“…En estos se aplica la información visual para analizar la mejora en características como el tono, el timbre y el legato. Se observa que el alumnado es capaz de aplicarla inmediatamente en la producción vocal (Barnes-Burroughs et al, 2007;Howard et al, 2007;Leong & Cheng, 2014;Welch, Howard, Himonides, & Brereton, 2005;Wilson, Lee, Callaghan & Thorpe, 2008).…”

En el aula de canto se emplean en la enseñanza las metáforas y los gestos corporales. Las nuevas tecnologías comienzan a utilizarse de forma cada vez más presente en las aulas de canto, pero para que los estudiantes comprendan más fácilmente estas informaciones, se crean unas herramientas que favorezcan la trasmisión de la información sobre la técnica vocal. Estas herramientas didácticas se configuran a través de imágenes visuales que relacionan las frases cantadas y la colocación del sonido. Se pretende observar la eficacia de estas herramientas para su posterior empleo en las aulas de canto. Se realizan 3 sesiones con 30 estudiantes de canto con clasificación vocal variada y formación en el aula de canto del conservatorio profesional en el que reciben sus clases. En la primera sesión se solicita el canto de un fragmento musical y en la tercera sesión este fragmento se interpreta observando unas imágenes. 20 sujetos (estudiantes y profesoras) evalúan cuantitativa y cualitativamente las 60 audiciones correspondientes. Se analiza si los estudiantes obtienen mejoras en su ejecución, en el empleo del apoyo, en la construcción del legato y en el reparto de la energía. Los resultados muestran que la ejecución mejora en la mayoría de los estudiantes y que las imágenes ayudan a incrementar la concentración para la interpretación de la obra musical.

“…[3][4][5] During speech and singing related UK National Science and Engineering Weeks events for the public, the WINSINGAD 6 software was adapted to enable a display of the total number of vocal fold closures to be displayed in a large font on the screen of a laptop PC. The most accurate approach is to carry out the fundamental frequency (f0) analysis in the time domain 7 as each cycle can be accounted for directly.…”

Public engagement with science, technology, and engineering is seen as being increasingly important as the numbers of school leavers choosing to read for degrees in these areas is typically dropping. Engagement with pupils during their school years is seen as being a key element in influencing their choices of career for which seeds are sown from the primary years. Acoustics is an excellent vehicle for public engagement since the demonstrations can be appreciated directly by the sense of hearing and the underlying principles also apply in many branches of physics and engineering. This paper describes a number of demonstrations that have been employed during science engagement events for schools and the general public in the context of the principles of acoustics and human speech production. The apparatus used, which in some cases has been purpose-built, is described along with the activities themselves. In addition, a way to quantify the success of the process is proposed that involves a single button press on entry to and exit from an event.

“…ALBERT was implemented on Silicon Graphics Unix-based research machines, and more recently, this display has been incorporated into the WinSingad PC Windows-based real-time singing training system. 30,31 It should be noted though, that the LPC technique provides a mathematical description of speech production that satisfies the source-filter theory 32 for sounds that can be modeled as having an all-pole vocal tract acoustic frequency response. It is, therefore, not a physical model, and it turns out that the resulting oral tract shapes are not necessarily unique and therefore cannot be guaranteed to be the same as would be articulated by a human speaker, because in principle, more than one oral tract tube shape can produce a particular sound.…”
