Thinking Outside the Voice Box
MUE 595 (3 Credits)
Bridget Sweet
This course is designed to encourage new and holistic perspectives of the singing voice, especially voices of middle and high school singers. We will step away from typical considerations of voice change and unpack the experience within the bigger picture of adolescence. Topics will include exploration of the theory of simulacrum to challenge ways that people have been socialized to perceive voice change for decades; physical development, including body, brain, hormones, and auditory system; vocal anatomy and physiology in general, as well as during [assigned at birth] male and [assigned at birth] female voice change; and considerations for gender expansive students during voice change. Facets of the somatic method, Body Mapping, will be taught in connection to breathing and vocal production. And with all of this in mind, we will consider choral repertoire and the needs of students within our individual music programs. Ultimately, the goal is for participants to leave the course inspired to develop and strengthen teaching practices with adolescent singers as well as challenge dialogue about the changing voice within the larger music education profession.
