Abstract :This study examined the mood changes created by Soprano-Alto-Tenor and Bass voices on people. A quasi-experimental design with a post-test control group was used as the research model. The study group consisted of a total of 155 students studying in the preparatory classes of a state university located in the Western Black Sea region. The participants in the study were randomly assigned to listen to 2 (piano: with piano and without piano) x 4 (voice types: soprano, alto, tenor and bass) voice types. Data were obtained using the ‘Mood Scale’ developed by Coşkun and Gültepe (2014). The data obtained were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test in pairwise comparisons and the Kruskal Wallis H test in more than 2 cases. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the alto voice type among different human voice types created a significant difference on mood. The findings showed that (a) the piano sound reduced anger and anxiety, (b) the alto voice type made people less angry and calmer, relaxed and joyful with the piano, and (c) the bass voice type accompanied by the piano provided the highest relaxation. These findings were discussed in the light of new approaches.
