- W1590276014 abstract "Vocal demands of teaching are considerable and these challenges are greater for choral directors who depend on the voice as a musical and instructive instrument. The purpose of this study was to (1) examine choral directors' vocal condition using a modified Voice Handicap Index (VHI), and (2) determine the extent to which the major variables influencing vocal health (age, gender, years of teaching, and vocal health training) predicted VHI scores. Results indicated no significant differences between VHI scores of male and female choral directors. VHI reliability was high and although the major variables influencing vocal health failed to predict VHI scores, the topic of teachers' voice problems is abundant in the literature. Choral directors' scores on the modified VHI, a self-report tool, may signify a lack of awareness or willingness to reveal information. Further research about functional vocal changes of choral directors is needed in order to preserve quality of life and job efficacy.Teachers are considered professional voice users because they depend on the regular and uninterrupted use of the voice (Titze, Lemke et al., 1997). The nature of teaching requires more extensive use of the voice than many other professions. Therefore, teachers are faced with a greater risk of developing voice problems (Roy, Merrill et al., 2004). In addition to using the voice to present content to students, teachers must also manage the classroom and student behavior. All of these activities have potential to compromise vocal integrity.Music teachers are dependent on reliable voice use in the classroom as it is often the best tool for communication, demonstration, and content delivery. When the voice is inconsistent or impaired, the job of directing the choir becomes nearly impossible. Professional performance activities and teaching are jeopardized by vocal problems that undermine vocal function. Vocal health is a serious concern for choral directors and subsequently warrants investigation.During undergraduate teacher training courses, future choral directors may learn about vocal production or pedagogy. The studio voice lesson during teacher training is another opportunity for future choral directors to absorb healthy vocal habits. Choral directors may resort to singing or speaking over the sound of the piano, the choir singing, or ambient and environmental noise. Any of these behaviors can cause vocal problems if done regularly or in an abusive manner (Smith & Sataloff, 1999).Vocal problems develop after repetitive injurious behaviors. Over time, a choral director may develop hoarseness, breathiness, loss of flexibility or range, or undependable vocal production (Smith & Sataloff, 1999). Smith, Gray et al. (1997) found that teachers were more likely to report a voice problem than non-teachers. In a study conducted by Titze, Lemke et al. (1997), teachers constituted 20% of the voice clinic patient load, representing a rate five times greater than other professions seeking voice therapy. Chronic voice problems in teachers can adversely affect career longevity in terms of quality of life, job satisfaction, and financial stability (Smith, Gray et al., 1997).Research regarding the vocal demands of teaching is found in the literature of several disciplines, including speech pathology, vocal music performance, occupational hazards, and music education. Speech pathologists consider functional voice disorders as those disorders that develop as a result of improper use of the voice (Titze, 1994). Hoarseness is the most common manifestation of a vocal disorder in choral directors (Sataloff & Spiegel, 1991). Other vocal problems include excessive throat clearing, voice breaks, vocal fatigue, pain in the throat, and taut neck muscles (Cooper, 1996).Individuals entering the field of music education most likely have a great deal of private and/or group vocal instruction, but this training is no guarantee that they will always follow adequate and healthy vocal production practices. …" @default.
