Outline of Final Research Achievements

We performed a study on voluntary song of the children. How a child was going to sing as grounds of the better song education in the childcare and the teacher training. We made the processing sound that changed three elements of　the "length" "height" "intonation" about the sound at the time of the 3 sounds of 5 patterns of infants and conducted the hearing experiment. As a result, the high sound than the low sound, the longer sound than the short sound and the sound rose at the end of sounds clarified to seemed to be a song. And we perfprmed the acoustic analysis in addition to prosodic analysis. As a result, the high evaluation sound of the song degree tend to be relatively low sharpness when loudness had increased by the nonsteady loudness analysis with the sound quality evaluation system.
