閱譜困難者之閱譜特徵

The Staff Reading Characteristic of the Musical Staff Reading Disability

數學科學習困難者與國文科學習困難者的共同特徵是他們對人類文明所創造發明出來的人為符號（如數字及文字），有閱讀理解上的困難，因此對於所有的人為符號，很可能有特殊一群人無法閱讀理解它們。基於這樣的觀點，本研究假設應該有人會對音樂符號（即五線譜）有閱讀理解上的困難。因此，如何篩選出這類的人，並了解其閱譜的困難所在，為本研究之目的。研究一，依據基本樂理編製一份音符記號概念評量，用以瞭解閱譜困難者之音符理解能力。同時，又設計一份「個人音樂學習經驗問卷」了解其主觀感受及排除音樂教育匱乏者。研究二則針對研究一所篩選出來的閱譜困難者進行訪談，了解其閱譜歷程。結果發現閱譜困難者擁有一般的音樂常識，但是他們的閱譜速度非常緩慢，採用的是數算式的閱譜方式，而此方式與音感及學習動機沒有關係。

The common characteristic of all kind of learning disability is that there is difficulty in reading artificial symbols, including Arabic numerals and letters. Accordingly, there should be some people have difficulty in reading musical notation. Therefore, this study tried to screen out these people, and explore their strategy while they read musical staff. We conducted two studies, quantify research and qualitative research. The former, we developed an assessment of reading musical staff that could assess the person with reading disability in musical notation. The latter, we made a deep interview with these people who had disability in reading musical notation, to explore their process of reading musical staff. We found that the music learning disability owed common musical sense, but they read staff slowly. Because they counted each note on the musical staff by line and space. Finally, the ability of reading music was nothing to do with learning motivation and absolute pitch.
