Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to determine reading strategy differences in completing a notation memorization task between three ensemble music traditions: jazz, choral, and band. The secondary purpose of this study was to assess possible relationships between ensemble affiliation, memorization strategies, and participants’ memorization accuracy. Participants (N = 81) had 75 s to memorize short melody while studying silently, singing, or playing on a keyboard. Participants then notated the each melody using staff notation. After completion of the task, participants ranked reading strategies employed. A Kruskal–Wallis test revealed participants in the three ensemble groups approached the memorization task using significantly different cognitive strategies: the choral group used solfege labeling more than the jazz group, the choral group used whole repetition more than the band group, and the jazz group used harmonic analysis more than the choral group. A Spearman rank correlation revealed significant relationships between stated strategies and memorization accuracy. A significant positive relationship was found between identification of patterns and accuracy on the memorization task. Group differences reveal how the forms of music literacy constructed through different ensemble affiliations may create different approaches to understanding staff notation.

大学合唱、乐队和爵士音乐家阅读策略的差异：音乐多元性的证据

本研究的主要目的是确定三种合奏音乐传统（爵士乐、合唱和乐队）在完成记谱记忆任务时的阅读策略差异。本研究的第二个目的是评估合奏关系、记忆策略和参与者记忆准确性之间的可能关系。参与者（N = 81）有75 s在默读、唱歌或弹奏键盘时记住短旋律。然后，参与者用五线谱记下每首旋律。任务完成后，参与者对所采用的阅读策略进行排名。Kruskal–Wallis测试显示，三个合奏组的参与者在处理记忆任务时使用了显著不同的认知策略：合唱组比爵士组更多地使用视唱法标签，合唱组比乐队组更多地利用整个重复，爵士组比合唱组更多地运用和声分析。Spearman等级相关性揭示了陈述策略和记忆准确性之间的显著关系。模式识别与记忆任务的准确性之间存在显著的正相关关系。群体差异揭示了通过不同的合奏隶属关系构建的音乐素养形式可能会产生不同的理解五线谱的方法。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
