Book excerpt: This study applied Smith's theory in general reading comprehension to music sight reading fluency and comprehension in instrumental music performers. The study tested the proposition that students taught memory recall, eye movement as an aid to chunking, and the predictive structures of melody will learn to incorporate these strategies into the music reading process. In order to test this theory, fifty-nine 7th through 12th-grade flute students were given instruction in aid to chunking and melodic predicting in four 50-minute lessons over a two week period. The study used a 2 x 2 factorial experimental design. Subjects were pretested with the Watkins-Farnum Performance Scale, form A and classified into two categories: more-skilled and less-skilled music readers. Subjects were then randomly stratified into two instructional treatment groups: (1) Aid to Chunking plus Melodic Predicting, and (2) Melodic Predicting Alone. Aid to Chunking instruction consisted of exercises in memory recall and eye movement using a tachistoscopic technique. Melodic predicting instruction used a modified cloze method. Four main structural components were emphasized in melodic predicting: (1) phrasing and tonality; (2) melodic contour; (3) melodic and rhythmic patterning; and (4) modulation. A sight reading posttest was given on the Watkins-Farnum Performance Scale, Form B as a measure of music reading comprehension and sight reading improvement. Instructional modules for aid to chunking and melodic predicting are included, as well as a melodic predicting posttest, related sight reading exercises, and a pre-performance guide as an adjunct to sight reading. Results indicated: (1) melodic predicting and music reading comprehension are highly correlated; (2) the overall treatment effect of aid to chunking on sight reading improvement was not supported; and (3) a very large readability interaction effect between melodic predicting and music reading comprehension was found. Further findings indicate: (1) the aid to chunking effect was highly significant for less-skilled music readers; and (2) melodic predicting was most effective for more-skilled readers.

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 2004 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sight reading is a functional skill that is necessary for learning new pieces, chamber music and accompaniment. This study tried a new theoretical approach and was based on a combination of expertise and neuro psychological approaches. A large number of independent variables that fit into the different categories of elementary cognitive skills, general cognitive skills and expertise were used. The division of memory into working and short-term memory, and then the division of short-term memory into music-specific and non-music-specific, was a unique point of this study. Another worthy contribution of this study was the division of sight reading stimuli into five different levels of complexity, which meant that a controlled variation of conditions were implemented in the dependent variable. A crucial point of this study was the use of an objective method of analysing the sight reading performances and having an approach which was cautious and conservative towards data analysis. Another important characteristic of this study was the division of the expertise by age. This paved the way to examine the role of expertise in detail, which had never been done before. From the results of this study, sight reading seems to be a complex combination of skills which consists not only of expertise, but also of cognitive skills and psychomotor optimisation and contributes to the formation of a theory of sight reading with educational consequences. As a further result, it could be shown that the impact of this set of predictors varies with changing task difficulty, and analyses resulted in a dynamic model of predictor variables for each task level.

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 Bassoon Sight Reading written by John Kember and published by Schott Music. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sight-reading is an important aspect of making music and should in some form become a regular part of a student's routine each time they play their instrument. Regular sight-reading helps the pupil to gain greater confidence when approaching any new piece of music for the first time. Schott's Sight-Reading books aims to establish the habit early in every student's learning process and the emphasis is on providing idiomatic tunes and structures for the specific instruments rather than sterile sight-reading exercises. Starting from very easy pieces with familiar shapes and rhythms, the range of notes, keys and rhythms gradually develops. In addition to this, each section of the books concludes with duets and accompanied pieces allowing the student to gain experience of sight-reading within the context of ensemble playing. Accompaniment exercises can be found at the end of the piano books.
