| Research Abstract |
In the first year, in order to study the acceptance by the Japanese of western music during the Meiji period we reviewed both available literature and recordings of both professional and children's singing. On the basis of our study we formed the opinion that the Japanese at the time had more trouble with the western style of singing than the playing of instruments.
In the 2^<nd> year, having studied the literature and carried out a psychological assessment test on about 33 students, we discovered that there were two ways of studying western singing-that taught by missionaries and that taught at Tokyo Music School.
In the 3^<rd> year, we studied "Shoka" (Japanese school songs) in the Meiji era. This led to further study of the effects the entrenched Shoka scheme had on singing.
