Research on training system for basic abilities in music by using IC recorder and midi-piano

在以成就测验为分数来衡量能力的领域，国际上已经进行了一些比较研究。另一方面，在音乐领域，衡量音乐技术能力的挑战很少。对于像算术计算和汉字书写课程这样的重复性学习来说，似乎幼年的天赋能力和训练史可能不会产生根本的影响。然而，以完美音高的人为代表，人们认为音乐的基本能力在很大程度上会受到天赋和早年训练时机的影响。但我们认为，在小学和初中的任何阶段，都可以通过日常训练系统来培养一些基本的音乐能力，如音乐听写。本研究旨在开发一套中小学音乐教师基本音乐能力培养体系，使中小学音乐教师能够培养基础…给孩子更多的音乐能力，独立于他们的音乐天赋。在这个项目的第一年，我们对儿童在培训前的能力进行了实地调查，并着手开发了一个软件工具--ACCODS诊断测试。同时，我们对日本音乐教育的结构和存在的问题进行了调查，并提出了自己的看法。在第二年，我们通过对原型《协和诊断试验》的使用和改进，开发了一套名为《HARD？用一架迷你钢琴。我们将该工具应用于大学附属小学五年级的儿童，并进行了数据采集。同时，对教育学院及其附属学校的教学辅助方法进行了调查，并对音乐人才培养活动进行了调查。在过去的一年里，我们在第二年获得的数据的基础上，开发了一种带有IC记录器的培训材料。利用这些材料，每天的强化课程被应用到每个孩子身上。也应该考虑到校外活动的影响。统计数据显示，几乎所有受过训练的儿童在和谐听力方面都表现出了一定的成就，而且这种方法极大地激发了他们对音乐的兴趣，这可能表明我们的方法是成功的。较少

In the fields where abilities can be measured with achievement test as scores, some comparative researches have been conducted internationally. On the other hand, in the field of music, there have a small number of challenges for measuring the technical abilities in music. For repetitive learning such as arithmetic calculation and Chinese letter scripting lessons, it seems that the inborn gift abilities and training history in early ages may not affect in an essential way. However, as represented by perfect-pitch persons, it has been considered that basic abilities in music will be affected essentially by talents and the timing of training in early ages. But we consider that some basic abilities in music such as music dictation may be cultivated at any stage in elementary school and junior high school by daily training system. This research aimed at developing a training system for basic music abilities with which music teachers in elementary and junior high schools can cultivate basic … More music abilities to children independent of their musical talents. At the first year of this project, we performed a field survey of the abilities of the children before training and stared to develop a software tool "diagnosis test for accords". Simultaneously, we have investigated the structures and problems in Japanese music education and suggested perspectives. In the second year, by using and improving the prototype "diagnosis test for accords", we developed a CAI teaching material named "Hear?" with a midi-piano. We applied and tested this tool to the fifth grade children at the university-affiliated elementary school for data acquisition. In parallel, we investigated teaching assisting methods at the faculty of education and its affiliated schools and surveyed the activities of music talent education. In the last year, we have developed a training material with IC recorder based on the data we obtained in the second year. With this material, daily intensive lessons were applied to each child. Effects from activities of outside school should also be put in mind. Statistics revealed that almost all trained children have shown some achievements in accord listening ability, and their interests in music were very encouraged by this method, which may show that our approach is successful.
