Advancing Vocal Health Research and Practice in Choral Singing Contexts

Studies appearing in this special collection focus broadly on vocal health in choral singing contexts. They do so from a variety of vantage points—singers in various stages of lifespan voice development, teacher-conductors, parents, and professional journal content. Such investigations interest us because choir conductor-teachers serve as the primary voice teachers and main sources of voice care information for millions of singers. Far more people sing in choirs than take private voice lessons. (cont.)
