Visual Feedback technologies for pitch amelioration of the singing voice in Greek Elementary school
Summary:
In this PhD dissertation we thoroughly examine the effectiveness of new methods for teaching and improving the singing voice of the students in the classroom using visual feedback software. We investigate how these can be included in the teaching process of singing in the elementary school and, more specifically, whether they can improve a specific feature, pitch accuracy.
After, considering the situation in the Greek elementary school classroom as well as the music course curricullum, we have selected two different types of songs for the experimental process concerning the implementation of the visual feedback software in the song’s teaching process. Τhe first song follows the well-tempered Western European musical system, and the other, the non well-tempered musical system of the Greek traditional music, (following the First Mode). Both songs are contained in the Analytical Elementary School’s Programme and specifically into the proposed “Anthology of Songs” for the Elementary school.
Our motivation for this research was similar published research using visual feedback software to adults and students abroad, that provided particularly encouraging results. In our case, we have approached differently the application of commercial software and the Fonaskin software (LabMat, T.M.S., E.K.P.A.), with an ultimate purpose of creating and implementing a documented teaching framework through which both the teacher and the student will “save” time and achieve better results having in their hands a powerful tool that is a strong motivation for the learning process.
The final purpose in this PhD dissertation is to highlight the effectiveness of vis-ual feedback software for the singing learning process in the classroom by helping the music teacher to achieve direct and qualitative results in learning a song by en-couraging and stimulating the student in this process in a more attractive and person-alized way in relation to the traditional teaching methods.
The conclusion after this experimental process is the proposal of a new digital educational platform for singing in the classroom, which will include visual feedback software containing both two different music systems (the well-tempered and also the non-well-tempered) and will also help for the deployment of other student’s singing voice characteristics with an interdisciplinary approach through the science of Music Acoustics, Phoniatrics, Pedagogy and Technology.
