Abstract

The introduction of modern technologies and hybrid education into piano playing is assessed as a method of improving performance and consolidating skills through a systematic analysis of results and self-monitoring of exercises. The article presents an approach where audiovisual materials, rhythm exercises, electronic class diaries and educational analysis components are integrated directly into the overall curriculum, focused on specific educational tasks (such as rhythm, speed of performance, intonation accuracy, pronunciation clarity), as well as knowledge assessment standards.

The study includes a hybrid methodology: quantitative data from a quasi-experiment with preliminary, follow-up, and control measurements are combined with a qualitative phase that includes conversations and analysis of educational materials. The quantitative data includes precise measurements of performance accuracy (difference in rhythm, tempo stability, number of sound inaccuracies) and evaluative judgments of experts regarding the musical qualities of the performance, including self-monitoring of the learning process.

The experimental group demonstrated the best performance in the field of rhythmic accuracy, steady tempo and minimization of altitude errors, supported by a noticeable retention of achievements in subsequent checks. An increase in the level of independence and internal motivation of students was found due to the well-organized analytical work of the teacher. It has been established that the success of introducing digital methods into piano teaching depends on the level of their methodological inclusion in the process of "goals – actions – analysis – correction" and independent mastering of the material.
