1
Part 3.
2
You will hear two music students discussing the results of a survey they have done.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
5
So, Gareth, we need to organise the findings from our survey or music students for the final presentation.
6
Yes, Lorna.
7
I think we've got some very interesting results.
8
Obviously, we need to start by saying
9
that we interviewed all the third-year students doing a music degree and state the objective of our research project, that is, to find out about their attitudes to performing.
10
And then we should talk about the students' musical backgrounds before coming to university.
11
The most important points to make are
12
that although most people have actually composed music during the course
13
that wasn't the case when they arrived
14
and the other thing they had in common was the piano
15
well they'd had access to a piano at some point
16
but not all had studied it formally i thought the most interesting finding was
17
that before coming here almost everyone was involved in a chamber orchestra
18
or band or singing in a choir and playing in front of live audiences but varying enormously in size.
19
Some had only played in tiny venues.
20
I think it's worth saying that.
21
OK.
22
And as you might expect from people wanting to study music, they all had a degree of proficiency in at least two instruments.
23
But in most cases, one of the instruments was dominant.
24
Right.
25
We need to talk about attitudes to music practice.
26
The most striking thing here is
27
that even students who you'd expect to practice for hours every
28
day until they get it perfect say it's being terrified of failing that really makes them practice.
29
I know I'm the same.
30
Me too.
31
It's interesting what was said about practicing alone.
32
Some people preferred that because they could focus more on their weak points.
33
But that wasn't a majority view.
34
What most of them agree on is that there's nothing more rewarding than mastering something that's really hard to learn.
35
That's right.
36
OK, after that we should talk a bit about the pieces that students select for assessed performances.
37
There wasn't quite so much consensus on this, was there?
38
A few people prefer to do pieces which are relatively unknown, while others choose the ones they think will show off their technical ability.
39
But they were in the minority.
40
I think the first thing to say is
41
that a high percentage said they would always try to learn their pieces by heart, because it's too easy to get lost if you're trying to read and play when you're nervous.
42
OK.
43
And quite a lot of them said it helps to listen to other people playing your chosen piece, preferably recordings but even just other students
44
before you hear the rest of the discussion you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30
45
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
46
So finally, we need to look at the findings for students' attitudes to performing.
47
We should point out that this includes informal and formal public performances, as well as assessed ones.
48
Yes, that's important.
49
I expected to find that performing solo would make students very nervous, but in fact that isn't the case.
50
They do find it hugely challenging to start with, but they appreciate the challenge and find it stimulating.
51
Right.
52
I was surprised by what students said about deciding which pieces to perform.
53
I thought they'd all say this was easy.
54
For me, it's always been quite straightforward.
55
Which pieces do I like best?
56
And which pieces can I play well?
57
And my repertoire is quite limited anyway.
58
But the most commonly cited answer was that it took them ages to make their minds up.
59
I suppose it's because there are so many factors involved.
60
You need to consider your audience, the venue, the time available to learn the piece, especially if it's complicated.
61
You need to think about all these things, and you can't do that in a hurry.
62
That's true.
63
Then there's performing with musicians from a different genre, like a classical musician playing with a jazz group.
64
That can really be fun.
65
But most of the music students had never even considered it.
66
Right.
67
For performing with musicians who play the same instrument, almost everyone put the same thing.
68
Yes, they all said it was incredibly helpful, and not at all intimidating, which says a lot for the department's ethos.
69
Yes, that's a good point.
70
Okay, what I think we should sort out now...
71
Thank you.
72
Thank you.
73
Thank you.
74
Thank you.
75
Thank you.

YouTubeで英語学習:音楽学生の会話から学ぶ

このビデオでは、音楽学部の学生2人が調査結果を話し合っています。大学入学前の音楽的背景、練習への態度、演奏曲の選び方などについて議論しており、自然な日常会話の流れと専門的な用語が混在しています。英語のリスニングやスピーキングの練習に最適な素材です。

日常会話に使えるトップ5フレーズ

  • "the most important points to make are that...":重要なポイントは~です。議論やプレゼンテーションで使える表現です。
  • "as you might expect from...":~から予想されるように。一般的な傾向を述べる時に便利です。
  • "the most striking thing here is that...":最も印象的なのは~です。驚くべき発見を伝える際に使います。
  • "there's nothing more rewarding than...":~ほどやりがいのあることはありません。自分の感想を強調する表現です。

英語シャドーイングのステップバイステップガイド

このビデオの会話はスピードが速く、専門用語もあるため、シャドーイングには少し工夫が必要です。まず、1回全体を聴いて内容を把握し、重要な単語(例:chamber orchestra, proficiency)をメモします。次に、5秒ずつ区切って再生し、即座に繰り返します。shadow speechのポイントは、発音だけでなくイントネーションやリズムを真似ることです。特に、"I know I'm the same. Me too."のような短い応答は、自然な流れを再現する練習になります。最後に、全編を一度にシャドーイングし、自分の発音と原音を比較して修正しましょう。この方法で、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、会話の流れを理解する力も向上します。

YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、このような実践的なシャドーイング練習を続けることが大切です。shadowing siteなどを利用して、さまざまな素材で練習すると効果的です。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
