Kestääkö ääni? : laulunopetuksen vaikutus opettajaksi valmistuvien äänen laatuun ja ilmaisuun

2017

The aim of this study was to investigate how regular singing lessons and deliberate practice impact future teachers’ voice quality and their expression in speech and singing. Previous research about teachers’ speaking voice has shown that kindergarten teachers and classroom teachers are at high risk of showing symptoms or developing disorders, which weaken their effectiveness of expression. The study is qualitative and experimental and it includes longitudinal vocal education, which lasted one academic year. This thesis was approached theoretically through existential phenomenology with a holistic conception of man. Data was gathered from eleven subjects and divided into three research grou…

Even violins can cry: specifically vocal emotional behaviours also drive the perception of emotions in non-vocal music.

2021

A wealth of theoretical and empirical arguments have suggested that music triggers emotional responses by resembling the inflections of expressive vocalizations, but have done so using low-level acoustic parameters (pitch, loudness, speed) that, in fact, may not be processed by the listener in reference to human voice. Here, we take the opportunity of the recent availability of computational models that allow the simulation of three specifically vocal emotional behaviours: smiling, vocal tremor and vocal roughness. When applied to musical material, we find that these three acoustic manipulations trigger emotional perceptions that are remarkably similar to those observed on speech and scream…

Efficacy of Live Lullaby Singing During Procedural Pain in Preterm and Term Neonates.

2017

 Abstract This clinical trial tested the pain relieving effect of live lullaby singing on behavioral and physiological pain responses during venepuncture in 38 preterm and full term neonates. Acute and repeated pain, as well as the use of analgesic drugs, may have long-term negative impact on infants’ development and future behaviour. This emphasizes the need for complementary approaches to pain management such as music therapy. Parent-preferred lullabies were performed live and standard care was provided for all neonates. Behavioral responses with regard to pain were assessed with Premature Infant Pain Profile-Revised (PIPP-R) and Behavioral Indicators of Infant Pain (BIIP). Heart rate, re…

Roentgenological observations on vocal fold length-changes with special reference to register transition and open/covered voice

1992

This paper examines the length-changes of the vocal folds as a function of voice pitch. Changes in normalized vocal fold elongation (strain) were measured indirectly from calcification points in several laryngeal structures from roentgenological exposures during singing. Changes in vocal fold strain are shown to occur mainly in the register transition area, i.e. the area within which all register changes take place. Changes in vocal fold strain appeared similar in male and female subjects. Evidence for different strain patterns in covered and open singing is presented for female subjects: Strain is higher in non-singers and (“incorrect”) open voice, lower in singers and (“correct”) covered …

Learning English through and for singing : learner experiences of the interrelation of music and language

2015

Kielen ja musiikin yhtäläisyydet ja eroavaisuudet ovat herättäneet mielenkiintoa viime vuosina niin neurotieteiden, psykologian, musiikkitieteiden, kuin kielitieteidenkin parissa. Koska kieli ja musiikki ovat molemmat kommunikaation välineitä, on luonnollisesti kiinnostavaa tutkia, millaisia yhtäläisyyksiä tai eroavaisuuksia niiden prosessoiminen sisältää. Näitä samankaltaisuuksia on sitten pyritty hyödyntämään useilla eri osa-alueilla, yhtenä niistä kielenoppimisessa. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli luoda katsaus klassisen laulajan kielenoppimiseen: ammatin asettamiin kielellisiin vaatimuksiin, sekä oppimisen haasteisiin ja etuihin. Tutkimuksella oli kaksi tavoitetta: niistä ensimmäisen…

Podręcznik do nauki śpiewu Gesanglehre Bernharda Kothego (1821–1897)

2020

Singing is recognized as the most primary form of human contact with music. This art is an important element of the development,education and upbringing of the young generation. Inviting a child to the world of music lies first with the parent and then with the teacher. The popularity of various types of textbooks, songbooks or guidebooks indicates a great interest in music education. Although singing cannot be learned from a book, such studies are a great help. The author of the textbook Gesanglehre guided the idea of introducing the child to the world of music and showing the right ways of making music. This position was developed by Bernhard Kothe in 1872, and later perfected it in subse…

"Laulu syömmet aukaisee" : kokonaisvaltainen laulunopetus musiikkiliikunnan avulla

2018

The subject of this research is a holistic approach to singing education using body movements. This study was conducted as action research in which the singing pedagogue also worked as a researcher. The aim of this study was to: develop an approach to singing education with body movements, qualitatively investigate how singing with body movements can be used in solo singing education and how pedagogical ideas of Finnish music and movement teacher Inkeri Simola-Isaksson could be adapted to singing education. The data included interviews of the vocal students at the University of Oulu and the vocal students of the Johann Sebastian Bach music school in Vienna, participant journals and research…
