Revealing Pedagogical Insights: National Elements in the Vocal Education of Contemporary Chinese Popular and Classical Music Performers

Resumen

The study of vocal education in the context of contemporary Chinese popular and classical music provides a unique opportunity to explore the influence of national elements on music education and performance art. This research aims to identify the peculiarities of pedagogical methods used in Chinese vocal education with an emphasis on mastering national elements. The study was conducted through online surveys, questionnaires, data analysis, and organization. Statistical methods and comparative analysis of mean values and t-tests were employed for data processing and analysis. According to the experimental results, the average score in the experimental group, which supplemented standard education with the study of national vocal techniques and melodies, was higher (82.1) than in the control group, which received standard vocal education (75.4). The application of the t-test showed that the difference between the average scores in both groups is statistically significant. Thus, the research results confirm that using national elements in vocal education significantly improves vocal skills and adaptation to various music styles among students compared to traditional approaches. Such approaches will be able to improve the quality and effectiveness of vocal education, as well as increase students' interest in learning, helping them to become familiar with various musical traditions. Educators will have the opportunity to create educational programs that will contribute to the development of students' musical potential and mastery in various musical directions and styles.
