Digital technologies as a means of developing the creative activity of future music teachers

Abstract

The relevance of using digital technologies to develop the creative activity of future teachers of music is due to the intensive digitalization of education and the need to modernize the professional training of teachers. The integration of innovative technologies updates classical approaches to music education and makes classes interactive, and therefore a modern school needs teacher who are fluent in the functionality of digital audio stations, multimedia platforms and artificial intelligence tools. The purpose of the study is to in-depth study of the potential of modern digital technologies for the development of the creative activity of future teachers of music. The article identifies the main competencies of a modern teacher of music against the background of the general digitalization of the educational environment, including musical-computer, information-digital and methodological competencies. Priority areas of technology use are considered, in particular, digital audio workstations that develop sound engineering and composition skills, musical score editors for quickly creating scores and editing musical material, artificial intelligence-based tools for generating ideas, cloud services for accessing global sound libraries and orchestral banks, which contributes to the implementation of creative projects. Based on the analysis of the functions of digital technologies in the formation of professional skills of education seekers, key methodological approaches to the practical use of innovative tools for the development of creative activity, increasing the efficiency of the educational process and forming readiness for the challenges of the modern educational field are substantiated. It was found that electronic services and virtual studios expand the boundaries of self-expression, transforming routine learning into creative search, while allowing the pace and content of creative tasks to be adapted to the personal needs of each student. Such an approach will contribute to the formation of readiness of education seekers to use modern gadgets and software in future lessons at school.
