Research interests relevant to AIRSWithin the AIRS framework, I have been assigned to Sub-theme 1.3, Test Battery of Singing Skills. Together with my students, we are working in order to fit the Test Battery to the Estonian language and cultural background. After a pilot study, 43 children aged between four and six have recently been tested. Analysis of the collected material is in progress.
Potential contribution to AIRSIn Estonia, we live and work in a society where singing has a somewhat special position. In late 1980s, the so-called singing revolution (parallel to the velvet revolution in Prague) took place in Estonia, which means that singing was used in order to achieve certain political goals, i.e. restoring our independence from the former Soviet Union. Historically, four-part choral singing has been a norm in the Estonian educational system since early 19th century. National song festivals with tens of thousands of participants take place in Estonia regularly after every few years. Such an experience has a potential value which may contribute to achieving goals of the AIRS project.
Expected benefit from the AIRS collaborationI would like to place the work of my students in Estonia in a larger international context and to provide them with additional resources for stipends, travel, and professional services and supplies.
