How to Wake Up a Child Prodigy: Musicians on the Way to Parnassus
https://doi.org/10.26105/SSPU.2023.85.4.011
Abstract
This article raises the issue of the child prodigy phenomenon as a super- efficient development of child musicians in order to improve the existing traditional education systems. The problem of super results and dynamization of productivity and learning in almost all areas of human activity in the modern world is becoming more and more acute. This is especially true in the arts.
This is the reason for the relevance of this study, which reveals the topic through the analysis of biographical facts and teaching methods of famous musical prodigies of the 18th-21st centuries, from Wolfgang Mozart, Franz Liszt, Fryderyk Chopin, Sergei Prokofiev, Frank Robinson to Evgeny Kisin, Lang Lang, Aimi Kobayashi, Elisey Mysin and others (some information was introduced into the research literature and analyzed for the first time, which is the reason for the scientific novelty of the study).
The authors discover a number of patterns in the professional development of super gifted children that can be used to optimize traditional teaching methods, and also pose global questions to the scientific pedagogical community about the development prospects and new methodological directions of the educational system, about the use of new resources that appear in connection with significant progress in areas of related sciences — psychology, physiology, bioengineering, biomechanics.
