    Singing For Two: Experiencing Pregnancy as a Classical Singer by Catherine Marie Gardner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Catherine Marie Gardner 2017 Singing for Two: The Experience of Pregnancy for the Classical Singer Catherine Gardner Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2017 Abstract The purpose of this study was to understand more fully the experience of pregnancy for the classical singer. Though research has uncovered the physical implications of pregnancy for the non-singer, aspects which can impact the classical singer, such as breath mechanics, hormonal fluctuations, and the many other physical changes brought on by pregnancy, have not been fully investigated. My first objective was to find out how the physical aspects of pregnancy impact singers as they continue to perform through these changes. My second objective was to discover what the emotional implications of pregnancy are for the classical singer. Did emotional changes instigated by pregnancy occur that influenced the singer’s performance anxiety, routine and sense of self as a performer? My final objective was to investigate the social implications of pregnancy for the classical singer. How are pregnant classical singers viewed and treated within the performance realm? Is there support for singers who become pregnant? What are the implications for career trajectory and timing? !ii This study uses mixed methods to enhance and expand the range of information gathered. In- depth interviews were conducted on two pregnant and one recently pregnant classical singers.

  • Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church A TREATISE Submitted to the Faculty of the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in Sacred Music © All Rights Reserved By Jennifer L. Seighman Washington, D.C. 2015 Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church Jennifer L. Seighman, D.M.A. Director: Leo Nestor, D.M.A. Choir schools have been an intrinsic part of the Catholic Church since the fourth century. While the Holy See has instructed that such schools and training be diligently promoted, few programs exist, and even less is known about them. This paper provides much-needed research on Catholic choir school programs and the benefits they offer to the twenty-first-century Church, particularly in bringing the musico-liturgical goals of the Second Vatican Council to fruition. Using a multi-case-study approach, I investigate the only known Catholic institutions in the United States currently employing a traditional choir school education of rigorous daily instruction in choir and sung liturgy: St. Paul’s Choir School (Cambridge, MA), The Madeleine Choir School (Salt Lake City, UT), and The Atonement Academy (San Antonio, TX). To formulate the framework for this study, a survey of related literature was made encompassing musico-liturgical directives of the Second Vatican Council, Church documents calling for chorister formation, papal writings, scholarly sources addressing sacred music within the Catholic Church, and various sets of education standards.

  • Mixed up and Upside Down
    Mixed Up and Upside Down Underdeveloped Registers in Men and Women Due to Vocal Trends in Popular Music: Turning Two Pedagogic Challenges into Opportunities in Today’s Voice Studio April Young INTRODUCTION In 1967, William Vennard labeled falsetto the unused register for men and chest the unused register for women, and at that time, it was true.1 Voice teachers, especially those with young or beginning students, can no longer have this expectation. Untrained singers often imitate two trends in con- temporary commercial music (CCM) that shape some of the challenges these students bring into the voice studio; one trend is now familiar and the other comparatively recent. Trend one is demonstrated by female singers, April Young who utilize primarily chest voice and carry this production higher than is generally acceptable in classical singing. They usually have not undergone training for high “belt,” and rarely use head voice, which is often weak and has limited range. Trend two is demonstrated by male singers, who frequently utilize falsetto and less often use chest voice, which is commonly lacking in strength, scope, and coordination. Definitions for registers have changed over time, as voice science and technology have progressed. For the purposes of this discussion, the follow- ing definition of physiological vocal registers will be used: “the muscular adjustment of the vocal folds; the relative participation of the thyroaryte- noid (TA . ) muscles and the cricothyroid (CT . ) muscles.”2 TAD for Thyroarytenoid Dominance will refer to chest, mode 1, or heavy mechanism; CTD for Cricothyroid Dominance will refer to head, mode 2, or light mecha- nism.

  • The Adolescent Singing Voice in the 21St Century: Vocal Health and Pedagogy Promoting Vocal Health
    The Adolescent Singing Voice in the 21st Century: Vocal Health and Pedagogy Promoting Vocal Health 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 Rianne Marcum Gebhardt Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 D.M.A. Document Committee: Dr. Robin Rice, Advisor Dr. Julia Shaw, D.M.A Committee Dr. Kristina MacMullen, D.M.A. Committee Dr. Elliot Bendoly, Exam Committee Copyright 2016 Rianne Marcum Gebhardt ABSTRACT This document examines vocal health and pedagogy as they relate to the adolescent singing voice in the 21st century, and based on the understanding gained, it develops strategies to prevent vocal injuries in adolescence, carrying good vocal hygiene into adulthood. Music educators working with adolescent singing voices can use this document as a guide to lead their students to adopt healthy vocal habits and come to an awareness of their instrument, helping to prevent vocal injury. The author begins by reviewing literature on the topics of vocal health, hygiene and pedagogy concerning both adult and adolescent singers, and focuses on literature specifically relating to the adolescent singing voice. A healthy voice stems largely from sensible and hygienic vocal habits. The cultivation of good vocal habits seems to be more difficult to achieve as our world becomes louder and busier. Adolescence is the time when most vocal habits form establishing into a unique voice. Thus, music educators working with adolescents must seize the opportunity to replace unhealthy vocal habits with healthy ones in these young singers.

  • The Singing Voice During the First Two Years of Testosterone Therapy: Working with the Trans Or Gender Queer Voice
    The Singing Voice During the First Two Years of Testosterone Therapy: Working with the Trans or Gender Queer Voice Tessa Romano In partial fulfillment of the Doctorate of Musical Arts University of Colorado Boulder April 2018 2 3 Committee Signatures ___________________________________ Jennifer Bird-Arvidsson ___________________________________ Mutsumi Moteki ___________________________________ Patrick Mason 4 Abstract In order to better serve singers who identify as trans men or gender queer, voice teachers must understand the vocal effects of hormone replacement therapy, specifically that of testosterone therapy. Testosterone therapy is the only type of hormone replacement therapy that permanently changes the voice and eventually results in a full octave drop or more of a person’s spoken fundamental frequency. Due to such a dramatic shift, the voice change process can be turbulent. This dissertation is designed to educate both cis gender voice teachers and trans and gender queer singers on the process of vocal change during the first two years of testosterone therapy because the most vocal change occurs within the first two years. In addition to information on what to expect during the first two years of testosterone therapy, this dissertation also discusses language surrounding trans issues, the effects of different types of chest binders on the singing voice and it evaluates each form of testosterone therapy in regard to their effect on the voice. 5 Statement of Purpose I decided to write my pedagogy dissertation on working with trans and gender queer voices after attending the lecture by Laverne Cox in Mackey Auditorium in the spring of 2017. Laverne Cox, an actress and trans activist, said that evening: “When a trans woman gets called a man, that is an act of violence.” Upon hearing her say that, I realized how incredibly gendered the language is that we use in singing.
