Improvement of the Music Teaching Process in Preschool Educational Organizations on the Basis of Innovative Pedagogical Technologies

This article studies the issue of improving the process of organizing music classes in middle groups of preschool educational organizations, that is, with children aged 4-5, based on interactive and game technologies. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that in the process of developing the musical abilities of preschool children, being limited to traditional reproductive classes does not allow for sufficient use of the child's natural interest, need for movement and creative activity. The article interprets the concept of musical ability as an interrelated complex of listening to music, distinguishing pitch and duration, feeling rhythm, singing, acting in accordance with music, and musical creative activity. The research methodology is based on a combination of systematic, person-oriented, activity-based and competency-based approaches. The research used pedagogical observation, theoretical analysis, comparative analysis, modeling and pedagogical design methods. As a result, it was proposed to implement the “Listen — Move — Perform — Create — Reflect” model aimed at developing the musical abilities of 4–5-year-old children. The model combines interactive exercises, didactic musical games, rhythmic movements, role-playing games and creative tasks into a single pedagogical system. The research results substantiate the possibilities of game and interactive technologies to transform the musical development of preschool children into a natural, active and emotional process.
