Effects of Pitch and Rhythm Priming Tasks on Accuracy and Fluency During Sight-Reading

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of pitch and rhythm priming tasks on sight-reading accuracy and fluency. High school wind instrumentalists ( N = 182) were assigned to one of four experimental groups: pre-/posttest rhythm, pre-/posttest pitch, posttest-only rhythm, or posttest-only pitch. Participants sight-read selected stimulus exercises from the Watkins-Farnum Performance Scale and completed two priming treatments and a control condition as part of a repeated-measures design. A three… Show more

“…Of course, scores on the melodic error detection test were predictive of scores on the rhythmic error detection test. This result is important because previous findings on sight-reading skill suggest a limited relationship between pitch and rhythm accuracy (Byo, 1992; Mishra, 2016; Russell, 2019). Age was a less important factor in predicting rhythm errors in the present study than it was for pitch errors in a previous study (Stambaugh & Nichols, 2020).…”

“…The effect of physical parameters on the study of piano compositions was considered by scientists from the USA (Russell, 2019). The determining factors are pitch and rhythm, accuracy and fluency of sight reading, accuracy or smoothness of sound (Russell, 2019).…”
