Abstract

Attention, being a precondition for any cognitive process, has always been of the utmost importance for teachers. Teachers who work with musically gifted children also face problems with insufficient concentration, and an inability to listen attentively.

The research is based on conclusions about aural attention processes, the role of music parameters in the activation of the attention system’s functions, as well as the cognitive processing of acoustic information as a result of structured training. During the research a system of structures was created and it included two music parameters – pitch and rhythm. This system serves as a basis for its computerized model – the training program AUT.
