Abstract

Using technology in a creative-based approach to music learning is beneficial when we refer to the development of creativity as the finality of artistic musical education. In its permanent movement, we notice that the educational process progressively removes everything that becomes dysfunctional outdated. Therefore, both through the act of teaching learning and through the act of evaluation, as the blockages of any nature that stand in the way of creativity are discovered, they can be diminished. This article proposes musical activities that use Reaper software, which provides a good environment for grooming students with aesthetic sensibilities that should always accompany technical knowledge. Moreover, this article serves as a starting point for teachers hoping to develop creativity through music software.

Rezumat. PROPUNERE DE ACTIVITĂȚI CE UTILIZEAZĂ SOFTWARE-UL REAPER, ÎN VEDEREA DEZVOLTĂRII CREATIVITĂȚII. Utilizarea tehnologiei într-o abordare creativă a învățării muzicii este benefică, atunci când ne referim la dezvoltarea creativității ca finalitate a educației artistico-muzicale. În mișcarea sa permanentă, observăm că procesul educațional elimină progresiv tot ceea ce devine disfuncțional, depășit. Prin urmare, atât prin actul de predare-învățare, cât și prin actul evaluării, pe măsură ce se descoperă blocajele de orice natură care stau în calea creativității, acestea pot fi diminuate. Acest articol propune activități muzicale care utilizează software-ul Reaper, acesta oferind un mediu bun pentru încurajarea studenților în a dezvolta atitudini estetice, care ar trebui să însoțească întotdeauna cunoștințele tehnice. De asemenea, acest articol servește ca punct de plecare pentru profesorii care încearcă să dezvolte creativitatea prin intermediul software-urilor muzicale.

Cuvinte cheie: Reaper, software, creativitate, educație muzicală.
