- television, radio, newspapers with the placement of announcements of admission.
Such work to attract children to the musical the school will do for a young teacher who is just gaining his class. Where the popularity of the school has already been established and is being Full time job on propaganda musical art, 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 the school will not have problems with the contingent.
entrance exams
The result of the work to attract children to the music school is the entrance exams. The purpose of the exams is to reveal the musical abilities of children: hearing, rhythm, memory, as well as the level of general development and emotionality. Great importance in the learning process, the working capacity and interest of children play. 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 (To download the application form, click on the picture).
Consultations are held before the entrance exams. The purpose of the consultations is to get to know the 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. At the consultation, it is recommended to learn the song that the children will sing during the exam. Conduct music games, take up rhythm, listen to works, determine their character, tempo.
The consultation is usually carried out by a solfeggio teacher, and the commission observes the work and behavior of the children. The consultation lasts about forty-five minutes. Usually one or two consultations are held, after which the children take an entrance exam, the result of which is the admission of students to a music school.
How to check the musical data of applicants, what tasks are performed by children when they are admitted to a music school - let's talk at.
excellent student of education of the Republic of Belarus
Nikitina Jamilya Faridovna
At the first lesson, I introduce children to Grandma Music, in parallel, talking about their grandmothers. Children are happy to talk about them and remember the main features of Grandma Muzyka: that she can be cheerful and sad, slow and fast, loud and quiet.
Here, a musical demonstration is necessary, and the first discovery for children is that you need to be able to listen to music. After all, we have two ears and one mouth.Listen first, then speak.This is important, it will definitely come in handy in life! From the first lessons they understand that they need to learn to listen and hear. It doesn’t even matter what or whom: whether the grandmother of Music or the rustle of the breeze, or your friend. Mindfulness and the ability to concentrate while listening to music are brought up. Understanding and sharing such concepts as noise and musical sounds, children learn to play music with their voice, using the main musical instrument the unique and most beautiful, their own voice timbre. Based on practice and observations, it turned out that often a high timbre of voice is absent in children due to birth injuries, acquired fears and psychosomatic reactions of the body later. Therefore, the coordination between hearing and voice is aligned through the use of voice exercises. I ask the children to draw some character with their voice and an early, illustrated musical fairy tale, for example, Wolf low voice, Dinosaur with small eyes high voice, with a small head slightly lower voice, with a thick neck medium voice, fat belly low voice and heavy tail transition to wheezing. Drawing with the voice of characters from fairy tales during the game, children lose their fear of taking notes in the upper or lower registers. And, subsequently, the C-major scale is sung cleanly, without being afraid to make the transition from the chest register to the head register. The most notes are re, mi, fa. Basically, all children sing them cleanly, but with the G note, many children are afraid to use the head resonator, since taking high notes is artificial. When they understand how to do it, they lose their fear and sing with pleasure on the top. Just do not allow overload of the ligaments, everything must be done carefully, not loudly.
These magical seven notes: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si are like a rainbow, and each note has its own color: do red, d orange, mi yellow, fa green, sol blue, la blue, si violet. We learn to recognize notes and write them using visualization in the form of a large music staff with colorful notes.
__________________________________________________________________________________
In India, for example, to this day the Shrutti modal system is used, which contains 22 sounds per octave, and in the Middle East, the Arab-Persian modal system, containing 17 sounds per octave. But we do not dedicate little musicians to this yet.
A song from the world masterpiece, the musical "The Sound of Music", by composer Rogers "Notebook ABC" is appropriate here. You can learn it and sing it while looking at the visual aid. The kids love it.
Up sparrow nest
Re trees in the yard
Mi feed the kitten
Fa an owl screams in the forest
Sol plays the kids
La the whole Earth sang
Si we sing in order
To return to Do again.
Even later writing notes in normal music book we decorate them. Children first memorize notes by color, then by location on the stave. And the process of learning musical notation is joyful and imperceptible. By the same system, we study bass clef notes in the second half of the year. E. Koroleva's manual "Music in fairy tales, poems and pictures" is very helpful.
Also, auditory analysis helps to build intonation. From the first lessons, through auditory sensations, we learn to determine the “number of birds on a branch” (the number of notes sounding at the same time). Determine the most sonorous bird upper voice, as well as the wisest, oldest low voice. We also “walk” along the large stave with multi-colored notes from C up and down. You can cut a girl out of cardboard, the children will be happy to decorate her and give her a name. And then it’s not the student’s finger that walks from note to note, but real character Sveta girl. Children more carefully and attentively “walk” it, better feel the direction of movement of notes: up or down the scale. Thus, children develop a sense of soundness.
As for vocal solfegging, children enjoy learning to conduct through the “man-orchestra” game, as well as sing notes. I use the first part of the collection "Solfeggio" by B. Kalmykov, G. Fridkin. I also studied with him. I find it very convenient. In addition, there are many examples of folk music. Although, you can use other benefits, for example, N. Ladukhina.
In parallel with the work on coordinating the ear and voice, a lot of work is being done on the rhythm. educate in little man a true sense of rhythm and time, this, I believe, is the key to his further success in life. And these are not empty words. How often do we see capable and talented people, but often unsuitable for modern realities life. This inability arises from the lack of a sense of rhythm, tempo, and meter. Living in the rhythm that life circumstances dictate to you is the basis of harmony and happiness. Hubbart: "To live in a world of high speeds with slow people is not safe." On musical examples(I mainly give topics from the folk musical creativity, later I will explain why) children learn to play on famous instruments Orff: spoons, rattles, drums, xylophones and many others. Getting to the beat of the music and matching it in rhythm, on their instruments, children enter an ecstatic state of musical unity, they have a sense of significance, a sense of their own creativity. By the way, even with the most insignificant victories, I ask the child to pat himself on the head, to praise himself. It is important to encourage yourself for work and results from childhood in order to support the desire to do more. And, of course, the teacher makes a reward in the form of a five.
It is also important that the child remembers that we count grandmother Muzyka to four. Very good help to read the rhythm of "two barats": Ti and Ta. Ti is small, nimble, fast, and we designate it like this (Fig. a):
And Ta is a big and important brother, we designate him like this (Fig. B):
Ti-ti-ta sits inside them like an alarm clock and works to the rhythm of the music. And that's great.
Writing rhythmic dictations helps to develop a sense of rhythm and tempo. The teacher plays the rhythmic pattern on one note. The child writes it down in a notebook, having previously played it on percussion instrument and saying aloud the words ti and ta. It is very important that he felt like a little composer. He can assign multi-colored notes to the rhythmic scheme at his own discretion, try to play his work, give it a name. Often, children at home with their parents compose words to their music, it turns out a song own composition. A huge interest in his work develops, the child understands that he can compose music about a mouse, and about autumn, and, of course, about his mother.
Interest in playing the piano grows from lesson to lesson. Since before the full study of the preparatory music course, I do not put them at the instrument right away, as in a music school, but they sit down themselves when they are already well oriented in finding notes in any octave, singing solfeggio. Children themselves ask to play, it happens by itself with great joy and pleasure. You need to practice with them. Primarily, we hang, as if on a hook, on the third finger "coats" or "cloaks". With a relaxed hand, children should feel their third finger and support.
Then we transfer our free hand with a sensitive third finger to the keyboard.
It is necessary to do an exercise with them on different fingers, the main thing is that they move in mirror image from each other. Each teacher has his own tricks, the main thing is that it is convenient, easy to take the sound. The process of sound production should be natural and comfortable. At the end of the year, they calmly play the C major scale in a direct and divergent movement, chromatic scale, arpeggio (it is the most difficult, so I practice singing triads in every lesson) and chords. Children love chords, as this is the easiest kind of accompaniment to their songs. At the end of the first year of study, children sing songs to their own accompaniment in the key of C major.
Now the collections of I. Korolkova “To the Little Musician” parts 1 and 2 are very in demand and popular.
Vivid illustrations and consistently well-written musical material give their amazing results. When studying the bass clef, the pieces from Leshchinskaya's collection "Baby on the Piano" help me.
It is also very useful to let children rewrite solfeggio numbers with treble clef into the bass, while not forgetting to paint the notes in the colors of the rainbow. Visual clarity in the form of a large stave and multi-colored notes already in the bass key helps. Here we are helped to love bass clef such fairy tale characters like Bear, Wolf, Baba Yaga, Santa Morz, etc.
Appeal to folk art, folklore is not accidental. Due to computerization, urbanization and very little communication with wildlife, there is a loss of connection with the past. Children don't know much folk tales, proverbs, sayings, lullabies. Unfortunately, modern parents read little or do not read fairy tales at night, do not sing lullabies. But this is so beneficial for the psyche of the child. The fact is that in each of us there is a genetic memory the memory of ancestors. She gives us strength, nourishes us with her juice. Feeling the family in ourselves, we are an integral part of our people. It is important for a person, so nourish him folk art, it's like feeding mother's milk on a spiritual level. Therefore, as musical illustrations, I use folk music: Russian, Bashkir, Tatar, Georgian, Ukrainian. To make the archaic sound of folklore music more understandable for children, my accompanist stylizes and modernizes it. All minus phonograms sound folk, but in the context of modern pop -culture. Children love to sing folk songs, as “The baby went”, “Grapes”, “Oh, early, on Ivan”, “Funny geese”, “Kolyada”; Bashkir “Ai, Uralym”, potpourri on the themes of famous Bashkir folk songs, Tatar "Round Lake", Georgian "Rushing Aragve into the distance" and so on. The practice of working with microphones in the studio and on stage is very useful. At first, children get used to the timbre of their voice, then they begin to love it, find their own timbre features, “highlights”. And listening to their vocal recordings teaches them to analyze their voice and transform it into better side.
During the year, an aspiring musician masters general musical concepts and knowledge, as well as basic basic skills. He can:
To sing and conduct according to the notes according to the collection of Kalmykov-Fridkin from numbers 1 to 30
Write rhythmic and intonational dictations in 2/4 time in the key of C major for 8 measures
Do analysis piece of music, knows how to tell what kind of grandmother was Music sad or cheerful, fast or slow. Knows how to calculate and slam it.
Play the scale in C major
Play accompaniment to 1 2 children's simple songs in the key of C-major, using a full functional revolution T S D T .
Play any of the pieces from Korolkova’s collection “To the Little Musician” in part 1 and the first half of part 2. (The most advanced of the students reach the end of the second part).
Sing to a minus phonogram with a microphone.
Compose your own melodies and write them down in a music notebook.
The process of introducing huge world musical art is very creative and varied. And built on love becomes unforgettable and effective for the child!
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 there, put marks, conduct lessons, exams, tests, but at the same time, music education is impossible without a creative component, the presence of certain abilities that are either given by nature or not.
The preparatory class of the music school is necessary to solve main task, which is the most relevant at this stage: weed out children who are simply not able to match even minimum criteria. Its main goal is always to identify truly gifted children from the general flow 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 music school, each student throughout the entire period of study must study such disciplines as solfeggio and choral singing. Children are preparing for them. They take special preparatory courses, where they study musical notation, without which it is impossible to start mastering a musical instrument, as well as singing in a choir, which develops not only the student's voice, but also his sense of rhythm, tempo, and music.
Most often, only children under the age of 7 are admitted to the preparatory classes of music schools. Older children who are already in school and studying one of the obligatory disciplines there "music" in most cases have residual knowledge and skills to quickly navigate new area. On initial stage learning a musical instrument long time only the basics are included, for the development of which a minimum is required that is accessible to everyone.
After the end of the preparatory class, there is still no guarantee that the child will go to a music school. Before the start of the school year, upon admission to grade 1, entrance exams are held, where, along with children who were trained in the preparatory class, there will be a competitive selection and those who did not attend it.
Every music school has a certain amount of places for which students are recruited in grade 1. Therefore, according to the results of entrance examinations, a strictly defined number of children is recruited. At the same time, applicants who were trained in the preparatory class participate in the selection for common grounds. But at the same time, in most cases, they still have a little more chance of admission.
Selection for grade 1 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 preschool children.
