| Abstract(in English) | Deafblind and hearing impaired persons cannot perceive their own voice pitch and thus find it difficult to control. While singing, the voice pitch needs to be controlled to maintain a stable tone. Hence, a voice pitch control system was developed to assist such persons in singing. In a previous study, two deafblind subjects using this system could control their voice pitch with comparable accuracy as hearing children while singing "Frog Round," even though successive notes in the song' melody were adjacent in the musical scale. Herein, the pitch control accuracy is investigated for "Frog Round," and song in which successive notes are separated by wider intervals in the musical scale, for comparison. We describe the results of this investigation in this paper. |
