Conservatory Voice Department Students' Opinions on Piano and Accompaniment Courses in The Covid-19

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the views of the students studying in Conservatory Classical Western Music singing departments about online distance education piano and accompaniment lessons, which were switched to emergency online education during the Covid-19 period. This study is a qualitative study and has a phenomenological design. The data in the research were obtained through a semi-structured interview technique with a form created with open-ended questions created by the researcher within the framework of the literature. According to the content analysis, internet connection and synchronization cause the most problems due to the fact that synchronization, which is a very important element of piano and accompaniment lessons by nature, cannot be provided in online education. In addition, it is seen that not being able to read body language, gestures and facial expressions are the most negative factors in piano and accompaniment education.The most negative criticism about online education is that online education cannot be effective in piano and accompaniment lessons, and the most positive opinion is that the exams are evaluated based on audio and video recordings. As a result of this qualitative research, it can be recommended to develop the technical infrastructure, update the curriculum, and support the online learning environment with augmented reality applications
