Znaczenie muzyki w okresie prenatalnym

Author(s): Sonia Kędziora / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2012

Music in the prenatal period may play an important role for both a mother and Her child. Psychotherapeutic qualities of relaxing and calming down music are known. In pregnancy music may positively influence woman’s mental-physical condition, as well as facilitate making bonds between her and her child. Music also influences the featus that hears the music, reacts to it and remembers it when being born. This is the so called prenatal education. The concerts for pregnant women and infants are organized which perform both a therapeutic and educational function. A similar function is played by the so called “prenatal lullabies”, which constitute a collection of sounds heard by the child in the foetal period enriched with relaxing music. Using music during a delivery, on the other hand, lessens pain, improves woman’s mental-physical condition and decreases delivery trauma in children. American music therapists worked out specific procedures of using music in pregnancy and delivery.

Edukacja plastyczna – rozważania o wychowaniu ku sztuce.

Author(s): Urszula Szuścik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2012

The author shows aesthetic values from the perspective of general upbringing and educational assumption. She pays attention to a cultural aspect of the aesthetic education. The aesthetic values shape and change depending on the quality of their reception, which is influenced by the level of an individual development, the conditions of its life and aesthetic awareness in an educational system. The principles of aesthetic education formulated by Stefan Szuman, i.e. availability, popularization and accessibility of art that were important in the social aesthetic education were referred to. Currently, in the era of the globalization of values, including aesthetic values, a special role is ascribed to the teacher who teaches how to judge social and artistic phenomena of young people. The teacher should be characterized by an axiological maturity, which allows for shaping critical, independent, reflective and creative attitudes in students. Educating towards art changes its shape because the system of values changes, but the main idea of the aesthetic education and education in art direction, the aim of which is developing an integrated person of the learner sensitive to the problems of the world, people and their artistic products should still be remembered about.

Wybrane aspekty kreatywności podczas interpretacji utworów muzycznych

Author(s): Mirosław Dymon / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2012

The article discusses various aspects of creative activity during a preparation and interpretation of music works. On the basis of the theory of creative interaction by E. Nęcka (1987), the author made an analysis of a creative process to be observed in musicians, adapting the main assumptions of the theory for the purposes of explaining work on a given music work. The model presented, also taking into account the evaluation criteria of the interpretation of music works, is, according to the author of the article, a correct and accurate choice. There are few recipes in instrumental teaching on the basis of which one can formulate general directives concerning the actual work on the preparation and interpretation of music works. It seems that the theory of creative interaction gives such a possibility.

Folklor dziecięcy

Author(s): Irena Burczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2012

Child folklore is the area of folklore composed of word, word-music, visual and graphic products. The author of the article deals with the issue of child folklore, treating it from a start the notion created for children and by children. Thus, a child is presented here as a conscious fun creator through getting to know manipulative games aiming at learning the body, the activities, the circle of the closest relatives, childhood singing repertoire, namely lullabies and traditional-mimetic forms. Child folklore also covers child products being an adaptation of the elements of adult culture. Microforms, such as counting-outs, rhymes, “language twisters” focused on semantics or phony play an important role. Child mental-physical specificity determines the features of creativity, i.e. memorization, existence in performance, syncretism, openness and occasional nature. Songs are accompanied by movement, and a drama, not a choreographic arrangement.

Improwizacja — sztuka spontaniczna

Author(s): Tomasz Orlow / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2012

An art of improvisation in music usually constitutes an interesting creative discipline. As a process definitely unrecognised, it combines an intellectual and irrational sphere. Improvisation activity can be observed most often in the case of the biggest personages inscribed into the history of music for ever. It proves an incredibly high level of topic difficulty remaining a specific form of composition. The analysis of the processes taking place during an act of improvisation provides interesting conclusions covering both theoretical, technical, as well as performing and interpretative issues. Improvisation should be understood as a type of composition in which the time of its creation is shortened to the minimum. An improvisator is a composer and performer of the work simultaneously. It means that he/she is totally responsible for the final version of the composition. Improvisation requires from the musician an indispensable technical support. Even the greatest composing personages will not be successful at improvisation if they do not have a good instrumental technique. An art of improvisation should be perceived as the most refined and advanced reflection of an artistic individualism of the author. It constitutes one of the most interesting musical activities nowadays.
