    ―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.

Steven Tyler United States - 19 May 2011 Many contestants who audition for American Idol tell moving and emotional stories. Perhaps the most touching of them was told by Chris Medina who performed Breakeven by The Scripts at the auditions in Chicago. He told the judges of his fiancée Juliana Ramos who had suffered a brain injury after a car accident that left her in a wheelchair – able to move only her left arm and little more. After Chris sang, he brought his fian- cée to the audition room at the judges’ request. While Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez intro- duced themselves, Steven Tyler shook her hand saying: “Hi, girl. I just heard your fiancée sing, and he’s so good.” He added in a warm, tender whisper: “That’s why he sings so good, because he sings to you.” The New York Times called the moment “a stellar embrace” and praised Tyler as “deeply practiced and deeply humane” and an “unalloyed genius”.
