Abstract
This study aims to explore the methods for improving the agility skill of Rossini tenor. Rossini’s rias are great challenges for tenors due to the wide register and difficult agility skill. This study used a single-group experiment, with thirty vocal majors in conservatories as subjects. The author designed a one-month intervention course lasting from 2021 September to October, during which time the subjects were trained, and their performance before and after the course was compared by Evaluation of the Ability to Sing Easily(EASE). After the analysis of paired sample t, the following results were found: 1. After the intervention, there was significant improvement in the subjects’ agility skill, voice quality, musicality, stage presence, emotion, and overall performance(P<0.05); 2. There was also obvious increase in “Pathologic Risk Indicators (PRI)” from EASE; and there was no obvious increase in “Vocal Fatigue (VF)” (P>0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that the course designed by the author is able to promote the agility skill of students and their performance in singing Rossini’s arias, and is also helpful in reducing pathologic risk of their voicing organs.
