曲種に応じた発声観の調査 ― 児童を対象とした聴取評価の分析から ―

The purpose of this study was to analyze the listening evaluation of elementary school students regarding their perceived value of appropriate vocalization for each type of song. Two strikingly different songs were selected: (1) "Hinomaru"， the educational song and (2) "Lift Your Palms Toward the Sun", a very familiar and popular song among Japanese children in and outside of Japan. In terms of vocalization, we conducted listening evaluation by presenting students with each song or sound source based on three frames of reference: (1) natural voice, (2) falsetto, and (3) sound created by artificial-voice technology. Most students perceived that the use of falsetto was suitable for "Hinomaru", while higher appropriateness scores tended to be dispersed in either natural voice or falsetto for "Let＇s Put Our Palm to the Sunshine." Interestingly, for "Hinomaru", the number of students who reported the use of falsetto as more appropriate increased for older students in higher school years. We peculate that this trend may be the outcome of their learning vocalization in elementary school.
