Ana-Maria DEMIAN - CREATIVE EXPLORATION OF MUSICAL DICTATION: IDEAS AND TECHNIQUES FOR ORGANISING AN INSPIRED ACTIVITY |
ABSTRACT Undoubtedly, the development of students' creative abilities depends to a large extent on the teacher's ability to create a suitable learning environment. The teacher helps students to structure and organize their knowledge. The effectiveness of pupils' creativity depends on the teacher's ability to organize their work intelligently and make the use of all teaching resources dependent on the objectives set. All the more so, as in today's socio-cultural context, children's attention is attracted and distracted by a variety of real and virtual environments that fascinate them and make them want to be part of multiple communities and engage in multiple experiences. As a result, educational leaders are in a position to better support these experiences in schools and make children's education more engaging. Among the many possibilities to consider, this article addresses creativity as a main factor in achieving an attractive, open and flexible educational process, as well as planning lessons in an interactive way, in line with children's expectations and current societal demands. Keywords: creativity, brainwriting, student-centred education, theory–solfeggio–dictation interactivity. |

| Cecilia CURIS - E – LEARNING AND MUSIC THERAPY – CORRELATIVE STUDY | ABSTRACT Purpose: Music therapy is recognized as an effective scientific method both in solving medical and psychological problems and in maintaining psychological well-being in healthy people. However, its therapeutic potential is used to a limited extent. The present study brings to the fore, as a working hypothesis, the correlation between the accessibility of music therapy as a method of remote medical and psychological intervention, in relation to the digital literacy offered by technological developments. The potential of remote music therapy has been recognised in the context of pandemic social isolation and the concept deserves to be preserved and used in the future due to its undeniable benefits. Method: The design of the study was conceived in such a way as to use digital methods in order to collect data from the sample of respondents, through the Google Forms application, software for collection and automatic statistical analysis of data. An analysis of the collected data was applied in parallel, using the Minitab software. Results: Data processing confirms the working hypothesis, namely the fact that melotherapy can represent an alternative method of therapy, with a positive statistical correlation between acceptability and adherence to MT and e-learning. Conclusions: The limits of the study are determined by the small size of the study sample. Although there are positive correlations between variables, more in-depth studies on larger statistical populations and the integration of data in a wider context are needed in accordance with the evolution of e-learning and the development of telehealth tools. An important role is played by patients' beliefs regarding both telemedicine and the benefits of MT per se. Keywords: Music therapy; e-learning; medical and psychological settings; evidence-based therapy methods. |

| Bianca Teodora BĂILĂ - MUSIC EDUCATION FOR ANYONE. EASY AND EFFECTIVE EAR TRAINING METHODS OF BROADENING A MUSICIAN’S INNER HEARING | ABSTRACT Rhythmic education has always been regarded as one of the most important components of musical education and considered crucial in order to develop satisfactory cognitive, audible and sensorial music abilities. The method proposed in the following paragraphs will describe the use of comparative rhythmic and melodic exercises treated more as didactical games rather than simple written or oral activities. Moreover, it lists suitable pedagogical approaches that are necessary in order to train and strengthen the ear training technique. All of these elements are destined for beginners that do not study music as a main subject and for groups of pupils from the primary and elementary school that study music as a main subject. By insisting on practicing numerous rhythmic patterns and interval jumps, the improvements in writing dictation and singing solfeggios were proven to be significant and various students from different age groups showed signs of major developments. This simple but efficient ear training method, which was based on worksheets, images, music sheets and lots of music auditions, made students understand and correctly master the differences, and later the connections, between sounds and durations. Keywords: Music Education; Music Cognition; Rhythmic Improvement; Teaching Method; International Approaches; Fun in the classroom; Creative lessons. |

| Gabriela SIMA - DANCE AS A FORM OF ARTISTIC EDUCATION FOR THE COMMUNITY | ABSTRACT The fact that dance is a universal language, makes it accessible in all corners of the world, regardless of the space or time we find ourselves in. In fact, the advantages of the study of dance are multiple in any of the systems we relate, formally or nonformally, the latter encompassing the freedom of expression, so preferred today in all age categories. Within the Pro Napoca Art and Sport Association, in addition to the usual ballet and dance classes, numerous programs and projects are carried out that have as objective the implementation of the show-exercise, through which children become young artists, are part of the story of the show, play roles, transmit the character's feelings, get acquainted with the notions of music, act according to the instructions of the show coordinator. Since 2008 until now, the association has carried out about 28 projects with young people and children from non-vocational backgrounds, in the form of recitals, productions, performances. We chose as case studies four types of artistic projects, namely: The Voice of the Birds, The Lark, Gala of Champions and Jazzy Christmas, being suggestive in terms of the objectives that were set. Having a different context of development, these activities have generated multiple and diverse benefits to children who practice dance. Keywords: Non-formal education; ballet/dance for children; dance performances with/for children; interference of the arts. |

| Nicoleta DEMIAN, Ursula LEVENS - EDUCATION FOR THE COMMUNITY IN DANCE AND MUSIC TODAY | ABSTRACT The creation of a stage performance with students is, first of all, a matter of communication. This collaborative work of creation, teaching and learning specific art techniques is an essential part in the field of art as well as a challenge for academy and university teachers. In this article we describe from different points of view how students could become familiar with a multitude of innovating techniques and procedures of form and artistic language by preparing a stage performance in the community. In the following article the choreographer and dance teacher Nicoleta Demian (N.D.) and the musician and music teacher Ulla Levens (U.L.) dispute the topic 'aesthetic education' by responding to four questions in common with a view on their individual fields of working with students in art. Keywords: Art education, learning experiences; artistic creation; group improvisation; interdisciplinarity as a cognitive tool. |

| Cătălina CĂPĂȚÎNĂ - TEACHER'S ROLE IN MANAGING STUDENT PERFORMANCE ANXIETY IN PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS | ABSTRACT One of the paradoxical situations encountered among musicians highlights the well-being/poor health binomial state, in which the same individual can feel, for example, a well-being sensation when listening to a musical work, while the same individual may experience anxiety, palpitations and depression, or rather poor mental health, when it comes to performing the work in front of an audience. Mental health appears to be directly proportional to the quality of the performance. The more harmonised and balanced the mind-energy-body aggregate is, the more enjoyable the experience of playing a musical instrument can become. Most primary school pupils (ages 7–11) are unaware of the physical, psychological and emotional complexities and implications of instrumental performance; as a consequence, the role of harmonising them lies with the instrument teacher that, in the early years of violin study, has a significant impact on the further development of the child as a performer and on the attitude the pupil develops towards music. Keywords: teacher, violin, anxiety, oxytocin, emotions. |
