碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 音樂學系碩士班 === 103 === Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the case of elementary school choir conductor’s teaching beliefs as well as organization and training. The qualitative-oriented descriptive case study was adopted to study one high-performance elementary school choir conductor. Using single-case holistic design as analysis unit, through classroom observations, interviews and documents for data collection and analysis, this descriptive case study drew the following conclusions based on the research results:
First, the teaching philosophies of the subject teacher in this case study are as follows:
1). The teacher is glad to promote choir education, and is willing to pass on the wonderful choral experience. Through guidance, and through the process of building tradition, she believes that every teacher is able to attend to every student without exclusion.
2). The teacher makes a point of utilizing various repertoire to strengthen students’ basic music training without increasing the need of extra practice, as well as building up a selection of unique competition repertoire through thoughtful design and transcription.
3). The teacher believes in adopting the methods of diverse teaching and peer learning to help students interpret music, which also improves the precision of learning progress and efficiency.
4). The teacher holds that besides the individual learning situation and choral skills, choir directors should emphasize on compliance, gregariousness, and concentration in the students’ evaluation.
5). The teacher shows the compassion for both learning and teaching, who is not only very active in further studies, but also constantly reviewing the direction of one’s teaching approaches.
Second, the methods of the subject teacher in this case study on organizing an elementary-school children’s choir are as follows:
1). To provide diverse teaching approaches. Not only take into account of students’ timbre, intonation, but also focus on students’ learning inclination.
2). Admit more choir members than as required in the competition. Adjust choir members’ ratio among all voices according to the repertoire in order to reach the balance of both volume and timbre, especially emphasize on the lower voices as the base configuration of the choir.
3). Through diligent practice, gradually build up choir members’ ability. The aim would be to organically and naturally guide them to use their body as their own instruments.
4). Through competitions, performances, and school activities, along with the assistance from the school administration, to encourage and inspire the choir members, and to establish a harmonious relationship between teacher and students.
5). During every morning rehearsals, the practice drill should start from outward to inward, which means from body, vocal core, to sound sequence. These practice drills will help along the following repertoire learning.
6). Draw nutrients from the music. Lead the choir in cappella to reach a better understanding of “listening.” Through the training in “listening,” the choir members will realize the skills and connation in chorus.
7). Emphasize on the individual basis and then extend to the group learning. Use the methods of leading and imitation, from easy to complexity, gradually improving choir members’ perceptive sensibility
8). Work on the correct vocalizing, diction and music interpretation. Establish mutual understanding personally and musically.
Based on the research findings, this thesis provides fellow teachers and school-related personnel several proposed recommendations, and serves as a reference for further studies.
