Abstract
The study aimed to quantitatively assess the effectiveness of a course that utilized music technologies for the development of musical giftedness in intellectually gifted students. Through the use of teacher surveys, 178 intellectually gifted students were selected to participate in the research. They were randomly assigned to an intervention group (N=89) and a control group (N=89). The intervention group underwent a ten-week course titled “I am a Sound Engineer,” which involved familiarization with digital workstations, music creation and editing on computers, and auditory music evaluation skills. Researchers assessed the musical giftedness of the students before and after the intervention. According to the results of the study, the course impacted students’ interest in music, perception of subtle musical tones, sensitivity to rhythm and various sounds, including background sounds. Practical recommendations for the education of musically gifted students are provided.
