CONSTRUCTING GUIDEBOOK OF TRAINING METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR VOCAL STAGE PERFORMANCES

Abstract

Vocal stage performance in China is deeply rooted in cultural, religious, and philosophical traditions, with influences from Confucian discipline, Daoist natural expression, and Buddhist chanting techniques shaping vocal artistry. The purpose of this research is: (1) To study the training methods and techniques for vocal stage performances. (2) To create a guidebook for vocal stage performance. (3) To use the guidebook for teaching first-year university students. (4) To evaluate the teaching effectiveness of the guidebook. This research adopted a mixed research method, qualitative research and quantitative research, and selected 15 students from first year students at Wuhan University of Engineering Science as experimental subjects to conduct a teaching experiment of vocal stage performance. The researcher used qualitative research methods to interview key informants, observing the learning status of first year students at Wuhan University of Engineering Science. During the development phase, quantitative analysis methods describe the experimental design and statistically analyze the conclusions. This article analyzes the effect of students using the vocal stage performance Guidebook through three formative tests and summative tests. The research findings show that: (1) By conducting research and interviews with key stakeholders in vocal stage performance techniques, two suitable vocal pieces were selected for freshmen and a teaching guide combining theory and instruction was developed through reading relevant literature on vocal performance and stage performance. (2) The evaluation score of the "Vocal Stage Performance Guidebook" was 0.84 > 0.50. (3) Through the three formative test scores and the final summative test scores, the results show that the book has a good guiding effect in improving students' ability to learn vocal stage performance and proves that students' interest in learning vocal stage performance is increasing. (4) In summary, by compiling this guide, valuable teaching resources have been provided for university music educators and students, and a contribution has been made to the inheritance and development of vocal stage performance art.
