Abstract
This study focuses on ear training at secondary and university level where the phenomenon of absolute pitch is in focus. The study is partly from the perspective of two groups: students with absolute pitch, and teachers with experience teaching students with absolute pitch. Above all, the study highlights how teachers adapt their teaching to students with absolute pitch and what students with absolute pitch perceive as easy or difficult in ear training and music teaching. The survey has been conducted in the form of interviews with a small number of teachers and students. Since I, myself, have perfect pitch, and I am educated at both high school and university level, I am particularly interested in investigating whether teachers adapt the... (More)

Since I, myself, have perfect pitch, and I am educated at both high school and university level, I am particularly interested in investigating whether teachers adapt the teaching to students with perfect pitch, or not. The selection of informants was done through so-called snowball sampling. Furthermore, qualitative interviews have been conducted. The study shows that students with absolute pitch often experience transposing music as a challenge before they receive useful methods from their teachers. It also appears that students with absolute pitch can be helped by connecting their hearing to music theory. (Less)
Abstract (Swedish)
Denna studie fokuserar på gehörs- och musiklära-undervisning på gymnasienivå och högskolenivå där fenomenet absolut gehör är i fokus. Studien är gjord utifrån två gruppers perspektiv: elever med absolut gehör, och lärare med erfarenhet av att under visa av elever med absolut gehör. Studien belyser framför allt hur lärare anpassar undervisningen till elever med absolut gehör samt vad elever med absolut gehör upplever som lätt eller svårt i GeMu- undervisning. Undersökningen har bedrivits i form av interjuver med ett mindre antal lärare och elever. Eftersom jag själv har absolut gehör och är utbildad på såväl gymnasienivå som musikhögskolenivå, är jag extra intresserad av att undersöka huruvida lärare anpassar undervisningen efter elever med...

Denna studie fokuserar på gehörs- och musiklära-undervisning på gymnasienivå och högskolenivå där fenomenet absolut gehör är i fokus.

Studien belyser framför allt hur lärare anpassar undervisningen till elever med absolut gehör samt vad elever med absolut gehör upplever som lätt eller svårt i GeMu- undervisning. Undersökningen har bedrivits i form av interjuver med ett mindre antal lärare och elever. Eftersom jag själv har absolut gehör och är utbildad på såväl gymnasienivå som musikhögskolenivå, är jag extra intresserad av att undersöka huruvida lärare anpassar undervisningen efter elever med absolut gehör, eller inte. Urvalet av informanter skedde genom s.k. snöbollsurval. Vidare har kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts. I studien visade det sig att elever med absolut gehör ofta upplever transponering av musik som en utmaning innan de får användbara metoder från sina pedagoger. Det framkommer också att elever med absolut gehör kan vara hjälpta av att koppla sitt gehör till musikteori. (Less)
