“…Each of them is distinguished by its own spiritual value, uniqueness and, at the same time, is marked by unity in a number of constitutive intellectual-spiritual aspects. This dialectical essence is a consequence of a personalized authorial origin manifestation associated with the appearance (during this historical stage) of an individual creative personality expressed in a composer's genius (Zalar et al, 2015;Emerson, 1996).…”

The article is devoted to comprehension of specifics and formation prerequisites of composer’s and musical authorship phenomena historical formation in European culture of the Middle Ages. Genesis of composer’s phenomenon and individual musical authorship model is considered on the basis of historical, socio-cultural and aesthetic-artistic transformations, on awareness about their dynamic’s tendencies and general cultural institutionalization of an authorship phenomenon, as well as on an increasing role of individual creativity in an artistic realm. It is stated that multi-ethnic and anonymous culture of oral tradition, folklore and Christian singing practices, as well as instrumental improvisation’s traditions, became spiritual sources of this phenomena and turn into a strong foundation of musical professionalism and creative impulse for European authorial music evolution. It is emphasized that process of composer’s formation as a creativity subject and musical professionalism carrier was stimulated by the necessity of everyday vocal-choral practice, conditioned by the spiritual context of time, by intention on theocentric world’s picture and religious – Christian outlook dominance. Significant role of secular direction development in the context of music-author’s discourse formation and composer’s figure assertion in the late Middle Ages is highlighted.

“…For example, K. Zalar, U. Kordes and B. Sicherl Kafol have studied the possibilities of using musical instruments in improving the social competences of primary school children. In the study, the playing of musical instruments took place in groups, which made it possible to conclude that mutual communication in acquiring musical language is more important than the acquisition of the musical instruments' playing techniques (Zalar, Kordes, Sicherl Kafol, 2015). The social interaction and communication skills as a result of playing the musical instruments are highlighted in a study conducted by B. Eren and G. Gül on the integration of Romani children into the education system.…”

This paper analyses the factors affecting the acquisition of metallophone in primary school music lessons. The aim of the study is to determine the factors that affect the primary school student's performance while playing the metallophone in the classroom and to identify the factors that might be subject to change in case of repeating the performance. To achieve this aim, previous studies which focused on the impact of playing musical instruments on the students' musical, general and intellectual development have been analysed, and an empirical study on the factor affecting the acquisition of playing the metallophone was carried out. The study took place in two general education schools located in different Latvian cities during the period from March 2018 to May 2018, with a sample of 105 students (N=105) in the 3rd-grade. In order to identify the factors that might affect the primary school student while playing the metallophone, each student had to perform two exercises on the metallophone. After each exercise, the student was asked to complete a self-assessment questionnaire. The study identified four key factors determining the acquisition of metallophone, which are reflected in this paper as study dimensions: initiative, self-confidence, self-control, and achievement orientation. The study found that none of the factors that affect the acquisition of metallophone was at a low level. The students' achievement orientation was at a high level, which means that the students were interested in using metallophone to play both exercises. The students have assessed the self-control dimension at a middle level, which means that the self-control skills of the 3rd-grade students still need to be improved by encouraging them to continue practising on the musical instrument. Repeating the same exercise on the metallophone has shown that the students examine the correctness of their performance, are more restrained and more confident that they will achieve the goal. The study result provides an opportunity to better understand the impact of the initiative, self-confidence, self-control, and achievement orientation on the acquisition of playing the metallophone in primary school.
