ABSTRACT

Music sight-reading is a valuable skill that eludes and frustrates many musicians. Techniques for teaching sight-reading are varied, with teachers mostly falling back on personal experience or simply hoping that, somehow, the penny will drop for the student. This study reports on a survey of the music learning and playing habits of expert and non-expert piano sight-readers. Pianists were categorised as ‘experts’ according to their ability to perfectly perform a 6th Grade AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board) sight-reading assessment piece. This grouping was determined by the analysis of eye movement patterns as pianists performed various sight-reading tasks (Arthur 2017). The data show significant differences in musical training and performance experiences between the two groups.

摘要

音乐视听是一项宝贵的技能，它使许多音乐家感到困惑和沮丧。视读教学的方法多种多样，老师大多回避个人经历，或者只是希望以某种方式为学生节省一分钱。这项研究报告了对专业和非专业钢琴视线阅读器的音乐学习和演奏习惯的调查。根据钢琴演奏者完美完成6年级AMEB（澳大利亚音乐考试委员会）视读评估作品的能力，他们被归类为“专家”。通过对钢琴演奏者执行各种视读任务的眼动模式的分析来确定这一分组（Arthur 2017）。数据显示两组之间在音乐训练和表演经验上存在显着差异。
