碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 音樂教育學系碩士班 === 95 === This study was to investigate the effect of three different types of male and female teachers’ modeling singing voice on the first graders’ singing pitch accuracy. In addition, the correlations between/among the three types of male and female teachers’ modeling singing voice and the singing pitch accuracy of the participants were examined. A Criterion Song, Male and Female Teachers Modeling Singing CD, and Assessment Form developed by the researcher were the instruments. The total of subjects was 228 from an elementary school in Taipei City. Three judges who are children singing experts received judge training and the inter-rater reliability was .865. Data analysis approaches included descriptive statistical, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson product-moment correlation. There was a significant difference (p=.00, F=144.44) between the three types of male and female teachers’ modeling singing voice and the singing pitch accuracy of the participants. The LSD was utilized for the post-hoc comparison. The findings are as follows: 1. The means of participants’ singing pitch accuracy were different by the three different types of singing modeling: female singing modeling (m=7.32), male falsetto singing modeling (m=7.35), and male natural voice singing modeling (m=4.22). 2. Regarding to the effects on participants’ singing pitch accuracy, there were significant differences between male natural voice singing modeling and female singing modeling (correlation coefficient, r= -.089), male natural voice singing modeling and male falsetto singing modeling (correlation coefficient, r=.174) as well; however, there was no significant difference between female singing modeling and male falsetto singing modeling (correlation coefficient, r=.329). It can be recommended: 1) when modeling singing, teachers should consider the appropriateness of vocal types, the timbre and the pitch accuracy. 2) male teachers should have the awareness and appropriate timing of using natural voice and falsetto and the timing of using them, as well as using child singing modeling as an alternative way, if they do singing modeling.
