After the Hunan Music Joint Examination syllabus reform in 2017, the level of sight-singing and ear-training has shown a downward trend
The poster studied composition and also likes sight-singing and ear-training. However, when I took the art exam, I studied at an unknown training institution, and the training institution completely followed the content of the provincial unified exam, so I have a different understanding of the model under the provincial unified exam.
I have been persuading my classmates not to study Primary 3 in Hunan Province. Now Hunan Province is really turning into a joke. Spending tens of thousands of dollars just to learn sight-singing and ear training with "no rise, no fall" and "no change of tone"!
I know that the provincial unified examination is just a passing test, but all art training institutions in the province study according to the content of the provincial unified examination. This would mean a decline in musical standards across the province.
Since the art reform in Hunan Province in 2017, the difficulty of the sight-singing and ear-training examination has been drastically reduced. Let’s take a look at the real questions:
·
Ear-training The melody does not rise or fall, seventh chords are not tested, and not a single change is added.
Moreover, composition and piano majors have the same requirements for sight-singing and ear-training as vocal music students
The most important thing is that of the total professional score of 300 points, ear training only accounts for 5, that is, only 15 points. The decrease in scores and the difficulty of the exam have led to students not paying much attention to sight-singing and ear training.
Doing this is no different from elementary school math problems like 1 1 = 2
Let’s take a look at sight-singing again:
Sight-singing can change the sound Refuse to add.
The joint examination model of the Hunan Art Examination, which has been implemented for 20 years, was reformed on May 10, 2016. Compared with the past, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as earth-shaking.
Faced with such a simple question, I was immediately stunned as soon as I took the exam.
As the difficulty of exams decreases, the teaching level of training institutions also begins to decline.
However, in this atmosphere, students have to make discounts on this basis.
At the sight-singing test site, the sight-singing was very simple with no rise or fall, and there were also extremely outrageous out-of-tune performances.
They didn’t even take it seriously, it didn’t matter anyway, just lose the points.
At this point, I don’t know what to say.
This is not like taking the professional music route
However, this is the "college entrance examination" that all music majors admire.
This will indeed take care of music students who have zero foundation and do not study, but will it produce musical talents?
On the contrary, I was admitted to the conservatory of music, but got stuck in sight-singing and ear training.
You need to know that the study of sight-singing and ear training in composition majors should be treated the same as the major subjects, not like this!
It’s so simple. We have sight-singing and ear training in Hunan Province. I’m really speechless...
No promotion or demotion. Such a simple thing, but such a high fee is charged for intensive training. (At least 10,000 yuan to start, just take this course)
The admissions teachers of the training institutions are just for money
Once they get to school to take the exam, they just ignore it.
The admissions teacher just said: "Whether you pass the exam or not, that's your business." ╯﹏╰
This can't be entirely blamed on the teachers of the training institution, maybe the teachers of the training institution Teachers can teach, but the test content is so simple that there is nothing they can do. I think it is necessary to do some work on the provincial unified examination
The Music School of Normal University is still the Normal University, and Yuelu Mountain is still there. We seem to be a little reluctant to abandon the 20-year model.
Other students from outside the province said:
“It’s absolutely amazing. When I studied sight-singing for the art exam a few years ago, I always used the questions from Hunan as the benchmark. It's hard for us."
The Xiaosanmen, which had the most advantages in the Hunan Art Examination, has faded in the tide of reform, which has a tragic feeling.
Alas, what can we do!
