A few words about the a vista game

A few words about the a vista play ...

A vista play develops many skills, such as hearing, memory, sense of rhythm, attention, musical imagination, motor readiness and many others. The ability to play a vista affects not only the speed of reading the score, but also the development of the player, the perception of music and the ease of learning and understanding the musical text.

The experience and practice of many teachers show that everyone can learn to read notes correctly and fluently, and the basics of this skill should be taught from an early age. Some educators believe that in order to play a vista well, you just have to play the notes as much as possible. However, it often happens that a student reaching for new literature is unable to identify its difficulties. As a result, he tries to play a vista and gets discouraged pretty quickly. In order for such a game to bring any benefits, it must meet certain criteria. The most important of these is to perform the exercises or songs with full commitment, as during a concert. It does not matter if the vista is played 8 bars or the whole song. Production should include all elements of a musical work at the highest level. To make this possible, the starting material should not be too complicated.

It is therefore worth paying more attention to this form of activity in educating young musicians. In an instrument lesson, there is often no time to work on a vista playing. The teacher is left to encourage the pupils to make such attempts at home.

The latest publication of the Cicadis Publishing House Gram a vista na guitar can be used both for independent work and as a didactic aid for the teacher.
