Value of musical noise instruments for modern art education

The article raises the issue regarding the possibilities of using musical noise instruments in the process of mass art education. The relevance of the topic is predetermined by these facts: a) insufficient attention of representatives of musical education to the use of musical noise instruments; b) the growing importance of this type of instrument in academic and popular music; c) increasing interest of modern youth in instrumental music making; b) the low degree of development of the theory and methodology of playing musical noise instruments. The goal of the work is to consider the phenomenon of musical noise instruments from the education viewpoint as well as to determine their pedagogical potential. The content of the article. Based on the analysis of special literature, the classification concept “musical noise instruments” has been specified. Their mechanical, acoustic, plastic, cultural and educational properties have been characterised. The features of musical noise instruments that determine the possibility and expediency of their use in the practice of musical education have been determined. The results of the study. It is proposed to understand “musical noise instruments” as acoustic mechanical devices that allow creating more or less plastic broadband and colour noises. It has been established that musical noise instruments have an important educational value, which can be explained by a number of factors: a) these instruments belong to the oldest sound generation devices in the history of mankind, familiarity with them serves to expand cultural knowledge and gnostic motivation for art education; b) mastery of them opens the way for developing traditions of the native national art and the wealth of other national cultures; c) musical noise instruments primarily serve to reproduce the musical rhythm in all its expressiveness and structural complexity; involvement of schoolchildren in playing music with musical noise instruments promotes the development of their musical and rhythmic abilities, perceptions and skills; d) since the role of musical noise instruments today has significantly increased in the practice of classical, jazz and popular music, the acquaintance of students with these instruments should be considered as one of the ways to master the poetics and artistic language of modern music in its various style and genre manifestations; e) musical noise instruments have a high potential in attracting preschool children and primary school pupils to active ensemble music playing. Modern pedagogy of higher education should study and develop the didactic capabilities of musical noise instruments in training future teachers of musical art: the formation of their sense of rhythm, texture, architectonics, timbre palette, intonational expressiveness; arranging skills, expanding musical and cultural experience. These tasks require an appropriate technique, the development of which is the author's further task.
