The effect of playing ınstrument on voice training

The present study was conducted to determine the effects of playing an instrument on voice training. In the research; an experimental group of 8 people who played an instrument and did not receive voice training; a control group of 4 people who had no instrument training or voice training was formed. Within the scope of the pre-test, stroboscopic voice examination and voice analysis with CSL voice analysis program, voice physiology test and performance evaluation recording were applied to the members of both application groups. Then, the voice training program planned for six weeks was applied to both groups. All applications made for the pre-test were performed again for the post-test after the application in the same way. The hypothesis of the research is that the samples that have received instrument training can perceive voice training better and absorb music more easily compared to samples that have not received any instrument training until their undergraduate education begins. The research data were obtained by means of literature review, interview, questionnaire and application techniques and analyzed, interpreted and suggestions were made according to descriptive statistical methods. In the performance results of the research, both the first sample group and the second sample group increased their success after applying. The first sample group consisting of students who played an instrument was found to be more successful than the second sample group, which did not play an instrument. The analysis results for the 6 parameters selected in the MDVP voice analysis results were also graphed separately for the two groups. Videolaryngostroboscopic was applied to both sample groups as pre-test and post-test. The purpose of the method is to measure vocal cord health. Reflux was observed in 2 students in the first sample group and in 3 students in the second sample group. Each of these samples received a “better” rating from the three-person medical board, although no medical treatment was given. In the results of the voice physiology test, both sample groups were found to be more successful in the post-test compared to the pre-test.
