Sažetak
The paper aimed to propose methods to optimize digital vocal teaching for traditionally trained instructors. The study was performed in the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Beijing Normal University and East China Normal University. The study sample comprised 342 students. The research objectives were to conduct a SWOT analysis of using Skype in online vocal teaching, to offer an online course (Theory and Applications of Digital Learning in Music Studies), to improve digital competencies of traditionally trained instructors, and to evaluate the impact of digital technology on students’ creative academic performance. The SWOT analysis showed that there are predominant strengths in online vocal teaching, and new opportunities can be used to improve learning. The analysis of weaknesses revealed that traditionally trained instructors need to improve their digital literacy. 87 % of traditionally trained instructors improved their digital competencies by the proposed course (Theory and Applications of Digital Learning in Music Studies). Students’ academic performance did not differ (p> .05) in the research groups. The mean score was 77±3.68 and 82±3.30, respectively, but there was a tendency for the mean score to increase. An instructor’s main goal is to make sure that a student maintains a smooth and an even sound in a single breath, without forcing sound during singing, which cannot always be monitored during an online class. The study results allow one to integrate innovative digital technologies into higher music education, without reducing the efficiency of training. Prospective research might focus on digital technology implementation in vocal studies in existing educational institutions to re-engineer teaching technologies and measure their effectiveness.
