This event is hosted by our newly formed organization, The Singing Network. We envision The Singing Network as a catalyst for creating and building a Memorial University-provincial-national-international network of individuals and organizations interested in singing and song: scholars, performing artists, educators, students, health care professionals, as well as professional and community-based musicians organizations and associations. With support from the Memorial University’s Bruneau Centre for Excellence in Choral Music, The Network has begun creating and producing a series of voice-singing-choral events ranging from workshops, seminars, performances, dialogues, the formation of new ensembles (e.g., intergenerational choir) and this biennial International Symposium on Singing and Song. Each of the organization’s projects involves collaboration and partnerships with local, national and international colleagues. Our goal is to mobilize knowledge, expertise and resources in support of singing in musical, cultural, social, health-based and educational contexts. We are delighted with the response to our Call for Presentations for the Symposium which generated over 100 proposals from 16 countries. Today we welcome approximately 80 presenters representing 11 countries. We welcome also five amazing re-recitals, lecture demonstrations, panelkeynote presentations, presenters: Ēriksroundtable Ešenvalds discussions, (Latvia), poster Karmina session Šilec and(Slovenia), cameo performances.Karen Brunssen We (USA), are delighted Julia Davids also (USA/Canada), to welcome and graduatePatrick Freer students (USA). who A diversity are participating of presentation in The Singingformats Institute, includes aresearch collaboration papers, between lectu The Singing Network and Memorial University’s School of Music and Faculty of Education.

From its beginning, the development and growth of The Singing Network has been influenced by a number of individuals interested in and committed to understanding more about the power of singing and song and creating opportunities for sharing and networking locally and internationally. From early conversations with our professional colleagues around the world and at Memorial University, followed by a full-day brainstorming session with local participants, many people have invested time and energy into growing The Singing Network. We would like to thank our Administrative Assistant, Sheila Aucoin, who has worked with The Singing Network from the beginning grant-writing stages through to the delivery of the Symposium.

Cook Recital Hall Since ancient times, the Northern Lights have been the subject of many tales and legends. Some people say that they are gusts of snow stirred up by a fox’s tail. Others call them the gates to heaven for the deceased, or a tireless battle between warriors, or even a ball game in the sky in which the ball is the skull of a walrus. Several years ago, this unique legacy of the Nordic nations inspired Ēriks Ešenvalds to journey across Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland, and Alaska together with director Renārs Vimba and cameraman Dainis Juraga in order to document these ancient stories and the voices of nature. The expeditions have resulted in new symphony, Nordic Light. The musical message conveyed by the orchestra and the choir is supplemented with video projections featuring the legends as told or sung by various nations and shots of the Northern Lights by the Norwegian photographer Kjetil Skogli who calls himself an ‘Aurora chaser’.

  • The Status and the Problem of Western Vocal Music Teaching in Myanmar
    Journal of Advanced Research in Social Sciences and Humanities Volume 1, Issue 1 (9-17) DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.26500/JARSSH-01-2016-0102 The status and the problem of Western vocal music teaching in Myanmar MAI NAY CHI HNIN PWINT OO∗ Department of Music Education, College of Music, Mahidol University, Salaya, Thailand Abstract Aim: The aim of this study is to identify and recommend solutions to the problems not only in teaching but also in learning Western classical vocal music. The research will also consider the benefits of solving these problems. The primary objective of this study was to infer the status and the problems of Western vocal music teaching in Myanmar and to explore the appropriate methods for the solution of the problems in the environment of the government school system. Method: This research used qualitative methods, formal and informal interviews and observation. There were six vocal music teachers from a variety of Music Centers in Yangon, one vocal music teacher from The Myanmar Institute of Theology (Liberal Arts program), Music Department in Myanmar and one vocal instructor from an independent unit who are currently working in that area with at least 2 years’ experience in western vocal teaching as full-time and part-time teachers. Findings: The researcher found through the interviews that most of the vocal music teachers did not study in voice much and most of them did not have the opportunity to study music since they were young. Most of them taught voice to students based on only their experience and what they learnt from experienced teachers.

    ―I Sing Because I‘m Free‖: Developing a Systematic Vocal Pedagogy for the Modern Gospel Singer D. M. A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Yvonne Sellers Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Loretta Robinson, Advisor Karen Peeler C. Patrick Woliver Copyright by Crystal Yvonne Sellers 2009 Abstract ―I Sing Because I‘m Free‖: Developing a Systematic Vocal Pedagogy for the Modern Gospel Singer With roots in the early songs and Spirituals of the African American slave, and influenced by American Jazz and Blues, Gospel music holds a significant place in the music history of the United States. Whether as a choral or solo composition, Gospel music is accompanied song, and its rhythms, textures, and vocal styles have become infused into most of today‘s popular music, as well as in much of the music of the evangelical Christian church. For well over a century voice teachers and voice scientists have studied thoroughly the Classical singing voice. The past fifty years have seen an explosion of research aimed at understanding Classical singing vocal function, ways of building efficient and flexible Classical singing voices, and maintaining vocal health care; more recently these studies have been extended to Pop and Musical Theater voices. Surprisingly, to date almost no studies have been done on the voice of the Gospel singer. Despite its growth in popularity, a thorough exploration of the vocal requirements of singing Gospel, developed through years of unique tradition and by hundreds of noted Gospel artists, is virtually non-existent.

  • A Look at How Vocal Coaching Techniques for Singers Could Be Used to Increase the Effectiveness of Melodic Intonation Therapy on Stroke Patients
    A Look at How Vocal Coaching Techniques for Singers Could Be Used to Increase the Effectiveness of Melodic Intonation Therapy on Stroke Patients Eric Dalbey, M.A., B.S., B.A. Dr. Carmen Russell, Ph.D., MS-SLP, CCC • Abstract • 5 Steps of MIT: • Speaking vs. Singing (Jeffries 2004) Although people who suffer strokes can lose the ability to speak, their ability to sing may be retained (Marina 2007). The areas of the brain associated with speaking and singing use an area on the left side of the brain; however, singing also uses frontal parts of the right side of the brain which are unaffected by a left hemisphere stroke affecting speech. Melodic Intonation Therapy is used to exploit this pathway (Schlaug 2010). The overlap between speech and singing can be most easily observed through the shared characteristics of melody (prosody) and rhythm (rate). MIT will use some common words and the clinician will teach the client these phrases by having them sing them while tapping their left hand. The phrases are intoned on just 2 pitches; “melodies” are determined by the phrases’ natural rise and fall of the chosen words. This presentation will compare and contrast the current techniques of teaching MIT against vocal coaching techniques that are normally • Conclusions reserved exclusively for singers. The hope of this exercise is to enrich the current MIT techniques with new ideas that may prove to increase • “MIT in its current form has potential limitations. The first is in the effectiveness and success of this evidence-based strategy to further help use of a small range of pitches, often just two, usually separated by a clients with left hemisphere strokes affecting their speech.
