Using the Trala application for learning to play the violin: A study of techniques, which affect listeners
Liu We · Acta Psychologica · 2025
Mastering the violin depends on the possibility of achieving a higher dynamic accuracy of sounds, which requires high-quality learning approaches. The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibilities of using the Trala application to develop violin-playing skills, considering the techniques that influence listeners. Using the Trala application in training involved developing some approaches. The Trala application is designed to facilitate violin instruction by integrating innovative approaches. It emphasizes the provision of feedback, includes exercises aimed at developing playing technique, and incorporates elements of gamification to enhance the learning experience. The study determined that the students of Group No. 2 had achieved the highest quality of interpretation of melodies. The group focused on imitation techniques. The students of Group No. 3, who focused more on creating improvisation during their studies, reached the second level in terms of interpretation quality. However, the students of Group No. 3 demonstrated great confidence in their performance due to the diversity in learning. The authors of the paper found that the students of Group No. 2 had performed violin compositions more efficiently, according to the audience (the coefficient of perception (p ́) is equal to 9.8). The practical significance of the paper lies in the development of violin playing skills by using the functionality of the Trala application. The prospects of the study relate to determining the possibilities of using the Trala application for teaching musicians of different age categories.
