The Lesson Plan for Equalizer Mixing Method for Popular Music Standard Band at Sichuan Conservatory of Music, China

Abstract

          The purposes of this research were: (1) To study the equalizer mixing teaching method. (2) To construct the lesson plan for the equalizer mixing method. (3) To evaluate the lesson plan. The hypothesis is: (1) Verify the effectiveness of the experimental lesson plan. (2) The ratio of comprehensive evaluation results greater than 7 points shall be at least 60%.
           Quantitative and experimental research are adopted in this study. The population was 12 third-year undergraduate students majoring in modern music production The sample is 25 third-year undergraduate students majoring in modern music production of Sichuan Conservatory of Music, Chendu, Sichuan Province, China. Sampling method: Systematic sampling. The research tools are (1) a Lesson plan; (2) Practical exercises; (3) Sample evaluation and analysis. The data analysis used in this research is the percentage and mean.
           The research results were: (1) Through the studying and teaching of equalizer theory, students' understanding of equalizer principles and parameters has been deepened, and their ability to use equalizers has been effectively improved. (2) The researcher constructed a 10-week lesson plan divided into four main stages. At the last stage of the lesson plan, the expert group gave the evaluation results and obtained complete evaluation data for the researcher to analyze the data. (3) Through the research of this experimental course, the proportion of samples with an evaluation result of >7 points is higher than 60%, and the proportion of samples with an actual result of >7 points is as high as 83.3%, 23.3% higher than the expected goal. At the same time, the evaluation result shows that the proportion of samples with an evaluation result of >8 points is also 50%.
