The possible relationship between mathematical skills and vocal performance

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to verify a possible relationship between vocal performance and mathematical skills. The study has polled 60 vocal students and 6 voice teachers, analyzed educational records, and conducted an independent singing examination. Using the Student's t-test, it was found that vocal performance estimates carried among student with different levels of mathematical competency indicated a connection between vocal performance and mathematical abilities. The results revealed that vocal students with relatively well-developed mathematical skills outperformed those with poor mathematical abilities by around 33 percentage points.
