The effect of ear-training with viola on instrument intonation
Ear-training with viola on instrument intonation
Abstract
This research was carried out to reveal the reflections of the ear training performed with viola on instrument deciphering in terms of intonation. The research was carried out with viola students studying at Afyon Kocatepe University State Conservatory. The research, which was planned as a study with a semi-trial model and a single group pattern, the data were collected through the pre-test and post-test developed by the researcher. A training plan was developed to be implemented in the research, and this training plan was applied to the study group for eight weeks, one hour a week. Quantitative data obtained from the pre-test and post-test were tabulated and interpreted descriptively. In addition to the experimental process in the research, students' views on their intonation status were taken with an open-ended question form and analyzed descriptively. As a result of the research, it was determined that the students successfully identified the sounds they heard from the viola and played sight-reading with the viola. In addition, it was determined in the study that training contributed to the motivation to study, the development of intonation awareness, listening skills, and auditory skills.
