Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to develop a teaching program for the teachers of elementary schools and junior high schools by utilizing the Alexander Technique which has not attracted attention yet in school music education. In this paper, we suggested a teaching program concerning tone quality and sound in voice. The teaching program consists of two constituent programs, and will lead to a change in the conventional method of vocal music instruction.
