Analysis of the role and influence of sight-singing and ear training on vocal learning skills

Sight-singing and ear training is one of the essential introductory courses for music majors, and the effectiveness of sight-singing and ear training teaching directly affects students’ growth and progress in music. In this paper, we have combined relevant contents of sight-singing, ear training, and vocal learning to construct a flipped classroom teaching model for sight-singing and ear training using the flipped classroom teaching process. Secondly, taking the students of L Conservatory of Music as the research object, two different questionnaires were designed for students and teachers, and the teaching experiment comparison method was used to test the role of sight-singing and ear-training flipped classroom on vocal music learning skills. Finally, the parameters of the multiple linear regression model were estimated using the least squares method, and the model was used to analyze the specific effects of sight-singing and ear training on vocal learning skills. It was found that after the flipped classroom teaching of sight-singing and ear-training, the ear-training scores of students in the experimental class were 90.43±9.26 points, which were 17.06 points higher than those of students in the control class, and there was no difference in the pre- and post-test scores of sight-singing and ear-training. The regression coefficient of students’ musical expression was 0.306. Every 1 percentage point increase in musical expression would enhance vocal learning skills by 0.306 percentage points. Sight-singing and ear-training can help students better master the basic skills of vocal music, cultivate their sense of rhythm, and enhance their vocal music learning skills.
