Respiratory Function in Singing is a controversial topic, rich in folklore and conditioned by the personal preferences of teachers. This book provides a comprehensive journey into the role of respiratory function in singing and dispenses with the folklore surrounding this topic. You will learn:<ul>
<li>The importance of optimal respiratory function in singing</li> <li>How singers' beliefs about their respiratory adjustments are often incorrect, and why, despite popular belief, the breath does not carry the tone</li> <li>How lung volume influences the singing voice, and what the mechanical differences are between belly-in and belly-out singing</li> <li>How to design a customized exercise program that is based on the volume, pressure, and shape control variables actually used in singing</li>
</ul> This book is designed primarily for singers and singing teachers. Speech-language pathologists who work with singers will also find it of value. This book provides readers with the best scientific information available on respiratory function in singing, and presents it in an easy-to-read format.

Respiratory Function in Singing: A Primer for Singers And Singing Teachers

Dr. Aviv, the inventor of FEESST (Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing with Sensory Testing), provides an innovative approach to the assessment and treatment of swallowing disorders. The book, written for the medical professional, is illustrated with numerous photos, and also features practical coverage of the use of instrumentation as well as case examples. FEESST enables otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, and pulmonologists to raise the level of care for their patients with swallowing problems. This is an essential text for all physicians, clinicians and speech pathologists that treat swallowing disorders. For the first time this new examination allows direct assessment of both the motor and sensory aspects of the swallow, enabling physicians to precisely guide the dietary and behavioral management of patients to decrease the risk of aspiration pneumonia. Dr. Aviv, along with Dr. Thomas Murry, PhD, SLP, provides readers with the science behind the instrumentation, the protocols for its use, and detailed case studies demonstrating its value in evaluating and managing diverse groups including patients with a history of reflux, recent stroke patients experiencing difficulty swallowing or throat clearing or choking during meals. FEESST is also applicable to patients with an underlying diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, ALS, or dementia, along with patients with a history of upper respiratory infections, unexplained fevers, aspiration pneumonia, or asthma.

This fundamental text is a launching point for study in the field of phonetics. It introduces readers to the key elements in phonetic study, providing an overview of phonetic transcription, anatomy of speech production and perception, the physics of sound, properties of vowels, diphthongs, and consonants, stress and intonation, and connected speech. Revisions in this third edition reflect the steady growth in exploration and understanding of the field of phonetics since the publication of the original edition of this book, with valuable contributions and input from two distinguished phoneticians, Donald Mower, PhD, and David Ingram, PhD In addition to new and updated content, this book retains the unique presentation of selected speech production modules developed over 30 years ago, which enable students to independently study the complex phenomenon of speech sound in context. After mastering this text, students will find they have opened the door to opportunities in the study of speech-language pathology.

Provides an introduction to medical diagnostics and special problems with professional performers and voice users and offers a rare look at the assessment procedures used by the top voice care teams in the world. Detailed coverage is given to equipment, tests, and procedures, such as laryngeal electromyography, as well as the critical issues arising from psychological aspects of vocal disorders. Every aspect of assessment that clinicians are required to consider in practice is covered here.

Clinical Assessment of Voice

This book facilitates treatment planning and implementation for clinicians by providing evidence-based treatment protocols with detailed plans for teaching fluency skills to adults and children. As with his other recent books, the uniqueness of this collection lies in the author's approach, as each protocol gives the clinician a plan of action, in the form of scripted scenarios. Unlike step-by-step directions, which can leave room for ambiguity, these scripts specify the anticipated verbal and nonverbal actions the clinician and child are expected to exhibit. Protocols for all major fluency targets are included, each containing a specific plan of action with examples of target behaviors for each fluency skill for an adult or child. These protocols save treatment planning time by presenting the clinician with procedures that have been proven effective in clinical and experimental studies, eliminating the need for clinicians to research teaching exemplars. Each procedure is designed as a self-sufficient, separate entity, so that clinicians need not refer back and forth to teach a particular skill. An invaluable accompaniment to this book is the included CD, which is unique in that it allows maximum flexibility for the clinician. It contains most of the files a clinician will need to prepare for a fluency treatment session, including specific recording sheets for each target skill and behavior. Every document on the CD is both modifiable and printable, allowing the clinician to alter and reproduce any or all of these forms for use with specific clients. This book provides an unprecedented wealth of resources for clinicians who treat adult and child fluency disorders, including: Evidence-based protocols for treatment; Flexible and facilitative scripted scenarios; Time-saving, researched, and proven plans of action; CD with modifiable and reproducible forms to allow individualized treatment and documentation.

"Mr. Nair offers a direct, detailed but prosaically economical approach that is particularly useful in class voice situations as well as in teaching young singers. His concise expositions of basic vocal pedagogy with immediate practical application are unique in the field." Joseph Evans, Professor of Voice, University of Houston, Moores School of Music Drawing from his many years of private lessons and choral work, Garyth Nair, an experienced faculty member and Music Director and Conductor Emeritus of the Summit Chorale, has two goals in this book: To provide a foundation of anatomical, physiological, acoustical and medical knowledge for students in the belief that one must know how something works before one can alter or repair it. To carefully structure the learning of the foundational vocal skills necessary for real future development of each student's technique past the end of the course. Borrowing from Voice Science but staying firmly centered in the studio or classroom, the text helps the reader with a raw vocal ability understand the function and care of their vocal instrument. In the second part, the book begins a carefully graduated approach to cement into place good singing habits. Three songs, comprising works in Italian, English and German, are used to produce exemplary vowels and consonants and wonderful songs. The student receives the author's special advice and suggestions.
