Book excerpt: Abstract: Sight-reading, the act of performing unfamiliar music at sight, is a valued measure of an instrumentalist's musical training and overall musicianship. Though sight-reading is recognized as an important ability, little is known about the process or how best to prepare students for sight-reading situations. Previous research has suggested the importance of rhythm, finding that most sight-reading errors are rhythm errors, and rhythmic ability is often a strong predictor of sight-reading accuracy. Related research has investigated a variety of approaches to rhythm instruction, including mathematical (numbers-based) approaches and speech cue (word-based) methods. Many studies have suggested that the latter approach may be more suitable to school-age musicians, especially younger students who may lack the conceptual understanding needed to grasp mathematical models. Other research has affirmed the importance of providing students with opportunities to respond individually and receive regular feedback from their instructor. The current study employed two parallel rhythmic instruction strategies in an effort to determine their impact on middle school band members' sight-reading performance. The control group reviewed rhythms using a previously-learned numerical counting system while a treatment group reviewed rhythms using an original speech cue method and performed individually at scheduled intervals. Sight-reading pretests and posttests were scored and compared to measure subjects' sight-reading accuracy. Results showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups on the sight-reading posttest. Mean scores for all subjects, regardless of treatment grouping, improved from pretest to posttest, including significant gains on pitch accuracy and total sight-reading scores. Additionally, important relationships were found regarding the interplay between pitch reading and rhythm reading during melodic sight-reading, suggesting that these processes present two separate and sometimes conflicting tasks. Overall results and an analysis of the scores of top sight-readers reaffirmed the importance of rhythmic ability in determining overall sight-reading accuracy.

This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth edition of Psychological Foundations of Musical Behavior appears at a time of continuing worldwide anxiety and turmoil. We have learned a lot about human musical behavior, and we have some understanding of how music can meet diverse human needs. In this exceptional new edition, the authors have elected to continue a “one volume” coverage of a broad array of topics, guided by three criteria: The text is comprehensive in its coverage of diverse areas comprising music psychology; it is comprehensible to the reader; and it is contemporary in its inclusion of information gathered in recent years. Chapter organization recognizes the traditional and more contemporary domains, with special emphases on psychoacoustics, musical preference, learning, and the psychological foundations of rhythm, melody, and harmony. Following the introductory preview chapter, the text examines diverse views of why people have music and considers music’s functions for individuals, its social values, and its importance as a cultural phenomenon. “Functional music” and music as a therapeutic tool is discussed, including descriptions and relationships involving psychoacoustical phenomena, giving considerable attention to perception, judgment, measurement, and physical and psychophysical events. Rhythmic behaviors and what is involved in producing and responding to rhythms are explored. The organization of horizontal and vertical pitch, tonality, scales, and value judgments, as well as related pedagogical issues are also considered. The basic aspects of musical performance, improvisation, composition, existing musical preferences and tastes, approaches to studying the affective response to music with particular emphasis on developments in psychological aesthetics are examined. The text closely relates the development and prediction of musical ability, music learning as a form of human learning, and music abnormalities, concluding with speculation regarding future research directions. The authors offer their latest review of aspects of human musical behavior with profound recognition of music’s enduring values.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Musicians' Internal Pulse and Rhythmic Sight-reading written by Alison Lauren Pogemiller Farley and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Playing music at first sight involves coordination of auditory, visual, spatial and kinesthetic systems to produce an accurate and musical performance (Hayward, 2009). Accurately performing pitch and rhythm in tandem has been observed to be difficult in a sight-reading task. Musicians' rhythm reading ability has been found to be the best predictor of sight-reading performance (Elliott, 1982). It may be conjectured that stable and consistent internal pulse is necessary to perform accurate rhythms. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between an individual's timekeeping ability and performance on rhythmic sight-reading tasks. Fifty-three wind, string or percussion instrumentalists participated in one rhythmic sight-reading and three timekeeping evaluations in two separate sessions. The sight-reading evaluation included rhythmic excerpts that increased in difficulty as participants performed the exercises out loud with a neutral spoken syllable. The timekeeping evaluations involved silently reading rhythms and keeping steady beat with and without visual notation while tapping at specified points. Absolute deviations from the target performance were analyzed in relation to performance on the sight-reading evaluation. Participants were also asked to report any specific strategies used in performing the rhythm reading or timekeeping tasks. There was no significant correlation between the sight-reading evaluation and tests of internal timekeeping. A significant correlation was found between tasks involving rhythm reading and tasks focusing on timekeeping. Analysis of strategies indicated no difference in accuracy between participants who employed strategies and those who did not. Supplementary analyses were completed to determine possible reasons for the dichotomy of rhythm reading and timekeeping. Results suggested that participants had difficulty maintaining tempo rather than misreading rhythms or placing taps at incorrect points. These data suggest that timekeeping and rhythm reading are two separate tasks. This contradicts the initial assumption that participants who perform well on rhythmic sight-reading examples would have strong time keeping ability.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a music sight-reading program would affect the language reading fluency levels and music sight-reading abilities of students enrolled in band in middle school. Music reading and language reading share similar visual and aural tasks that are part of the essential decoding process (Hansen, Bernstorf, & Stuber, 2007). The sight-reading process in both types of reading also requires similar eye movements and the use of structural units for fluency (Sloboda, 1985; Register, Darrow, Standley, & Swedberg, 2007). Researchers have found that sight-singing can impact language reading fluency levels, but there is minimal research on possible connections between instrumental sight-reading and language reading fluency (Biggs, Dedrick, & Homan, 2005, 2006). The current study was undertaken to determine the effect of a sight-reading program on language reading fluency and music sight-reading ability. Two intact middle school band classes were randomly assigned to function as the experimental group and the control group in this study. Florida Department of Education oral reading fluency exams and the Watkins-Farnum Performance Scale, Form A and B for sight-reading ability were administered to all students (N=55) at the beginning and end of data collection. The experimental group experienced a 14-week sight-reading program during the interim. Analysis of Covariance was used to check for differences between the groups' reading fluency and sight-reading posttest scores using pretest scores as the covariate. No significant difference was found between the oral reading fluency posttest, F (1, 28) = .16, p = .69, scores of the control and experimental groups. No significant difference was found between the music sight-reading posttest level scores, F (1, 45) = 1.78, p = .19, of the experimental and control groups. A significant, positive correlation ( r = .61, p = .000) was found between the oral reading fluency and music sight-reading posttest scores of all participants.

This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sight-reading is one way for middle school band students to demonstrate musicianship. If the students are very good at sight-reading, then the level of musicianship is high. The researcher has created an organized module addressing methods of how to teach middle school band students to sight-read effectively. A working definition of sight-reading is playing a work of music accurately the first time it is seen by a performer. At the middle school level, performers must be able to play a steady beat, play accurate rhythms, demonstrate correct eye movements, and recognize patterns of notes to be an effective sight-reader. The students in this study were exposed to activities and lessons that addressed these four aspects of sight-reading. After the study was concluded, the researcher determined that the sight-reading abilities of the students increased. The students became aware of the skills necessary to be effective sight-readers. The most effective lesson of this study was the rhythm lesson. The least effective lesson was the eye movement lesson. The rhythm lesson allowed the students to become familiar with common rhythms, increasing their abilities to perform

Download or read book The New Handbook of Research on Music Teaching and Learning written by Music Educators National Conference (U.S.) and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-18 with total page 1249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring chapters by the world's foremost scholars in music education and cognition, this handbook is a convenient collection of current research on music teaching and learning. This comprehensive work includes sections on arts advocacy, music and medicine, teacher education, and studio instruction, among other subjects, making it an essential reference for music education programs. The original Handbook of Research on Music Teaching and Learning, published in 1992 with the sponsorship of the Music Educators National Conference (MENC), was hailed as "a welcome addition to the literature on music education because it serves to provide definition and unity to a broad and complex field" (Choice). This new companion volume, again with the sponsorship of MENC, explores the significant changes in music and arts education that have taken place in the last decade. Notably, several chapters now incorporate insights from other fields to shed light on multi-cultural music education, gender issues in music education, and non-musical outcomes of music education. Other chapters offer practical information on maintaining musicians' health, training music teachers, and evaluating music education programs. Philosophical issues, such as musical cognition, the philosophy of research theory, curriculum, and educating musically, are also explored in relationship to policy issues. In addition to surveying the literature, each chapter considers the significance of the research and provides suggestions for future study.Covering a broad range of topics and addressing the issues of music education at all age levels, from early childhood to motivation and self-regulation, this handbook is an invaluable resource for music teachers, researchers, and scholars.
