Various voice pedagogues have developed grading rubrics to guide teachers in making informed repertoire decisions. Two small comparative studies of six grading rubrics were conducted in order to understand how songs are currently evaluated, what criteria are used, what the challenges are for assessing difficulty, and to determine whether or not there should be a standardized grading rubric. The utility of tailoring a rubric to a specific composer or genre is also considered.","PeriodicalId":511667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Singing","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141056501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evaluation framework addresses: (1) the Singing-Voice-Production-Chain (SVPC) describing the teacher's possibilities for affecting the student's voice production; (2) descriptive, correlational, and causal types of observations; (3) subjective versus objective information; (4) factual correctness; (5) describing how singing is or how it should be; and (6) usefulness of the information in a teaching situation. This framework will empower the reader to scrutinize the structure and quality of science-informed voice pedagogy texts more deeply, thus helping to move toward evidence-based information.","PeriodicalId":511667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Singing","volume":"22 S18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141049495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

State-of-the-art care for voice disorders involves a multidisciplinary model that has evolved since the 1980s. Optimal care includes not only a laryngologist who specializes in voice, but also a skilled speech-language pathologist, singing voice specialist, nurse clinician and/or an extended care provider such as a nurse practitioner or physician assistant; and arts medicine specialists in numerous other disciplines including pulmonology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, psychology, psychiatry and many other fields.

Amplifying Stark’s desire to find common ground among various schools of historical pedagogy as well as the nexus between the master–pupil tradition and science-informed modern era, Hoch contemplates shifts that have occurred in the past quarter century while also highlighting some of bel canto’s timeless principles. Hoch suggests an expansion of Stark’s definition of bel canto adapted to the needs of the modern voice pedagogue.","PeriodicalId":511667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Singing","volume":"19 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140086255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
