How vocal pedagogy differs across the styles of singing public deposited, downloadable content.

The purpose of this paper is to present ways in which a performer can successfully and healthily navigate different styles of singing. This study analyzes various singing techniques from esteemed vocal pedagogues such as Manuel Garcia, Richard Miller, Ingo Titze, and several others in order to explain how these methods are applicable to the aspiring crossover artist. The most efficacious concepts are identified, and are encouraged to be used in a performer’s practices and preparation. After considering multiple perspectives, proper execution of various styles in singing is achieved not through completely overriding one’s classical vocal technique, but rather through minor adjustments to the various articulators in the vocal tract, occurring both at and above the glottis. With this information at their disposal, crossover artists are provided with the necessary tools to properly traverse the different styles of singing in a way that is seamless and effective in communicating to the audience.

5.6 Voice Health and Vocal Education

John Nix has a bachelor of music (voice performance, University of Georgia), a master of music education (arts administration, Florida State University), a master of music (voice performance, University of Colorado), and a certificate in vocology (University of Iowa). He is professor of voice and voice pedagogy at the University of Texas-San Antonio, and has an adjunct appointment in the Department of Speech Language Pathology at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in San Antonio. His mentors include Barbara Doscher (singing, pedagogy) and Ingo Titze (voice science). His students have sung with the Santa Fe, Arizona, Chautauqua, St. Louis, Nevada, Omaha, and San Antonio opera companies, and two of his current or past students have been master teachers in the NATS Intern Program. In addition to his active voice teaching studio, he performs research in voice pedagogy, literature, and acoustics, having produced 38 published articles and 8 book chapters.

Nelson Roy received his doctorate in communication disorders in 1997 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Wisconsin. He completed his undergraduate and master's degree education in Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada. Currently he is an associate professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at The University of Utah. His research focuses on the assessment and management of voice disorders in adults, including: (1) epidemiology of voice and swallowing disorders, including high risk groups such as school teachers, the elderly, and more recently, spasmodic dysphonia; (2) treatment outcomes research in voice and other speech/language disorders; (3) developing an objective, acoustic index of dysphonia severity; (4) establishing a clinical diagnostic algorithm to improve differential diagnosis of muscle tension dysphonia and spasmodic dysphonia, and (5) assessing the phonatory and laryngoscopic effects of acute, external superior laryngeal nerve denervation.

Vocal health is of paramount importance to educators and performers of all ages and genres. Whether selecting appropriate repertoire for soloists, adjusting spacing to provide ideal self-to-other ratios between choir singers, developing age-appropriate exercises for young singers, or managing medication side effects on older singers' voices, optimizing vocal health creates the conditions for singers to reach their full potential and to produce expressive performances. This article begins by considering some of the occupational hazards voice educators and performers face. It also provides an overview of evidence-based healthy practices for teaching and performing, and offers suggestions for teaching healthy voice use to students. Included in this discussion is information on integrating the function of the whole body with the voice. The article closes with information on developing healthy learning/teaching environments.

POKROVSK, Ukraine (AP) — On the morning of Day 142 of the war in Ukraine, the mayor of a community slipping closer to the front line stands in sneakers and blazer near the newest soldier’s grave.

Aside from the gravedigger, Ruslan Trebushkin is the last to toss dirt on the casket, which had been closed. He worries how much of the body was left, how much the war took away. This is his 10th military funeral since Russia’s invasion in February. Funerals were televised to give the soldiers recognition until the recruitment office and families asked to stop it “for humanity reasons,” he says. It had become too much.

Here, in the path of Russia’s invasion, the city of Pokrovsk and other emptying communities in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region live every day at war. There’s the obvious conflict, with tanks and ambulances snaking along the region’s patched two-lane roads and smoke rising beyond sunflower fields.

And then there are the personal battles, the internal front lines.

Even as the mayor places a handful of roses at the grave and comforts the mother who wailed, “My son, why did you abandon me?” he wrestles with a responsibility that few residents have likely contemplated.

He must be ready when the military orders the remaining residents to leave, and as mayor he would be among the last to go. The uncertainty is unnerving: The upheaval could happen in “a week, a month, two months, depending on the front line movement,” he says. Yet, he is calm.

At midday of Day 142 of the war in Ukraine, a humanitarian coordinator in the city of Selydove paces in the echoing, Soviet-era Palace of Culture as scores of residents pick up plastic bags containing food rations.

Zitta Topilina says the relief effort has served thousands of people, including some who have fled Russian-occupied areas such as the port of Mariupol. She believes the stories from people escaping “the other side” have been terrifying enough to sway any residents who might have sympathized with Russia out of nostalgia.

She is one of the thousands of Donetsk residents who are being urged by authorities to evacuate while they can. Unlike many people, she has a relative elsewhere in Ukraine who is able to host her. But she can’t bring herself to go.

“I am 61, and they say you cannot plant old trees somewhere else,” she says. “I belong here, and so do many other people. We believe that Ukraine is ours, and we are going to die here.”

In a quiet side room of the Palace of Culture, with sunlight filtering through the drawn pink curtains, the war brings her to tears. It is taking Ukraine’s youth, she says. Once the old die out, “there will be nothing.”

But she must put such thoughts aside and help the people waiting.

On the afternoon of Day 142 of the war in Ukraine, soldiers roll up to a gas station in the city of Konstantinovka in a bullet-riddled van. The back windows are gone. The exhaust system is broken. A plastic skull sits on the windshield, facing the road.

For all the days of cluster bombs and other dangers he experiences on an undisclosed front line, one of the soldiers, Roman, in sunglasses and fingerless leather gloves, is playful. On his mobile phone, he shows photos of a blast crater with a football placed inside it. “For perspective,” he says.

Perspective also comes with the bent ring hanging from his keychain. It is his wife’s. At home are four small children, all under 10.

Roman hopes to keep the war far from them. “I would like them to be safe,” he says.

He believes support from the West is helping. But he and his buddies need more so they can return home for good.

“I would like a peaceful sky over our heads,” he says before piling back into the van to return to the front. “That’s it.”

On the evening of Day 142 of the war in Ukraine, a man stands at the counter in a boarded-up restaurant in the city of Kramatorsk. Bjork is playing on the speakers.

Bohdan thinks his is one of just three restaurants still operating in a city once home to more than 150,000 people. He says he believes it’s better to be here than sitting at home, doing little but listening to artillery fire.

Several times he has almost fled. He was speechless for two days after more than 50 people were killed at the train station in an April attack. One customer, a soldier, asked him why he’s still here.

Bohdan’s grandmother and father don’t want to leave. And his grandfather is essentially missing after his village near Lyman — just roughly 40 kilometers (25 miles) away — was overtaken by Russian forces in April. Bodhan hasn’t been able to reach him since a phone call shortly before the Russians arrived. The last thing his grandfather said was that he needed to stock up on wood and other supplies to survive.

Bodhan wonders what will happen if his own city is taken too.

He said he believes in the Ukrainian forces, but “I worry about this place.”

Minutes later, less than a kilometer away from the restaurant, Russia’s latest rocket attack carves a crater in the Square of Peace.

Why it matters that Russia just recognized Donetsk and Luhansk.

The act of recognition is fraught with meaning because the borders claimed by the Russia-backed leaders of the two breakaway regions extend into space controlled by the Ukrainian army.

By Valerie Hopkins and Andrew E. Kramer

• Feb. 21, 2022

President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia has recognized the independence of two separatist regions in Ukraine, a move many fear may be the spark for a Russian military intervention against Ukraine.

The act of recognition is fraught with meaning because the borders claimed by the Russia-backed leaders of the two breakaway regions, Donetsk and Luhansk, extend beyond territory they now control, and spill over into space controlled by the Ukrainian army.

Russia’s recognition of the two regions, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic, could allow separatist leaders to request military help from Russia, further easing a path for a military offensive, Ukrainian officials say. Ukraine would likely interpret that as Russian troops entering Ukrainian territory.

The conflict in the separatist regions began in 2014, when rebels loyal to Russia seized government buildings in Donetsk and Luhansk, beginning a long trench war with Ukrainian forces. More than 13,000 people have died in fighting in the region since.
