Singing Voice Teaching and Voice Science: Where is the Meeting Point?

Abstract: Five panelists gathered at the 14th Pan European Voice Conference for a round table session called Voice Science—Do We Need It? Finding Meeting Points Between the Science and the Craft . All were experienced singers, and most were also teachers, with all but one of them a published researcher. Each panelist was tasked with addressing the challenges of aligning two diverse communities of practice: namely, voice science and singing voice pedagogy. This article is a report of the individual perspectives of the panelists along with the session chair’s summary of the presentations and questions from the audience.
