Abstract
(type = abstract)
The purpose of this study was to compare the use of vocalization methods on students’ ability to detect tonal errors. More specifically, two approaches to teaching instrumental music were investigated, the use of a singing-based approach and use of an audiation-based approach. A secondary purpose of the study was to investigate if level of music aptitude affects error detection ability. Subjects consisted of 108 band students in fourth or fifth grade. Prior to the treatment period, subjects were administered the Intermediate Measures of Music Audiation (IMMA) to measure tonal musical aptitude and a researcher designed questionnaire to measure prior musical experience. Students were grouped homogenously by instrument and grade level. Each group was randomly assigned to either 1) a singing-based instruction group, 2) an audiation-based instruction group or 3) a control group. During the eight-week treatment period, subjects were taught songs by rote. The singing-based group became familiar with the songs by learning to audiate and sing them through a procedure outlined in the Jump Right In: Instrumental Series band method book. Students in the audiation-based group became familiar with the songs using the same procedure omitting the singing step. Students in the control group did not receive instruction that included audiation or singing. At the end of the treatment period, students were administered the Error Detection Test. Data was analyzed through a Nested ANCOVA using tonal aptitude as a covariate. No significant results were found regarding treatment and the ability to detect errors at the p <.05 level. However, significance was found (p = .021) in regards to level of tonal aptitude and ability to detect errors favoring subject’s with high tonal aptitude. Results of the study indicate that instruction which includes audiation is not an effective technique in developing error detection skills of elementary band students. It was also concluded that high tonal aptitude students were significantly better at detecting errors over medium and low tonal aptitude students.
