PERCEPTION OF MUSIC BY HELP OF OTHER ARTS

It is known that a person perceives most of the information in a visual way. This means that the sensory culture of vision is richer, more fully developed than that of other senses. It is known that a human as a social individual uses daily and effectively develops verbal communication with other people. This means that the word with all the information it carries, including emotional, is easily understandable by all who speak the same language. Both types of receiving signals are most worked out and developed the most versatile and rich in every person, and information obtained in these ways is the most detailed, varied, including subtle emotional nuances, easily understandable and perceived most accurately, with the least distortions, as it is invariably needed in everyday human activities and therefore its perception and processing is constantly trained and developed. The non-verbal information that one receives by hearing also has a place in everyday practice, but its volume is not as large as that of information obtained by sight, nor is it so significant and as often used as the communication perceived through speech communication. All these facts warrant claiming that the processed non-verbal hearing information is also not as complete as the visual and the speech. A type of organized non-verbal sound signals is also the music that one perceives. However, as is clear, musical perception is not as versatile and complete as the perception of works of fine (visual perception) and verbal arts (speech perception). This makes it possible to assert that in order to become richer and more precise, the perception of a musical work can be supported by the perception of works of these arts which have a similar character to that of the musical piece that is listened.This idea is an important part of Prof. Penka Mincheva's system for enriching and refining the musical perception of students from the general education school in Bulgaria through combining the perception of a musical work with the perception of suitable works of other arts. This idea is widely used in the textbooks on music of our authors' team under the guidance of Prof. Penka Mincheva [7 - 15]. With various specific tasks in music textbooks throughout the training course, while listening to tonal works are displayed paintings, drawings, photographs, interpreted and composed poems, students paint their own impressions of the sounded music. It is also planned to introduce the adolescents from the 3rd to the 7th grades with works of the musical-stage genres, through which it is fulfilled an integrative connection with more types of arts. The combination of the perception of music with a display of works of other arts, made in the textbooks on music for the 1-7 grade [7 - 15], I am examining in this study, by reference to specific examples.The result of the combined perception of works of various arts is not only enriching the impressions of the particular perceived musical work, but also a longer-term:- Gradual development of the skills to experience the listened music, to reveal its character, to track not only the brightest but also the most delicate changes in this character in the course of musical act;- Education of the style sense, respect, understanding and love to the valuable musical art.Naturally, this approach, with the vivid impressions created during its implementation, has a beneficial effect on the more reliable memorization of the main subjects of the auditioned samples of tonal art. Thus, the musical culture of the young people is also increased.
