Abstract

          Teaching Thai singing requires the development of listening skills, vocal use, and appropriate body movement to produce vocal sounds. Music education students need to systematically develop these skills to achieve proficiency and be able to apply them to playing and singing Thai songs accurately and with quality. In previous Basic Thai Singing courses, researchers found that most students lacked sufficient basic knowledge and skills in singing Thai songs. Teaching in single groups without sequential skill development prevented some students from achieving their desired skills. To address this issue, developing a Basic Thai Singing Skills Training Kit based on Dave's concept for music education students at Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Rajabhat University is an appropriate approach. This approach emphasizes sequential skill development, which facilitates more systematic Thai singing skills training.

          This research article, "Developing a Basic Thai Singing Skills Training Kit Based on Dave's Concept for Music Education Students," aimed to: 1) determine the effectiveness of the training kit based on the 80/80 criterion; 2) compare Thai singing performance before and after using the training kit; and 3) examine satisfaction with the training kit. The sample consisted of 15 first-year music education students, selected purposively. The research instrument was a basic Thai singing skills training set based on Dave's concept. The results of the study found that 1) the efficiency of the skill training set had an average efficiency of 84.56/80.40, higher than the criterion of 80/80. 2) The academic achievement between before and after learning of teaching with a basic Thai singing skills training set based on Dave's concept for music education students found that students' academic achievement after learning was higher than before learning with a statistical significance level of .05. 3) The students' satisfaction with the basic Thai singing skills training set based on Dave's concept for music education students was at the highest level overall with an average of 4.58.
