FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description When youre working with singers, youre in the business of feelings and, by extension, the business of the nervous system. Emotions play a crucial role in the applied studio, and in the present age, it is becoming ever more critical for singing teachers to understand the world of emotion and, especially, the impacts of trauma on the voice. The statistics are astonishing: over half of American 17-year olds have experienced trauma or witnessed it firsthand; the next person you meet is more likely to carry nervous system trauma than to be left-handed.For the first time, this interdisciplinary volume collects, synthesizes, and summarizes existing research for singing teachers and other voice practitioners. It presents empirical data and case studies from practitioners in psychology, music therapy, vocal instruction, and speech pathology, and it imparts practical application and important interventions for voice instruction, concluding with trauma awareness as a social justice practice.When any human stands onstage or even sings in a lesson, their nervous system is activated based on the fundamentals of human biology. The most common physiological effects of trauma include restriction of breath, an exaggerated response to fight-or-flight situations, constriction of the throat, limited facial expressions or physical gestures, and a decreased tolerance for risk, all of which come into play in the training of singers and in performance situations. By recognizing common signs of trauma and developing studio practices that offer the potential to convey safety and promote healing, teachers can feel more empowered to make safe and healthy progress with their students for a lifetime of reliable technique and satisfaction in singing.

This book will help teachers of all levels evaluate their practices and seek ways to create a more supportive environment for all their students.Emily Jaworski Koriath pulls back the curtain on voice studio dynamics and offers creative solutions. This thoughtful book is essential reading for both singers and voice teachers.Koriath explains that the book is intended for "the widest possible readership." This may include obvious groups--like singers, singing teachers, and speech-language pathologists--but also psychologists and other mental health professionals who work with singers. She admits that trauma is not a new phenomenon, though it is currently having "a cultural moment." As this moment and current interest in the topic extends to voice pedagogy, Trauma and the Voice is both a pioneering and essential resource.This is a useful guide on how trauma and loss lead to immediate and long-lasting influences on mind and body, across the lifespan and even generations. A deliberate and sustained focus on voice qualities, as this book details, concurs with developmental science, and deepens our understanding of the effects of loss and trauma on human life.
