The basis of piano repertoire for beginners, as it is well-known, is in many ways comprised of song material. Its exposition in piano texture (on two staves) frequently complicates the adequate perception of the melody ostensibly, which not infrequently leads to a distortion of semantic perception during the process of playing it. The methodological elaborations of the new trends in teaching music contain written and oral assignments on rewriting the music notated on two-staves into a one-staff line meant for vocal performance, as well as on the transformation of the one-line melody into two-staff notation for the goal of playing it with two hands on the piano. Such a form of tutorial assignments builds in the future musician coherent perceptions of the structure of the melody and the peculiarities of its musical notation in various performance-related contexts. This methodic elaboration is designed for the elementary classes of Children’s Music Schools and provides the first step along the path of formation among the pupils of an integrated perception of the musical text and achievement of the foundations for its revision and transcription.
