“…To achieve these competencies, your perceptual and cognitive abilities are connected to deliberate and involuntary body movements. The agility of perceptual acts in front of the score is essential for improving the skills of predicting actions more precisely and quickly around what is being stylized (Arthur et al, 2020). At the same time, selecting the most efficient and ergonomically viable fingering for the instrumental realization of the idealized events is also crucial for the success of the improvisation.…”

We focus on professional Brazilian music of the instrumental genre and address the crucial role of sight-reading in its development. We argue that in addition to the standard concept of sight-reading — related to the strict deciphering of signs on the pentagram — other reading praxis founded, over the last two centuries, what came to be recognized as Brazilian music. In this sense, we highlight that the notational format internationally known as lead sheet (the notational standard used in the context in question) not only enabled the availability of essen-tial musical elements for the singularization of work and authorship but also led to the con-solidation of the collection of images musicals that constituted the genre in question. In this way, the interaction of imagined simulations of generic patterns—the action of embodied memory — with reading the lead sheet gave rise to works and defined a repertoire. Consid-ering assumptions of embodied cognition of music, stylistic-musical foundations, and the analysis of recordings and transcriptions, we speculate attributing a central role to sight-read-ing in the constitution of the stylistic field addressed — primarily represented by Choro. It is a musical production originated by and in performance, encompassing phrasal and harmonic improvisation, modes of articulation, and sonority.

The research objectives are as follows: to consider the possibilities of modern digital technologies in education; to assess the impact of digital technology on the study of a work of art. The study results show the advantages and disadvantages of the WeChat software and the MOOC application, obtained on the basis of a survey of students. According to the WeChat software, 100% of students said they use the app. According to 100% (328 students) of the respondents, the advantage is free use; 98% (321 students) noted learning flexibility and ease of use; 85% (279 students) reported high quality sound and image; 83% (272 students) appreciated instant messages; 75% (246 students) enjoyed integrated screen sharing during conversation; 65% (213 students) reported call recording; 25% (82 students) enjoyed phone calls and protection of private conversations. According to 46% of respondents (151 students), the disadvantages are delay and poor audio quality at the beginning of communication; 42% (138 students) -inaccessibility to other incoming calls during a conversation; 35% (115 students) -difficulties associated with reading a text message received during a video chat; 20% (66 students) -lack of round-the-clock technical support.

“…The COVID-19 p;emic forced the learning system to change drastically ; moved from face-to-face to distance mode of information delivery. Change entailed the transformation of the curriculum (ARTHUR et al, 2020). The digitalisation of education is a global phenomenon that helps teachers to improve the learning process via digital technologies (MILLICAN ; PELLEGRINO, 2017).…”

This research investigates creative approaches to learning the piano with digital tools. A sociological survey was used to analyse the effectiveness of the teaching approaches. The authors found that the most popular online courses were language learning (32%), programming (21%), and performing arts (including music education), which account for about 2% of all educational courses. The authors recommended new approaches to teach music such as a programme for teaching piano lessons with digital tools. The results will help researchers to develop an effective framework for teaching piano with digital technologies and improve academic performance.
