Abstract
The article focuses on the auditory perception of students with profound visual impairments.
The category of "perception" is considered in psychology as a process of reflection in the consciousness
of an integral sensual image of an object or phenomenon. In the musical-aural perception
of musicians with visual impairments, the subjective image of an object, phenomenon
or process directly affects the auditory analyzer, and in a latent form the system of motor and
tactile analyzers. Musical sound is understood as a pitch or noise sound, carrying the function
of a means of a specific semantic expression. The auditory sensations appear due to the effects
of periodic oscillations of sound waves on the auditory receptor. The shape of a sound wave's
oscillations is reflected in a specific quality — the timbre of sound.
When playing a musical instrument, the performer extracts a sound with a certain pitch,
dynamics, timbre and duration. The article emphasizes that the development of musical ear
of visually impaired musicians, as the ability to perceive and represent musical images, are
inextricably linked to the images of memory.
It is important that perceptual skills at the level of sensations and auditory perception are
formed and developed under the influence of living conditions, training and the requirements
of musical and practical activity.
