MMED-5365 Vocal Pedagogy and Health
Vocal Pedagogy and Health includes the examination of pedagogical approaches to vocal instruction. Assessment of scientific data, learning styles, and discipline-specific language will assist in the formation of individual teaching philosophies and practical methods of analyzing and developing the primary parameters of vocal production: respiration, phonation, resonation, and articulation. Each student will acquire a moderately detailed understanding of the structure and function of the vocal mechanism as it is used for singing. Students will learn principles of caring for the singing voice, how to preserve one's vocal health for a lifetime.
