Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects a child’s brain development and the processing of information. It is characterised by a deficit in social communication, restrictive and repetitive behaviours, social and occupational impairments, and other areas of functioning. The contribution focuses on the development of social and communication skills, sensory perception, and the development of attention and imagination in children with ASD. The objective of contribution is a general overview of evidence-based therapies with the potency to development of social skills and communication in children with ASD. We used the method of analysis and synthesis of relevant research and practice in therapeutic environments. There is a growing interest in non-pharmacological based interventions, using auditory and sensory integration practices, in the treatment of ASD. The proper care for a child with ASD includes the cooperation of a multidisciplinary team of experts in health departments (a child psychiatrist or a paediatric psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, clinical speech therapist, therapeutic pedagogue) supplemented by multiprofessional cooperation with experts as educators and psychologists. Therapies have an important place in the health care of children with ASD. They offer therapeutic procedures which expand the focus on the development of social interaction, communication, emotional development, behaviour modification, and sensory integration. They can alleviate ASD symptoms and include behavioural interventions, interventions aimed at speech and sensory integration.

Title: HEUTAGOGY IN THE 18TH CENTURY: TELEMANN’S MUSICAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH NON-FORMAL EDUCATION
Author(s): Rossella Marisi
Affiliation(s): Professor PhD., Conservatorio “Luisa D’Annunzio”, Pescara, Italy
Abstract: In his youth, Georg Philipp Telemann was dissatisfied with formal music education but eager to explore music and its surrounding culture as much as possible. He took it upon himself to become an independent learner, engaging in non-formal education. He seized every opportunity offered by the vibrant musical life of 18th-century Germany, from sacred music in churches and concerts in various cities to commentary and analysis of compositions in music journals, as well as exposure to popular music in many settings, eventually evolving into a prominent Baroque-era composer and skilled instrumentalist. An early embodiment of heutagogy, Telemann demonstrated the versatility of his learning in the “mixed taste” style that especially characterizes his Fantasias.
Key words: non-formal education, 18th-century musical life, heutagogy, diverse musical styles, self-directed development

Title: COMPARATIVE INTERPRETATIVE ANALYSIS - RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FORMAL AND INFORMAL IN MUSICAL - INSTRUMENTAL EDUCATION; A MODEL OF COMPARATIVE PARALLEL: "CHACONNE" FOR SOLO VIOLIN BY JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH IN THE VERSIONS OF THE VIOLINISTS JASCHA HEIFETZ AND AUGUSTIN HADELICH
Author(s): Alina Stanciu
Affiliation(s): Associate Professor PhD., “Gheorghe Dima” National Academy of Music, Cluj-Napoca, România
Abstract: In instrumental education, the correlation between formal and informal education by means of comparative interpretive analysis is necessary both in the development of the instrumentalist's personality and in the acquisition of a musical experience appropriate to the complex performer. This paper proposes to violin students, a comparative parallel model of the "Chaconne" for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach in two reference versions. Developed according to an analytical matrix whose guiding milestones are objectively flexible, the analytical approach is based on the interpenetration of formal and informal.

Title: SOLUTIONS FOR THE CONDUCTING APPROACH OF MADRIGAL TARA FRUMOASA BY DAN BUCIU
Author(s): Marta Otilia Burduloi
Affiliation(s): Lecturer PhD.,”George Enescu” National University of Arts, Iași, România
Abstract: Connected to the evolution of compositional techniques, activated by the coagulation of the local music school and the development of professional choral art, the choral creation reflects all the stages of stylistic configuration of the Romanian academic music. Dedicated promoter of modalism, both in theories related to specific constructions, but also in his compositions, Dan Buciu experimented in the versatile space of the modes in a permanent connection to the compositional directions of modernism and postmodernism, but always aware of his belonging to the Romanian school of composition, through perpetual reporting to folklore and Orthodox psaltic music. The madrigal Tara frumoasa is a sample drawn from the miniature choral creation of Dan Buciu, which offers the conductor the challenge to discover precise, eloquent means of approach, adapted to innovations at the language level, to express the ethos of the modes, to exploit new sounds, to convey profound ideas through a pre-classical genre in a updated sound and timbral vision.

Author(s): Sebastian Vîrtosu
Affiliation(s): Associate Professor PhD. hab., “George Enescu” National University of Arts, Iaşi, România
Abstract: Composed in 1966, Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 11, Op. 122, is dedicated to the memory of Vasily Shirinsky, the second violinist of the Beethoven Quartet, who passed away in 1965. The premiere occurred on March 28, 1966, at the Glinka Hall in Leningrad, performed by the Beethoven Quartet with Nikolai Zabavnikov on second violin. Quartets No. 11 through No. 14 are collectively known as the “Quartet of Quartets,” each dedicated to a member of the Beethoven Quartet. With Quartet No. 11, Shostakovich embarks on a new compositional chapter, showcasing his relentless pursuit of novel expressive means. While not an innovator per se, he was a masterful architect and builder of sonic structures.

Abstract: For three centuries, the opera series presented on the stages of musical theaters various subjects with noble characters (kings, queens, princes, princesses), passionate loves, battles between state rations, the sense of duty, while servants and peasants found their place only in opera buffa. With Verdi's La Traviata (1853) something began to change when the composer brought the courtesan Violetta Valery and her drama to the center of the opera's action. But the decisive turning point is Bizet's Carmen (1875), which assigns the main role to a gypsy woman, a worker in a cigarette factory, a smuggler, who practices and recommends the freedom of life and love, capable of defying even death for she stays true to her questionable lifestyle. Soon, the verist school, or the new school, will appear in Italy, made up of a group of young composers: Mascagni, Leoncavallo, Giordano, Cilea, Puccini, very different from each other in formation, style and personality, but on which united his firm desire to revolutionize and renew the work in a realistic sense.

Abstract: The study aims to validate a patented set of technical exercises, designed to improve the emotional state and attention levels of violinists for improved performance. The proposed exercises will provide real support to violinists who, like other instrumentalists, constantly face a state of chronic fatigue that can sometimes lead to physical and mental exhaustion, commonly known as burnout. The present research investigates variables such as positive and negative dispositions, positive and negative emotions, fatigue, calmness, attention, and energy levels of violinists before and after performing the proposed set of exercises. It also assesses the evolution of electrodermal response associated with attention level during the execution of the proposed exercises.

Author(s): David Crescenzi
Affiliation(s): Conductor, Romanian National Opera, Iași, Associate Professor PhD., “Gheorghe Dima” National Academy of Music, Cluj - Napoca, România
Abstract: For Italian culture, and not only, the 18th century was one of reforms in musical theatre, which were manifested from the very first years, when composers began to abandon complicated plots and the connections between tragic moments and comics, specific to the librettos of the previous century. The simplified stage action thus becomes more believable and as a consequence of the evolution and reform of the opera series, a new type of show is taking shape, based exclusively on comic situations and characters: the opera buffa. So, the 18th century is not only the century of opera series, but also of the affirmation of opera buffa.

Title: WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART - SONATA FOR PIANO AND VIOLIN, K. 378, IN B FLAT MAJOR
Author(s): Raluca Dobre Ioniță
Affiliation(s): Associate Professor PhD., “George Enescu” National University of Arts, Iaşi, România
Abstract: From a musical and historical point of view, Classicism represents the orientation of the second half of the 18th century and the first decades of the 19th century, which is characterized by clarity, balance, sense of proportion and moderate spirit. The most concise definition of this term translates both into the idea of satisfying the highest demands of the taste of a certain public and into the concept of antiquity of the antinomy between classic and modern. The sonata for piano and violin in B-flat major, K. 378, is considered by the renowned musicologist Alfred Einstein to be the first important mozartian opus for the repertoire dedicated to the violin-piano couple.

Title: PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HARMONY: A FOUNDATION FOR A SUCCESSFUL INSTRUMENTAL CAREER
Author(s): Ligia Fărcășel
Affiliation(s): Researcher III PhD., “George Enescu” National University of Arts, Iaşi, România
Abstract: From an outside perspective, an instrumentalist presents a polished, complex, and fulfilled image, perhaps even an inspiring one. However, a closer look reveals that a performer's life must adhere to certain principles without which the public outcome will fall short of expectations. An instrumentalist requires both mental and physical strength. Their work is fundamentally motoric, making daily attention to physical care indispensable, including rest, nutrition, and exercise. Additionally, to fully leverage professional opportunities, instrumentalists must cultivate healthy and effective social and professional relationships, underscoring the importance of social intelligence. Thus, in achieving the ultimate outcome, physical and mental harmony come together successfully.

Abstract: Art education plays a fundamental role in the development of cognitive, emotional, and aesthetic abilities, contributing to a well-rounded formation that is sensitive to cultural diversity. This article explores the specificities of art education within formal, nonformal, and informal systems, analyzing the contribution of each type of education to the development of artistic and cultural competencies among students. The aim is to highlight the differences and complementarities of these systems, emphasizing the importance of a multidimensional and accessible art education for all. The characteristics of art education within the formal system are specified, an organized and regulated space where art is an integral part of the educational curriculum. The focus is on the role of information and communication technologies in formal art education, which offer digital resources and multimedia platforms that enhance learning experiences. In this section, we also present a comparative analysis of art pedagogy based on international educational models, highlighting the differences between technique-centered approaches and those that promote creative freedom. Lastly, we discuss the importance of art teacher training, an essential component of the formal system that directly influences the quality of art education and students' ability to develop a well-defined aesthetic sense.

Abstract: Education, seen from a didactic perspective, takes many forms. Conventionally, the idea that education has three dimensions is accepted. The diversity of educational situations has required their systematization and the identification of the main hypostases or forms of education. Depending on the way education is organized, we distinguish: formal, non-formal and informal education. [Constantin Cucoș, (coord.), (2009), Psychopedagogy for final exams and didactic degrees, Polirom Publishing House, Iași, p.106.] As far as we are concerned, we will refer to two of them: formal education and non-formal education.

Author(s): Olha Kryvosheieva, Galina Lokareva
Affiliation(s): Candidate Doctoral, Professor PhD., Zaporizhzhya National University, Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine
Abstract: The aim of the article is to theoretically investigate the substantive characteristics of creative potential and to confirm that creative potential is a fundamental characteristic of the professional development of future actors. It is important for teachers to consider what students will begin studying and what they already have in their professional thesaurus. The analytical basis is a literary review of various studies in the fields of philosophy, psychology, and pedagogy. We have not found any scientific publications that present a definition of "actor’s creative potential." Additionally, there is no experimental data on the level of creative potential for future actors. It is our scientific assumption that some students, even those who have studied for one, two, or more years, have insufficient creative potential for future professional activity. The relevance of this issue becomes more significant given the tendency of decreased motivation among students to learn and to acquire basic academic skills. We conducted a diagnosis of the formation of students' internal creative environment (ICE) to confirm this hypothesis. The article describes how the research helped to reveal that creative potential is a fundamental characteristic that includes: attention, imagination, artistic stage perception, reactivity, and more. This was proven by experimental research.

Title: CONJUNCTURAL ALTERNATIVES IN CONTEMPORARY PEDAGOGY FOR THE THEATER
Author(s): Irina Scutariu
Affiliation(s): Associate Professor PhD. “George Enescu” National University of Arts, Iași, România
Abstract: The article is intended as a supposed creative and artistic ability after master's studies at vocational universities. The field of theater has, fortunately, many means of expression, from verbal to non-verbal, from artistic study and interpretation to scriptwriting and directing, and beyond. All of these skills are learned and honed during the undergraduate years, then honed during the master's years. But inventiveness is the attribute that must prevail. As an instructor, you also have to adapt to the new generations, to change your mentality, to intuit their needs, their problems without putting them under an interrogation. You must have flair and goodwill. You have to want them to listen to you, to take your advice. Our generation of students today seem to be more technical than empathetic, but that's not the rule. Through this article, we want to talk about an extension of the educational system that teaches us about what it means and how we can use our imagination to realize collaborative theater. It is a peculiarity of arts education that can be supported by systems that are not institutionalized, but for which there is a major interest.

Title: SET AND STAGE MOVEMENT IN ION BĂIEȘU’S THEATER
Author(s): Irina – Nicoleta Nechifor
Affiliation(s): Candidate Doctoral, ”Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University, Iaşi, România
Abstract: The plurivalent meanings of the dramatic text allow the transcendence of the textual and the interaction of the characters who populate the scene, allowing the representation of the meanings of the fictional universe on another level, imagistic and aural. In this context, the aim of this article is to replay the role of scenery and stage movement in Ion Băieșu’s work, an author who temporarily remained in the backstage of late 20th century theater. My intention is to reveal, first and foremost, the way in which the scenery supports the dynamics of dialog, offering another level of interpretation, constituting a new world against the background of which the story unfolds. First of all, the performance moves naturally forward amid the sinuosities of verbal interactions that verge on the grotesque and absurd, giving the director the possibility of giving the set elements various forms. The reader-spectator is not put in the position of decoding, but learns the lesson of reception as simply as possible, without this lessening the impact the display of meaning. Everything breathes decadence, ruin. It is a roller coaster of emotions that unravels the character, imprinting a laziness of living, of discovery. Examples are organized in a crescendo, from the monotony of a decadent universe, to the terrifying simplicity of others, which become the scene of atrocities: accidents or premeditated murder. Nowhere else is it so well this inclusion of the grotesque in the anguished and banal everyday. Factually, Băieșu's world is made up of gestures that are meant to be definitive, final, masterfully projected into apparently insignificant backgrounds. It is a tragic farce-comedy of the communist world in which the means of expression are but a world that does not lack tragedies.
But secondly, the stage movement is eminently allied to dull and bizarre, psychologically and mentally defining the distorted identities of some abulic individuals. The spectator is easily enlightened as to the nature of their experience and savoring every moment, following the chaotic, sometimes extremely slow, almost stagnant gestures. He seems to become a third actor who empathizes with the living situation, Băieșu reconstructing with humor and irony fragments of contemporary existence. The cuts are vivid and memorable, exhibiting not only a bitter taste of collective unhappiness, but also a sense of helplessness, coupled with the hope of possible moral and social rehabilitation. The exterior breathes the same domestic air and is an extension of the interior. Monotonous and dangerous, exterior spaces are repulsive to the truthful, they are populated by criminals, people with double identities, who wear, up to a point, the mask of bonhomie. The station platform or the tram station, the plain, the forest or the street itself become prototypes in which the object is confused with the human, in a game embedded in an insipid and improper nature. Therefore, this article-reflection aims to shed light on representations not of bitter but of an authentic scene in which the scenery and the movement are pertinent ways of affirming the spirit of the author's era.

Abstract: In Acting, what you teach is not a universal recipe, but a personal vision of theater that makes sense and works only for you. Practically, The Art of Acting is unique to each individual, although in theory the concept may seem the same for everyone. With this in mind, it is imperative that arts education is student-centered and not subject-centered, the goal of an Acting school is for each young artist to discover and develop their own artistic personality/individuality.

Abstract: The importance of physical exercises in the lives of young artists has been frequently discussed, both in conferences and articles, which shows that the benefits obtained have had a major impact on both the psycho-physical development of the body and the progress and stimulation of the artistic profession. In this study, a series of tests and a questionnaire were applied during the practical physical education course to 636 first-year students at the „George Enescu” National University of Arts in Iași. The results recorded the physical fitness level of young artist students and their desire to improve their physical condition. Additionally, based on the obtained results, the construction of a specialized general physical training program will be considered.
