The Effects of Vocal Register Use and Age on the Perceived Vocal Health of Male Elementary Music Teachers
Fisher, Ryan A.; Scott, Julie K.
Update: Applications of Research in Music Education, v33 n1 p5-10 Nov 2014
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of vocal register use and age on the perceived vocal health of male elementary music teachers. Participants (N = 160) consisted of male elementary music teachers from two neighboring states in the south-central region of the United States. Participants responded to various demographic questions and completed the Singing Voice Handicap Index-10. To examine the possible effects of vocal register use and age on the participants' vocal health, a two-way, between-subjects analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted. Vocal register use and age served as the independent variables with the Singing Voice Handicap Index-10 as the dependent variable. Results from the ANOVA revealed no main effect for vocal register use, F(2,147) = 2.20, p = 0.89, ?[superscript 2] = 0.03, or age, F(3,147) = 0.98, p = 0.41, ?[superscript 2] = 0.02. No statistically significant interaction was found.
