Abstract

The article considers the issues of professional preparation of blind performers in a specialized piano class. The authors specify three main stages, which acutely show the specifics of work with the blind performers: the stage of acquaintance with the music work, the stage of work with the music work, the stage of stage rehearsals and performance at the concert stage. The question of repertoire choice and the specifics of learning the notes by Louis Brail system, the role of combined listening with the teacher, and imaginary associations in order to form a complete image with a blind performer is particularly stressed. The necessity of focusing on the facture-tembre parts of the music fabric of the piece, the importance of much time for rehearsals is stressed. The authors show that it is quite realistic to prepare such kind of musicians for professional activity.
