In voice training, male voices are classified in three main groups as tenor, baritone, and bass according to their voice characteristics. According to their voice characteristics, determining the persons’ voice group in which they are involved is revealed by a subjective evaluation of an expert voice educator with a piano. With such an evaluation, the voice types can be detected, but sometimes this may lead to different results. Therefore, it is important to determine a computer-aided objective evaluation which can be used as an aid in determining the voice type. In this study, by performing the computer-aided fundamental frequency and formant analysis of the recordings taken from 10 tenors and 10 baritones who have voice training with Praat and Matlab programs, the study of revealing the distinguishing features of tenor and baritone voice types is performed. The study group of the research consists of 20 students studying in the state conservatory of a university located in the Western Black Sea region. Three of the students are graduated from fine arts high school and the remaining seventeen students are graduated from general high school graduates. Recordings are created from the participants having tenor and baritone voices by singing ‘a’ and ‘e’ vocals on different notes and recording these sounds on iTrack Dock studio recording media. The obtained results demonstrated that the fundamental frequency analysis performed on the same mi (E4) note over ‘a’ and ‘e’ vocals is not a meaningful tool for distinguishing the tenor and baritone vocal types note; however, the formant analysis performed in terms of F1, F2 and F3 formants is a successful tool in distinguishing two voice types. Analysis results showed that the tenors have higher F1, F2 and F3 formants than baritones in both ‘a’ and ‘e’ vocals (except F1 formant for ‘e’ vocal). In addition, in a formant analysis to be carried out on the mi (E4) note, it was observed that F1 and F3 formants in ‘a’ vocal and F2 and F3 formants in ‘e’ vocal are more effective in distinguishing two voice types.

Öz Bu araştırmanın amacı zihin engelli çocuklara öz bakım becerilerinin öğretilmesinde şarkı yoluyla yapılan öğretimin etkililiğini belirlemektir. Araştırma için zihin engelli tanısı almış 5 tane öğrenci katılımcı olarak seçilmiştir. Çocuklardan biri denek yitimi göz önünde bulundurularak yedek katılımcı olarak belirlenirken, diğer çocuk ile de pilot uygulama yapılmıştır. Araştırma zihin engelli tanısı almış 3 çocukla yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada tek denekli araştırma modellerinden denekler arası yoklama evreli çoklu yoklama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın uygulama süreci yoklama, öğretim, genelleme ve izleme oturumlarından oluşmuştur.

This study aimed to examine the effects of listening to music while reading on reading comprehension performance. A total of 129 eighth grade students participated voluntarily in the study. The randomized posttest-only control group design was adopted in the study. The results demonstrated that the reading comprehension performance of the students who read the text while listening to their non-favored music without lyrics, non-favored music with lyrics, and favored music with lyrics were significantly poorer than those who did not listen to music while reading the same text. The results also showed that the reading comprehension performance of the students who read the text while listening to their favored music without lyrics did not significantly differ from the reading performance of the students who read the same text without music. Implications for education and directions for future studies were also discussed. Keywords: Reading , music, student, learning, comprehension, exper...

In this study, a pilot study was conducted on the students with mild mental retardation and the colour choice of these students. A study group which was thought to be the representative of the universe was used in the study in which general scanning model was taken as the basis. 25 mentally retarded students ranging from 10 to 12 years old, enrolled at Bolu Emine Mehmet Baysal Education Practice and Workshop Training Center, informed consents were taken from their parents, capable of understanding the instructions, having hand and eye coordination, and diagnosed as mild down syndrome, epilepsy, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder and learning disability composed this study group.            In the light of the data obtained, it was found that hot colours (red, orange, yellow) are more than the cold colours (blue, green, purple) in the choices of the students with mild mental retardation; they choose hot colour again when the relationship between the health conditions and co...

Based on the idea that Gestalt psychology is ‘more than all the components that make up it’, the emphasis is on the similarities of the brain's functioning during perception, as in reading text. Just as the brain perceives similar letters as holistic rather than one by one, it can be predicted that this happens during the musician's reading score. Parallel to Gestalt auditory perception research, musicians are thought to benefit from Gestalt perception principles, without consciousness, in the first reading (sight-reading) of notes and later in practice. However, conscious perception of these principles by musicians may be considered to contribute positively during and after their sight-reading. The aim of this study is to explain various Gestalt perception principles which are supposed to be related to music and to reveal examples of these principles on notation reading. The data obtained from the qualitative research methods through literature review were explained with si...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of listening to music while reading on reading comprehension performance. 129 eight grade students were voluntarily participated in the study. The study was modeled by the randomized post-test only control group design in which the effects of students' prior achievement regarding Turkish lessons were controlled for as one of the major aims of these lessons is to increase reading comprehension ability of the students. A music appreciation test and a reading comprehension test, originally developed by the researcher, were used to determine the students' music preferences and the reading comprehension performance, respectively. The results showed that the reading comprehension performance of the students who read the passage with their non-favored non-verbal music, non-favored verbal music, and favored verbal music were significantly poorer than those who did not listen music while reading the same passage. Importantly, the r...

Thousand of students enter special competence examinations every year. These candidates graduated from different high schools or/and from different fields are defined as "candidates from the field" and "candidates out of the field" in these aforcited examinations and different coefficients applied to the students according to this difference. In this study, the reflection of OSS (Student Selection Examination), AOBP (weighted composite score), OYSP (Points of Special Competence Examination) points and their coefficients which are taken as the criteria in Special Competence Examinations on the graduate students from the field and out of the field in the exams conducted particularly at the Faculties of Education and Music Education Departments was investigated comparatively. It was found that the candidates from the field were more advantageous, but the candidates out of the field were more advantageous particularly in OSS and AOBP when the total coefficients were ...
