Abstract

Research Notes

Although the presence or absence of lyrics is a major difference between singing and playing a musical instrument, both have in common that the performer's experience and emotions are very much reflected in how he or she faces the music, interprets it, and connects it to his or her own expression. However, the performance cannot be realized only with such feelings, and the underlying expression requires the skill to accurately play the pitches, rhythms, and pitches that make up the melody, after considering the meaning of each note with the composer's thoughts in mind and understanding the historical background and roots of the piece. In acquiring these skills, it is essential to match the actual voice with the body image required to produce the voice, and furthermore, it is very important for the instructor and students to share a common understanding of the language. Here, we introduce the effectiveness of color imaging, in which the pitch perception of the voice is clarified by replacing the highs and lows of sound with the lightness and darkness of color, leading to an understanding of the internal state of one's own body and its specific use.
