Perancangan Alat Ukur Relative Pitch (Relative Pitch Memory Test)

Jessica1dan Etti Rahmawati2

ABSTRAK

Relative Pitch merupakan kemampuan mengingat interval nada. Manusia menggunakan relative pitch sebagai metode utama untuk memproses musik dan mengenali suara percakapan yang terdiri dari jangkauan nada yang berbeda-beda. Salah satu strategi yang digunakan untuk mengingat relative pitch adalah latihan. Sementara itu, sejauh ini belum ditemukan alat ukur relative pitch di Indonesia, maka peneliti merancang alat ukur yang bertujuan mengukur relative pitch yang dimiliki individu.

Pengujian alat ukur ini menggunakan Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Dengan pengukuran berdasarkan struktur internal, peneliti memperoleh hasil yang menunjukkan bahwa Relative Pitch Memory Test merupakan alat ukur yang reliabel (CR = .999; VE = .975), tetapi aitem-aitem penyusunnya tidak valid.

Design of Relative Pitch Test Instrument (Relative Pitch Memory Test)

Jessica1and Etti Rahmawati2

ABSTRACT

Relative Pitch is the ability to remember pitch intervals. People use relative pitch as the main method to process music and to recognize conversation, which consist of different pitch ranges. One of the strategies utilized to remember relative pitch is by rehearsal. Meanwhile, by far there has been no instrument to test relative pitch in Indonesia. Thus, researcher intended to design an instrument to measure relative pitch.

Researcher uses Confirmatory Factor Analysis to measure the instrument. The result using internal structure measurement shows that Relative Pitch Memory Test is a reliable test instrument (CR = .999; VE = .975), however it consists of non-valid items.
