Reflection and Research Related to Integrated Music Education  Pattern Recognition Flexibility     The future of effective learning is combined with pattern recognition technology.It is known that difficulties in perception of any information, including musical one, cause strain of the main functional systems in the child’s body. Statistics and practice show , the period of learning  with using of the generally accepted music grammar is pulled for several years. At early stage of learning upto thirty percent of children lose their interest to the music subject and leave study. This situation is explained by the excessive load arising at the first contact of the child with a complex format to learn a piano.     In order to protect the health of parents and children , in response to COVID -19 , we propose to replace face-to-face music training with remote music learning. We would like to share a tech - resource that can both reduce the risk of severe disease and simplify the methods of initial music training. Melody Recognition on Numeric Sequences  3345. 5432. 1123. 3020. 3345. 5432. 1123. 2010. Ode to Joy Ludvig van Bethoven            3330. 3330. 3512. 3000. 4444. 4333. 3223. 2050. 3330. 3330. 3512. 3000. 4444.4333. 3554. 2010. Jingle Bells Formatted lessons give a positive result regardless of the platform both interactive and online lessons.The above should not be understood as a rejection of generally accepted music teaching in the classrooms but to protect the health of children and adolescents, online learning technology will be effective and successful.    The Project "Reflection " is aimed at studying the somatosensory integration of nerve signals in the main functional systems of the child’s organism : the central nervous system, auditory ,muscular , visual , using electrophysiology measurement techniques - ENG, EMG,EEG, Audiometry.    Method EEG allows to research the difference of the integrated synaptic signals , to make the comparative diagrams of dynamics of initiated spikes while perception music metric and digital patterns, plus the time of fatigue of synaptic structures and cells - neurons of cortex is determined .    Method ENG - EMG completes one another, joints the visual analyzer with the neuro-motorfunction of fingers and proves , from scientific point of view , the development of muscular fatigue in hands depending on the quantity of eyeballs’ fluctuations.    Method Audiometry allows to research the increment of sensitivity to the functional sounds ( pure-tone ,high - low pitched,brain waves, beta range) plus the behavioral audiometry.    Kids in modern world should receive the most effective teaching technologies.   https://lnkd.in/dDitw8h   NeuromusicLab Reflection Ukraine

Readout Algorithm in Elementary Music Education

 Digital Key in Initial Music Education
      In pedagogical  practice at the first stage of  musical  teaching the natural abilities of children were always  taken  into consideration, it is the main principle on which the pedagogical process is based. The child’s psycho-emotional status and neurophysiologic peculiarities of mechanisms of brain’s activity : perception of the information from the sheet, analysis and syntheses of the perceived  pattern, realization of the neuro-motor function of hands on the keyboard of an instrument  were not taken into consideration in due measure. Great study load is the cause of appearing negative emotions, lowers child’s interest to the music subject, as a result of  it, the development of  the child's  natural  musical abilities is restrained.
     The pedagogic task at initial stage of teaching consists in that to give the intensive development to the natural gift of a child, rationally to realize his potential music possibilities in special psychosomatic action as a result. With this purpose the method of Digital Key has been elaborated. It is the system of musical training based on the mode of perception of music sounds by means of digits. The recommended  technology is directed on the balanced and rational distribution of the sum study load  to a child's psycho-emotional sphere, foresees the program organization of educational process, permits systemic to manage by sum study effect.
     The physiological substantiation on application of the Digital Key for coding and decoding of a melody is the following : children begin their contact with digits already in preschool age, when they are taught to count and this system is learned by children quite firmly, since it is often used in their daily life. But the generally accepted music grammar is new for them and, naturally, requires some additional period of time to be acquired by children. It is for that reason that in the initial period of musical teaching, children inevitably spend a lot of time and efforts to read a melody written down in music signs. Naturally, it slows down rate of training, causes psycho-emotional discomfort, lowers the child’s interest to music. Therefore, in the initial period of teaching, besides work with the generally accepted music grammar, it will be useful to substitute it with the use of a digital system for some time. It does not mean that we want to do without standard music grammar but at the initial stages of musical education, the system of digital coding and decoding of music sounds is undoubtedly useful, as it speeds up teaching of children.
       It is well-known that the difficulties in perception of any information, including musical one, cause strain of the main functional systems in the child’s organism. Dynamics of movements and actions is characterized by time, high-speed, spatially-time, power and other parameters. Given parameters reflect the complex neurophysiologic processes passing in leading functional systems of the child’s organism ( central nervous system, muscular system, and others ) also explain the interrelations of neuromuscular coordination in their kinetic and dynamic data, the appearing threshold potential of synapse fatigue, interrelations between the frequency and  intensity of nervous impulses. With this purpose the experimental researches are to be performed, namely: ENG, EMG, EEG – tests on study the load appearing in the child’s psychic sphere. The methods of ENG and EMG joins the visual analyzer with neuro-motor function of the hands and explains, on the scientific point of view, the ratio between the load on muscles of eyes and hands’ muscles. One can see the interdependence between the perception of information (Readout Algorithm) and the synaptic transmission (Action Potential) and also it proves the possibility of development of muscular fatigue in hands depending on the quantity of eyeballs’ fluctuations. EEG-test allows to make up the diagrams of dynamics of the functional activity of neurons and synaptic structures during practical study on two different modes (Comparing Methods). The realization of the described scientific researches in this direction will allow us to approach closer to understanding of more subtle mechanisms of the child’s mental activity and to detect the neurophysiologic factors in promotion to the enhancement of the velocity, quality and efficiency of  musical education.
      In practical work, while reading the generally accepted music information  from sheet, the direction of eyeballs’ movements  is spasmodic, it has a multi-stage combination both on y – vertical, from the G-key up to the F-key, and on x- horizontal often with return of eyesight to the initial point. For integration, synthesis and the modification of complex pattern of the received information the structures of the central nervous system require an additional period of time. It is a neurophysiologic process proceeding in an interval of time between the moment of perception of the music information from sheet and the moment of the hands’ response on the keyboard of an instrument. A great number of irregular nervous impulses is transferred to the central nervous system per unit of time and, as the consequence of this, fatigue of hand muscles is considerably increased. An amplitude of muscle tension is directly dependent on the stimulation frequency, when each subsequent nervous impulse coincides with the phase of increased excitability of a muscle. An important neurophysiologic moment has been noted : during a short time interval the contracture, i.e., constantly high muscular tension is formed, that in turn, is harmfully reflected on the contents and character of a melody.
      In practical work while reading the digital information from sheet the trajectory of eyeballs’ movements on y–vertical is projected to the exact determinant ( digit, sign, symbol ), the trajectory of eyeballs’ movements on x – horizontal is projected in one direction, forwards. In the given system of dimension the integration of the digital information proceeds  instantly, its realization on an instrument proceeds in reflexive time-ratio. The paradoxical phenomenon is revealed : the interval of time, between the moment of perception of the digital information from sheet and the moment of the hands’ response on the keyboard of an instrument, is contracted to a minimum. We achieve a reduction of load on hand muscles at the expense of decreasing of an amplitude between muscle tension and the resulting movement and, as a consequence of this, the time intervals between effort and accuracy of pressing of a key are considerably shortened. An important neurophysiologic moment has been noted: reciprocal muscular  innervations  is formed, i. e. the rational distribution of the manual technique on the keyboard of an instrument, that in turn, is considerably reflected on the contents and character of the melody.
    While applying the technology of Digital Key, the child rationally distributes the total study load on leading functional systems his organism, creates highly - accurate coordination without inclusion in practical activity of unnecessary muscle groups, unnecessary movements, excessive effort by pressing a key, and it means, he excludes possibility of appearing of false acoustic and muscular sensations, and as a result of it, instantly creates a firm neuron linkage which in our life we call as a skill of coordinated action. Kids in modern world should receive the most effective education they deserve.

Considering the benefits of Digital Grammar in a Music Educational Program.

Reflection
          Considering the benefits of  Digital Grammar in a Music Educational Program .
Statistics and practice show that the period of learning by standard music grammar is delayed for several years. Already at the early stage of learning at Children’s Music School,within of two–three months,up to thirty percent of children lose their interest to music subject and leave the study.This phenomenon is explained by the study overload arising at the first contact of the child to difficult format of adopted note coding and decoding of music information.

        Synapse transmission between neurons in different systems of dimension - how can it improve
    the music education for beginners?
     Physiological Base.The physiological substantiation on the application of the digital system for coding and decoding of a melody is the following : children begin their contact with digits already in preschool age,when they are taught to count, and this system is learned by children quite firmly,since it is often used in their daily life.But the generally accepted music grammar is new for them and,naturally,requires some additional period of time to be acquired by children.It is for that reason that in the initial period of musical teaching,children inevitably spend a lot of time and efforts to read a melody written down in music signs.Naturally,it slows down rate of  training,causes psychoemotional discomfort,lowers the child’s interest to music.Therefore, in the initial stage of teaching,besides work with  generally accepted music grammar, will be useful to replace it with a digital system for a certain period.This does not  mean that we want to do without standard  music grammar,but at the initial stages of musical education,the system of digital coding and decoding of music sounds is undoubtedly useful,as it speeds up teaching of children.
   Neurophysiological Aspect. It is well known that the difficulties in the perception of any information,including musical one,cause strain of the main functional systems in the child’s organism.The developed digital technology of musical training is perspective,has a practical result,but it requires the physiologic and psychology researches devoted to studying  of an influence of a recommended method to psychoemotional  status and to a condition of the main functional systems of the child’s organism : the central nervous system,the muscular system and others.For this purpose,the experimental researches are to be performed,namely: ENG,EMG,EEG – tests to study the degree of mental load that the child has received in perception of the information recorded in different systems of dimension.Test Electronystagmography allows us to investigate eyeshot, positional nystagmus and also to determine the quantity of  fluctuations of  the eyeballs during the perception of melody written in the music marks and digital symbols.Electromyography test, allows us to investigate  the threshold of  muscular irritability( min – max )and amplitude of muscle tension,depending on effort and accuracy of pressing of a key on the keyboard of the instrument.The method of  ENG and EMG joins the visual analyzer with neuro motor function of the hands and explains,on the scientific point of view,the ratio between the load on muscles of eyes and muscles of  hands,and also it proves the possibility of development of muscular fatigue in hands depending on the quantity of eyeballs’ fluctuations.EEG - test allows us to make up the comparative diagrams of dynamics of  the proceeding neurophysiological processes, and also it offers an opportunity to investigate the functional activity of neurons during  the synthesis both of music and digital patterns.The realization of the described scientific researches in this direction will allow us to approach closer to understanding of more subtle mechanisms of the child’s mental activity and to detect the physiological factors in the promotion to the enhancement of the speediness, quality and efficiency of  musical education.
     Parallel Description
In practice, using the generally accepted music grammar, the child connects the definition of  the location of  the melody  to the pitch  i.e., to the system of dimension , which  is  written down  in the form of  an expanded construction , both on x –  the horizontal  and on y - the vertical. By reading the music information ,the direction of eyeballs’ movements is spasmodic, and  it has a multistep combination both on y – the vertical , from the G - key up to the F - key , and on x - the horizontal often with a return of eyesight to the starting point  of support. For an integration , synthesis and the modification of the complex pattern of  the received information the structures of  the central nervous system  require an additional period of  time. It is a neurophysiological process proceeding in an interval of time between the moment of perception of the music information  from the sheet and the moment of the hands’ response on the keyboard of an instrument. A great number of irregular nervous impulses are transferred to the central nervous system per unit of time and , as the consequence of  this , the fatigue of hand muscles is considerably  increased (Berosov, Korovkin1990). An amplitude of muscle tension is directly dependent on the frequency of innervation, where each subsequent nervous impulse coincides with the phase of increased excitability of the muscle ( Green, Stout,Taylor 1990 ). At the level of the synaptic terminal  we can see untimely synthesis of the neurotransmitter, deep and stable depolarization of  the postsynaptic membrane and,as a result,the convulsive reflexes are thus formed.An important neurophysiological moment has been marked : within a short time interval the contracture , that is , constantly high muscular tension is formed, which in turn , is harmfully reflected on the content and character of  the melody.
       In  practice , using  the method of the digital key, the child connects the definition of digital melody  to the system of  dimension  which is  written down  in the form of an integral construction  both on x – the horizontal  and on y – the vertical . Reading the digital  information  the  trajectory of  eyeballs’ movements on y– the vertical  is projected  to the exact determinant  ( digit ,sign, symbol ), the  trajectory of  eyeballs’ movements on x – the horizontal  is projected  in one direction, forward. In the given system of dimension the  integration of the digital information proceeds instantly, its realization on an instrument proceeds in reflexive time - ratio. The paradoxical phenomenon is revealed : the time interval  between the moment of perception of  the digital information  and the moment of the hands’ response on the keyboard of an instrument, is contracted to the minimum .We achieve a reduction of  load on hand muscles at the expense of decreasing of an amplitude between muscle tension and the resulting movement and, consequently , the time intervals between effort and accuracy of  pressing of a key are considerably shortened .At the level of the synaptic terminal we can see an allocation of neurotransmitter  directly  proportionally to the frequency of generated impulses by neurons and , as a result , the coordinated reflexes are thus formed. An  important  neurophysiological  moment  has been marked : the reciprocal  muscular  innervation is formed , that is, the rational distribution of  the manual  technique on  the keyboard of  an instrument, which in turn, is considerably reflected on the content and character of the melody. Grain of  truth lies  in the fact that at the expense of  perception of melody by means of digits its realization becomes  faster and  easier, which in turn , is positively reflected on the psychoemotional status of the child and  enables him to dynamically realize the potential music abilities in psychosomatic action as a result .

Throughout  many centuries, the musical structure has had  numerous modifications. We can observe the constant use of  digits  for convenience of  notation of  the music  sounds,  for example : digital organ bass, lute tablatures, guitar  jazz  ciphers. At nowadays the digital system of  music teaching  is absent  in  curriculum  and  is not applied   in practice because of  teacher's  insufficient professional knowledge in the sphere of  child's neurophysiology . The findings of our scientific investigations have permit  us to understand  the most delicate mechanisms of child’s mental activity  and  to detect  new creative abilities.Application of  the  information technologies  will  help schoolmasters  to improve the quality, speed  and efficiency of  music teaching  for beginners. The scientific methods    “Digital Music Grammar“  and  “ Algorithm of  Microcycles “ are dedicated  to children  on  the development  their  intellectual  and creative abilities.
