Pitch Perfect? En kvalitativ studie i hur ett urval av barbershopdirigenter arbetar med intonation i barbershopkörer
(2019) LIMP32 20182Malmö Academy of Music
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Som verksam barbershopdirigent och sångcoach har jag ett stort intresse för att bredda min kunskap om hur jag kan arbeta med intonation i grupp. Jag vill också ta reda på vilka tankar dirigenterna gör sig omkring hur de skapar förståelse bland körsångarna för det gemensamma arbetet. Denna studie undersöker några barbershopdirigenters syn på intonation, samt hur de arbetar med intonation i kör. Studien behandlar även hur intonation och övertonsförstärkning kan samverka. Det är en kvalitativ intervjustudie med tre dirigenter, verksamma nationellt och internationellt. Studiens resultat indikerar att det finns olika uppfattningar i barbershopkretsar om vilken intonationsmodell som bör användas. De tillfrågade dirigenterna tycker att örat är... (More)

Det är en kvalitativ intervjustudie med tre dirigenter, verksamma nationellt och internationellt. Studiens resultat indikerar att det finns olika uppfattningar i barbershopkretsar om vilken intonationsmodell som bör användas. De tillfrågade dirigenterna tycker att örat är vårt främsta redskap för intonation och att teoretiskt kunnande aldrig kan ersätta detta. Däremot anser de att en viss förståelse för det teoretiska sambandet mellan intonation och övertonsförstärkning är av stor vikt för att utvecklas som barbershopkör.
Alla informanter lägger i instuderingsarbetet stort fokus på samklangsövningar och lyssnande och försöker arbeta utbildande med ambitionen att körsångarna ska utveckla sitt öra och sin förmåga att själva korrigera sin intonation vid behov. (Less) - Abstract
- As an active barbershop director and vocal coach I have a great interest in broadening my knowledge about working with groups and intonation and to find out how other directors reason around creating an understanding for the chorus work among the chorus members. This study examins a few barbershop directors' views on intonation and how they work with intonation with their choruses. The study also examins how intonation and overtone reinforcement are connected. This is a qualitative interview study, where I interviewed three directors, active both in Sweden and internationally. The results of the study indicates that there are different views on which tuning systems one should use when working with barbershop. The three directors believe... (More)

The results of the study indicates that there are different views on which tuning systems one should use when working with barbershop. The three directors believe that our ears are our main instrument for intonation and that theoretical knowledge never can replace that. They however believe that a certain understanding of the theoretical connection between tuning and reinforcing overtones is vital for progressing as a barbershop ensemble.
All three informants put a lot of focus on exercises in matching sound and listening and they try to work in an educational way with the ambition that the chorus members will improve their listening and their ability to adjust their own pitch when needed. (Less)
