Abstract

This article refers to the issue of updating the content of the theoretical musical subjects of the Tbilisi State Conservatory (TSC), which is very important considering the accumulated knowledge in science in general, including musicology. When the subject of discussion is musical education and innovative methods of teaching, it is no less important to review and update the content of the study programs. The Course Programs themselves should also correspond to the new epochal challenges. It will be most effective to change the content of the theoretical subjects of the TSC by including multimedia genres in the syllabus of the Music History Course Program. Why did the issue of the need to update the training program arise? The COVID-19 pandemic turned out to be the biggest challenge for Art Higher education institutions, including TSC because it was impossible to hold ensemble, orchestra, and choir rehearsals online. Despite these difficulties, it was revealed that after the pandemic, the need for rapid integration into digital reality was highlighted and students were interested in completely renewing educational courses, and their content. In this context, the renewal of the music history course with Multimedia musical genres is of outstanding importance. These genres reflect the new perception of the world, which is relevant to the student's requirements. Multi-media hybrid musical genres are inherently interactive, informative, and relevant to the challenges of the modern era. It would be appropriate to start with Georgian examples. For example, this kind of Georgian multimedia music is Eka Chabashvili’s multimedia hybrid compositions. Thus, when we talk about the advancements of virtual reality and the future implementation of online learning in the educational process of TSC, updating the syllabuses of theoretical subjects, first of all with multimedia musical genres with their cross-disciplinary content, will provoke an unconscious influence on students for their better adaptation to virtual reality in the future.
