課程目標 Course Objective：人聲是最自然的樂器，卻無法以肢體直接碰觸，造成聲樂教師們在教學上，必須運用和器樂不同的教學方式。本課程以西方美聲唱法(Bel Canto)為基礎，介紹人聲樂器的構造及運作，幾世紀以來聲樂教師們對呼吸法、正確的發聲方式、共鳴方式、聲區的劃分等理念，以及在聲樂教學上可能遇到的各種課題。本課程結合理論、觀察、及實作，除了啟發歌者對自身的學習，更為未來的教學工作做準備。

Course Objective: The human voice is the most natural musical instrument, but it cannot be directly touched by the body. Therefore, vocal music teachers must use different teaching methods from instrumental music in teaching. This course is based on the Western Bel Canto singing method and introduces the structure and operation of vocal instruments. Vocal music teachers for centuries have had concepts such as breathing methods, correct vocalization methods, resonance methods, and division of vocal zones, as well as various topics that may be encountered in vocal music teaching. This course combines theory, observation, and practice. It not only inspires singers to learn about themselves, but also prepares them for future teaching work.

本課程將介紹西方美聲唱法的發展，探索科學上對人聲樂器的研究，來幫助聲樂老師、合唱指揮認識人聲樂器，並藉著研究、討論幾百年來西方美聲大師的教學方法，做為啟發歌者深思的工具，為將來的教學工作做準備。

This course will introduce the development of Western bel canto singing, explore scientific research on vocal instruments, and help vocal teachers and chorus conductors understand vocal instruments. It will also study and discuss the teaching methods of Western bel canto masters for hundreds of years as a tool to inspire singers to think deeply and prepare for future teaching work.
