Music education for individuals with hearing loss has a long history, yet it is not comprehensively understood how children with hearing loss progress in mainstream instrumental music settings. The present study addressed this by assessing the progress of eight flute students, four with hearing loss who wore hearing aids and four with normal hearing, over 9 months of group lessons. Results showed that children with hearing loss achieved equivalent levels of musical skill to their peers with normal hearing when undertaking the same training. This suggests that children with hearing loss can participate in instrumental music lessons on the same basis as their typically hearing peers. Furthermore, they can do this by playing instruments that require careful attention to pitch and tone, such as the flute, rather than being limited to instruments of fixed pitch such as percussion or piano.

与正常听力的同龄人相比，听力损失儿童在小组长笛课程中的进步如何？初步研究


针对听力损失者的音乐教育由来已久，但尚未全面了解听力损失儿童在主流器乐环境中的进展情况。本研究通过评估 8 名长笛学生（4 名佩戴助听器的听力损失学生和 4 名听力正常的学生）在 9 个月的小组课程中的进步来解决这个问题。结果显示，听力损失儿童在接受相同训练时，其音乐技能水平与听力正常的同龄人相当。这表明听力损失的儿童可以在与正常听力的同龄人相同的基础上参加器乐课程。此外，他们可以通过演奏需要仔细注意音高和音调的乐器（例如长笛）来实现这一点，而不是局限于固定音高的乐器（例如打击乐器或钢琴）。
