The measurement tool used was an echo-singing test comprised of four short melodic phrases that included all pitches of the diatonic major scale. This study used a pre-test/post-test design to measure the growth of students’ ability to accurately match pitches by singing. Students performed significantly better on their post-test after participating in eight consecutive weeks of vocal music instruction. Research in the area of pitch-matching ability in young singers should continue in order to highlight proven teaching/coaching techniques that music educators could use to improve student achievement in vocal performance.27 pagesen-USThis work may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
