In adolescence, interest in an instrument such as the guitar is especially pronounced. Playing the guitar and in an ensemble is the most mass form active involvement in music. Due to the popularity of this species art, a social order has been formed for fast and high-quality education.

Traditional methods of teaching guitar are not effective enough for club use. Filling requirements require classes in groups rather than individually, which reduces the speed of learning. All interested children are accepted into the club; teenagers are recruited into the association without special selection. State of the art musical abilities sometimes it comes down to the level of inclinations.

The novelty of the methodology lies in the use of modern computer technologies and teaching methods that promote the musical and creative development of adolescents, taking into account their individual capabilities, abilities, and the safety of the contingent:

• selection of works taking into account the interests and hobbies of students.
• studying tablature, the most convenient recording for learning melodies
• mastering the musical computer program “Guitar pro” for learning parts in an ensemble

Goal and tasks

Target: accelerated learning to play the guitar using the Guitar Pro program

Tasks:

• teach how to use the Guitar Pro program
• develop internal ear for music, sense of rhythm, ability to improvise and create
• cultivate diligence, perseverance, independence, responsibility, ability to work in a team

Psychological and pedagogical explanation of the specifics of perception and mastery of educational material by students in accordance with age characteristics

Features of this age are associated with the peak of puberty. This is the period when there is a desire to break free from the control of adults and assert oneself as an individual. At this time, the teenager needs communication among peers, which brings the teenager into companies, sometimes even unfavorable ones. This is when the effectiveness comes into play. group classes, where children are brought together by common interests, common causes, there is an opportunity to realize their strengths and express themselves in the creative field. Thinking becomes more systematized. It is characterized by a transition to highest level development - theoretical, formal-logical. Main core cognitive development at this age, thinking in concepts begins: the formation of abstract concepts takes place, making it possible to reveal deeper connections between objects and phenomena of reality, to understand the patterns that govern reality.

A distinctive feature of adolescence is an internal inclination towards creative expression, an internal tendency towards productivity, this manifests itself in the form of composing poems, songs, diaries, etc., in the creation of a certain love ideal.

The fantasy of a teenager is more creative than the fantasy of a child, although less productive than the fantasy of an adult.

What is essentially new in the development of fantasy in adolescence is precisely that the teenager’s imagination comes into close connection with thinking in concepts, it is intellectualized, included in the system of intellectual activity and begins to play a completely new function in the new structure of the teenager’s personality.

We can say that the creative images created by a teenager’s imagination perform for him the same function that works of art performed for an adult. This is art for yourself.

The free participation of everyone and the encouraging atmosphere of preparation for the fight awaken ingenuity and humor in those students who seemed to have none. Many show themselves as organizers: students, as a rule, select the performers themselves, establish the order of summing up the results, and find the necessary materials. Carrying out this kind of games turns out to be not just entertainment for students, but one of the most exciting things.

Their disposition to improvise is very noticeable. For example, in the first year of study, in order to convey the character of a piece of music or some image, they try to theatricalize their performance. And in the third year of study, when the guys have already mastered the basic course and worked out the playing technique, they enjoy improvising in solo parts, composing melodies and songs themselves.

However, the inability to realize one's creative potential, turning your ideas into reality can lead to the manifestation of other qualities characteristic of a given age period, for example, stubbornness, selfishness, isolation, withdrawal, and outbursts of anger. That's why it's so important to take care of spiritual world, manifestation of teenagers' feelings.

Creating conditions for creativity, the opportunity to discover new things for creative search and self-expression, as social factors, play an important role in the development creativity teenagers They (these conditions) can either slow down, block creativity, or contribute to its manifestation.

throughout educational process the guys learn not only professional skills but also the ability to be friends, help each other, respect and appreciate both themselves and those around them, and most importantly - to love each other, to love the beautiful, to love their HOMELAND. The formation of youth as patriotic individuals is important and necessary today. Therefore, a lot of attention in the program is paid specifically to Russian, Soviet and modern Russian music.

Expected results

Conceptual Framework

Work with teenagers in the musical association “Voice Strings” is based on general humanistic and artistic-pedagogical principles:

1. The principle of humanization. Personality is nurtured by personality. Humanistic pedagogical interaction provides for the personal growth of the teacher and students, their joint personal development, creating favorable conditions for identifying and cultivating individually specific elements of general and special talent in each child.
2. The principle of harmonization of personality and environment. Development of interests, abilities, formation of a personality that will be in unity with the world, people and with oneself.
3. The principle of activity and consciousnessis expressed in the fact that it is necessary to accustom the child to pose questions, both in front of the teacher and for independent answers and solutions.
4. The principle of visibilityis based on the peculiarities of the development of a child’s thinking, which develops from the concrete to the abstract. Visualization increases the child’s interest in knowledge and makes the learning process easier.
5. Accessibility principleis expressed in the need to take into account the age and individual characteristics of students in the learning process and the inadmissibility of its excessive complexity and overload, in which mastery of the material being studied may be overwhelming.
6. The principle of systematicity and consistencylearning involves students’ deep understanding of the logic and system in the content of the knowledge being acquired, as well as systematic work on repetition, systematization and generalization of the material being studied.
7. The principle of the strength of learning and its cyclical natureassumes that the child performs a full cycle of educational and cognitive actions during the learning process: perceives and comprehends educational material, memorizing it and repeating it.
8. The principle of motivationthe development of internal motivation involves awareness of the need for training for later life, the process of learning as an opportunity for communication, praise from significant persons, the desire to be the center of attention.
9. The principle of educational, developmental and educational functions of training:

• careful preparation of the teacher for classes, selection of material;
• choosing teaching methods that would activate children's thinking;

• the connection between theory and practice, teaching with the productive work of students, the formation of their views and beliefs.

1. Principles of interaction:

• at the level of the relationship between the teacher and the teenager during the lessons;
• interaction of students as partners in creative activity.

Description of the Guitar Pro program

Guitar Pro program well known to guitarists all over the world. Amazing opportunities that it gives this program for a musician, even “old people” who cannot master modern computer technologies cannot remain indifferent.

What is the program?

Guitar Pro is a sheet music and tablature editor designed for guitarists. This program has become widespread due to the fact that there is a huge library of almost all guitar music on the Internet. Unlike other music editors, which are mainly designed for printing music text, Guitar Pro gives the maximum visual understanding of the guitarist's playing.

The guitarist can see both standard notes, tablature indicating which frets to play certain notes on, and the guitar neck where these notes are reflected. The program has introduced the RSE function, which provides exceptional sound for this type of program. Typing notes can be done either from a midi keyboard (or guitar synthesizer), from a regular computer keyboard, or using a mouse, pointing out notes on the guitar fretboard. Dialing is quick and easy.

To study famous pieces, you can reduce the tempo and simply analyze all the nuances of the virtuoso’s play, bar by beat.

The Guitar Pro program interface is quite simple and easy to use. At the top of Guitar Pro there is the main, so to speak, remote control for working with the program, on which there are various buttons, such as key signs, reprises, note duration, tablature tempo and others. Also, in the same upper part of the program, there is a guitar neck and a piano keyboard, on which, during the playback of tablature, there are indicators that tell you which string, keys on which fret, to take in a given beat.

In the middle part of the program, there is a notation and tablature stave, in which the typing and editing of the tablature itself is carried out. At the bottom of the program Guitar Pro guitar effects and a track panel are located, for creating parts for several instruments, such as bassguitar , drums and many others.

Possibilities:

• Multi-track recording of guitar and bass guitar parts in the form of tablature; simultaneously with the creation of tablature, a corresponding recording in sheet music is created;
• A powerful MIDI sheet music editor that allows Guitar Pro to be used not only by guitarists;
• Builder of tablatures for percussion instruments;
• Adding lyrics and linking them to the notes of tracks with vocals;
• Powerful built-in guitar chord builder and finder;
• Export of created scores into various graphic and text formats, printing;
• Import from MIDI, MusicXML and others, export to MIDI, WAV;
• A virtual guitar fretboard and piano keyboard that displays the notes currently being played. They can also be used to create and edit guitar parts;
• Built-in metronome, guitar tuner, track transpose tool;
• A variety of instruments for reproducing the notes and sound of typical guitar playing techniques;

Working with Guitar Pro

After loading, there will be a white field with six horizontal lines - this is the designation of the strings, the first from above, the second from below, and all together this is called a track.

As a rule, the composition consists of the consonance of many musical instruments(guitar, bass, drums, etc.). Each instrument produces sounds, the order in which these sounds are played on the working field is indicated by a series of numbers (frets) on six horizontal lines (strings), this is a track, it should be noted that there can only be one for each instrument.

At the bottom, on the left, there is a window, “track properties”, here the track number, name (by clicking on the name, you can change it), instrument (you can also change it in

any time, for example, replace an acoustic guitar with an organ, and so on), here you can also change the volume, balance, etc.

At the top of the work field there are toolbars with shortcuts:

• Standard. Create, open, save.

• Settings. Here you change the settings of the program itself, that is, appearance, starting music on boot, etc.

• Print, preview, cut and copy.Here the program asks from which bar, at which bar it is necessary to insert, add a track

• Change sound settings.Here you can change the instrument, volume, balance, etc.

• Tact. Each composition is characterized by the organization of sounds in time. At the same time, the obligatory quality of sounds is their forceful emphasis - emphasis or not emphasis. The periodic alternation of strong and weak sounds, perceived by our ears, makes it possible to dismember musical composition into parts. These parts are called measures; the boundary of a measure in the working field (as on the staff) is marked by a vertical line - a bar line.

• Time signature. The beat size is indicated by two numbers, which are written one below the other. The top number indicates the number of beats, and the bottom number indicates the duration of each beat of the bar. Open/close reprise. Mark the places from where and to where you need to repeat the playback.

• Rearrange views.Move the "track properties" field above/below the working field.

• Note duration.The note duration symbols are indicated here. The basis for determining the duration of sounds is a conventional unit of time, for example one or several seconds. Sounds of various durations are recorded using notes that have different kind. Let's take one second as a conventional unit of time.

1. A whole note. The duration of a whole note is measured in four conventional units of time - therefore, equal to four seconds (the METRON is responsible for tapping these conventional units in Guitar Pro), it is depicted by an oval circle.
2. Half note. The duration of a half note is half as long as a whole note - therefore, it will be measured by counting "one, two". This means that the count of “one, two, three, four” produces two half notes. A half note is represented by an oval circle with the addition of a vertical stick (calm).
3. Quarter note. The duration of a quarter note is half as long as a half note, that is, equal to one count, which means that the count “one, two, three, four” will account for four quarter notes. A quarter note is represented by a black oval circle with an added stem.
4. Eighth note. The duration of an eighth note is half as long as a quarter note, which means the count of “one, two, three, four” is eight eighth notes. The eighth note is represented by a black oval circle with the addition of one tail (flag) to the stem.
5. Sixteenth note. "One, two, three, four" - sixteen sixteenth notes. It is depicted as a black oval circle with two flags added to the calm.
6. Thirty-second. Similarly. It is depicted as a black oval circle with three flags added to the calm.
7. Sixty-four. Similarly. It is depicted as a black oval circle with four flags added to the calm.

• Playback. Play from the beginning, the current measure, from the current position, go to the beginning, to the end, one step back/forward (play the previous/next sound (note)), loop playback (after finishing playing the melody, it will sound from the beginning), metronome.

• Pace. It is possible to reduce/increase the playback tempo.

The "File" menu has two buttons "Export" and "Import". You can export and import both Midi files and ASCII tablature.

• Export. When exporting, the recording made in GP is saved in Midi format (all tracks are exported, and a full-fledged Midi file is obtained) or ASCII tablature (they are opened with any Windows text editor).

• Import.
  When importing Midi files, a window will pop up in which you can listen to all the tracks, each one separately. It is possible to import quick method, GP will simply transfer each track from the Midi file and correctly determine the pitch and duration of the sound. And also in step-by-step mode, title, tracks (one at a time), and you can also import several tracks into one.

Between the “Bookmarks” and “Sound” buttons there is a “Helpers” button, by clicking on which a number of useful functions appear:

• Speed ​​trainer.Allows you to practice a new battle or more accurately select the tempo.

• Transpose. Allows move notes one or more semitones.
