Development of musical knowledge using digital skills (10 min)

Technological improvement became a significant tool for learning new music repertoire. Performing and practicing possibilities are minimizing rhythmical deficiencies, so rehearsing of those pieces becomes more economic, more rational and easier. Playing music with alive human, despite all his disadvantages, is an irreplaceable experience in the formation of the artistic personality. Balance between technology and human nature is necessary, as in any other field of social life. At the University North, we started The Music and Media study program in 2021. We connected art and technology by adding new subjects to traditional disciplines, such as Computer Notography with the Basics of Musical Notation. We also started a project “Reconstruction and digitization of Miljenko Prohaska's musical legacy” that includes a reconstruction of the manuscript of Miljenko Prohaska's scores for the Big Band, which was donated by the artist's family to mr. Andrej Skender from Music School in Varaždin, also external associate of the Department of Music and Media at the University North. Digitization is performed as part of the teaching under the expert supervision of research leaders and associates from partner institutions. In the process, compositions are prepared for printing and public performance. --- Tehnološki napredak značajno je razvio alate za učenje novog glazbenog repertoara. Prilikom vježbanja i izvođenja skladbi ritmički nedostatci svode se na minimum, pa uvježbavanje tih djela postaje ekonomičnije, racionalnije i lakše. Muziciranje sa živim čovjekom, unatoč svim njegovim nedostacima, nezamjenjivo je iskustvo u formiranju umjetničke osobnosti. Neophodna je ravnoteža između tehnologije i ljudske prirode, kao i u svakom drugom području društvenog života. Na Sveučilištu Sjever 2021. pokrenuli smo studij Glazba i mediji. Povezali smo umjetnost i tehnologiju dodajući nove predmete tradicionalnim disciplinama, poput Računalne notografije s osnovama glazbenog pravopisa. Započeli smo i projekt „Rekonstrukcija i digitalizacija glazbene ostavštine Miljenka Prohaske“ koji uključuje rekonstrukciju rukopisa partitura Miljenka Prohaske za Big Band, koje je umjetnikova obitelj darovala mr. Andreju Skenderu iz Glazbene škole Varaždin. Digitalizacija se izvodi u sklopu nastave pod stručnim nadzorom voditelja i suradnika iz partnerskih institucija. Skladbe se pripremaju za tisak i javno izvođenje.
