Interactive Piano Learning Systems: Implementing the Suzuki Method in Web-Based Classrooms
Sun, Jing Qiu
Education and Information Technologies, v28 n3 p3401-3416 Mar 2023
The paper's primary goal was to analyze and find interactive piano learning systems using the Suzuki method. The sample of respondents engaged in the investigation was made up of 200 students from the [Zhejiang Conservatory of Music]. The estimated Cohen's kappa coefficient determined the level playing field of control and experimental groups at the start of training, as the coefficient was equal to 0.08. The survey measured the control and experimental group members' awareness of the Suzuki method. 29% of students in the control group and 18% of students in the experimental group were somewhat aware of the Suzuki method and relevant theoretical background. The training program was based on: learning sheet music by listening with Modartt Pianote app; developing fine motor skills using Garritan; teamwork based on YOUSICIAN (for the experimental group) and Ding Talk (for the group of children); regular homework using Native Instruments GarageBand (for the experimental group) and WeChat (for children) mobile apps. After a year of study, 54% of students learned to comprehend melodies of varying complexity by ear with further playing on the piano. 58% of control group members learned to play sophisticated tunes using musical notation. During the second phase, which involved 5-7-year-old children, most of group 3 members acquired strong knowledge. Involvement of 5-7-year-olds was done to compare the effectiveness of the developed program for different age categories.
