Kestääkö ääni? : laulunopetuksen vaikutus opettajaksi valmistuvien äänen laatuun ja ilmaisuun
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 groups.
Group A and B participated in singing and voice education and C was a control
group. Group A received double the number of vocal coaching interventions
compared to Group B. The subjects of Groups A and B took part in a lecture after
their singing studies. The university students in this study were from the Department of Teacher Education and Early Childhood Education at the University
of Jyväskylä. The exercises used during vocal education were based on five key
principals of Balance in Phonation™ Voice Training (BiP™). The chosen training
method is also suitable for untrained voice users and its key principals are derived from present research of voice and the tradition of Italian bel canto singing.
Data analyzed using data triangulation. Results show that students who
participated in the intervention benefitted from the voice training. After the voice
pedagogy intervention students exhibited less vocal fatigue and had more
knowledge and better musical skills in teaching music and singing. The recordings of the control group demonstrated that subjects’ voice quality and musical
skills did not increase compared to the beginning of the experiment. The results
support the outlook that deliberate voice training in singing benefits vocal well-
being and increases teachers’ pedagogical and musical skills. The results of this
study indicate the clear need for the development of educational programmes
designed for effective use of voice. Teachers use their voice professionally and
effective vocal education is also an economical investment to their future and
vocal health, as well as well-being in the work place.
