Abstract

The mastering of polyphonic forms and means of expression in the piano class poses many difficult tasks for the teacher, where one of the main tasks is the education of polyphonic hearing and thinking. From the very first lessons in the general course class, the piano should get acquainted with all types of polyphonic writing, subvocal, contrasting, imitative, and master the elementary skills of performing two, and then three-voice polyphonic works of various genres. Mastering polyphonic works in the process of learning to play the piano is a complex and multi-stage process. Here the principle of gradual complication of pedagogical tasks is very important: from simple to complex.
