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
2. 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 .Entire

A b s t r a c t
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 the curriculum and is not applied in practice
because of teacher's insufficient professional knowledge in the sphere of
child's neurophysiology .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.
We consider , at initial stage to play piano, a child ought to know the
Digits. Applying the 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 perssing a key and it means, he
excludes the 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.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.
