These four cases can be improved through repetition, but the same thing happens when they learn new music. Is it difficult to generalize learned musical skills to new music? Is it not enough class in school to develop the ability to see and play music on his own?
As I mentioned above, I am trying to provide students with appropriate experiences for they can carry music in their hearts and realize themselves, but it is not easy to acquire musical skills. If they have difficulty acquiring instrument fingering and background knowledge of music, it can be improved relatively easily by using strategies such as motivation, demonstration, and elaboration from a general learning theory perspective, but there are difficult musical situations to solve from a general learning theory perspective. First, there are many students who do not know how to read sheet music even if they learned it since elementary school, and then, they usually rely on their ears to learn music by following the teacher's demonstration. Second, when learning a song that has similar melody in verse 1 and verse 2, students have a hard time to learn verse 2. Third, during chorus, students follow the melody of the other part. Fourth, when singing without accompaniment, the pitch shakes.
