Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Perceptions of Vocal Quality and Function with Self-Esteem in Older Adults by : Victoria Berto
Download or read book The Relationship Between Perceptions of Vocal Quality and Function with Self-Esteem in Older Adults written by Victoria Berto and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alterations to the voice that occur in older adulthood include changes in vocal fold mass, inadequate approximation of the vocal folds, tremor, and air loss (Lundy, Silva, Casiano, Lu, & Xue, 1998). Many of the vocal changes that occur in older adults, those aged 65 and older (Colby & Ortman, 2015), may affect their social and emotional well-being. While some persons are not affected by life span vocal changes, others suffer from co-occuring depression, anxiety, and social withdrawal (Epstein, Hirani, Stygall, & Newman, 2009; Mirza, Ruiz, Baum, & Staab, 2003; Monini, Filippi, Baldini, & Barbara, 2015). There have been numerous studies examining the relationship between vocal and emotional changes; yet no studies, to date, have analyzed the relationship between older adults' perception of vocal change and self-esteem. Therefore, this research explored the association between perceptions of age-related voice problems and self esteem in older adults. This research also examined gender differences regarding self-esteem levels and vocal concerns, and explored participants' cognition levels, awareness of vocal change, and awareness of vocal resources.
Book Synopsis Voicing Girlhood in Popular Music by : Jacqueline Warwick
Download or read book Voicing Girlhood in Popular Music written by Jacqueline Warwick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume explores the girl’s voice and the construction of girlhood in contemporary popular music, visiting girls as musicians, activists, and performers through topics that range from female vocal development during adolescence to girls’ online media culture. While girls’ voices are more prominent than ever in popular music culture, the specific sonic character of the young female voice is routinely denied authority. Decades old clichés of girls as frivolous, silly, and deserving of contempt prevail in mainstream popular image and sound. Nevertheless, girls find ways to raise their voices and make themselves heard. This volume explores the contemporary girl’s voice to illuminate the way ideals of girlhood are historically specific, and the way adults frame and construct girlhood to both valorize and vilify girls and women. Interrogating popular music, childhood, and gender, it analyzes the history of the all-girl band from the Runaways to the present; the changing anatomy of a girl’s voice throughout adolescence; girl’s participatory culture via youtube and rock camps, and representations of the girl’s voice in other media like audiobooks, film, and television. Essays consider girl performers like Jackie Evancho and Lorde, and all-girl bands like Sleater Kinney, The Slits and Warpaint, as well as performative 'girlishness' in the voices of female vocalists like Joni Mitchell, Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Kathleen Hanna, and Rebecca Black. Participating in girl studies within and beyond the field of music, this book unites scholarly perspectives from disciplines such as musicology, ethnomusicology, comparative literature, women’s and gender studies, media studies, and education to investigate the importance of girls’ voices in popular music, and to help unravel the complexities bound up in music and girlhood in the contemporary contexts of North America and the United Kingdom.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between vocal mutation and music self-concept. The problems of this study were 1) to design a measurement instrument of self-concept for females in grades three through twelve, and 2) to determine the relationship between vocal mutation in female students and musical self-concept.A researcher developed and administered an instrument to measure musical self-concept and adjusted and administered an instrument for self-classification of vocal mutation stages to 324 females (n = 324) in grades three through twelve. Both choral and non-choral students served as participants. Analysis of the results showed a moderate inverse relationship between musical self-concept and vocal mutation, meaning that as voices mutated, self-concept declined. These results were significant (p

Book Synopsis Factors Contributing to the Development of Vocal Self-concept in Adolescent Females Experiencing Vocal Expansion by : Cathy Nichols May Dunstan
Download or read book Factors Contributing to the Development of Vocal Self-concept in Adolescent Females Experiencing Vocal Expansion written by Cathy Nichols May Dunstan and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to identify factors contributing to the development of vocal self-concept in adolescent females who are experiencing vocal expansion, previously called vocal mutation. The central question for this study was: What are the factors contributing to the development of musical self-concept in adolescent females experiencing vocal expansion? The guiding questions sought to find the rehearsal practices, rehearsal experiences, and outside influences that have an effect, either positive or negative, on vocal self-concept (VSC). Case study method was used so that information to answer these questions could come directly from individuals whose VSCs were currently developing. Four adolescent females experiencing vocal expansion served as participants for this study. All four females participated in the chorus of a racially diverse middle class suburban middle school. Data were the statements from the participants, statements from the choral director, and observations of the researcher. Each participant was a bounded case. The researcher coded the data, analyzed each case according to the research questions, and performed cross case analysis to derive meanings from the data. Fourteen themes emerged from the analysis. Participants stated that the following affected their vocal self concept: vocal technique instruction, education about vocal expansion, confidence, the disposition of the teacher, sight singing instruction, hard work, experiencing vocal expansion, and comments from others. The voice part to which they are assigned and literature choice only affected their vocal self concept as it applied to keeping them in a range in which they could sing. The following experiences did not affect the VSC of these participants: the inclusion of non-singing state standards, changes in instruction, the attitudes of others toward rehearsal, and the attitudes of others outside of chorus. Two rehearsal practices that affected VSC relate directly to vocal expansion, vocal technique instruction and education about vocal expansion. Vocal technique instruction, breath management and vocal focus, was the only rehearsal practice that improved vocal expansion characteristics. Education about vocal expansion and the characteristics also raised VSC. These females needed to know that vocal disturbances they were experiencing were normal and most importantly would go away with growth and development..

Book Synopsis Voice Attractiveness by : Benjamin Weiss
Download or read book Voice Attractiveness written by Benjamin Weiss and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-10 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses various aspects of acoustic–phonetic analysis, including voice quality and fundamental frequency, and the effects of speech fluency and non-native accents, by examining read speech, public speech, and conversations. Voice is a sexually dimorphic trait that can convey important biological and social information about the speaker, and empirical findings suggest that voice characteristics and preferences play an important role in both intra- and intersexual selection, such as competition and mating, and social evaluation. Discussing evaluation criteria like physical attractiveness, pleasantness, likability, and even persuasiveness and charisma, the book bridges the gap between social and biological views on voice attractiveness. It presents conceptual, methodological and empirical work applying methods such as passive listening tests, psychoacoustic rating experiments, and crowd-sourced and interactive scenarios and highlights the diversity not only of the methods used when studying voice attractiveness, but also of the domains investigated, such as politicians’ speech, experimental speed dating, speech synthesis, vocal pathology, and voice preferences in human interactions as well as in human–computer and human–robot interactions. By doing so, it identifies widespread and complementary approaches and establishes common ground for further research.

Book Synopsis Working the Margins of Community-Based Adult Learning by : Shauna Butterwick
Download or read book Working the Margins of Community-Based Adult Learning written by Shauna Butterwick and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers stories about how various art and creative forms of expression are used to enable voices from the margins, that is, of underrepresented individuals and communities, to take shape and form. Voice is not enough; stories and truths must be heard, must be listened to. And so the stories gathered here also speak to how creative processes enable conditions for listening and the development of empathy for other perspectives, which is essential for democracy. The chapters, including some that describe international projects, illustrate a variety of art-making practices such as poetry, visual art, film, theatre, music, and dance, and how they can support individuals and groups at the edges of mainstream society to tell their story and speak their truths, often the first steps to valuing one’s identity and organizing for change. Some of the authors are community-based artists who share stories thus bringing these creative endeavors into the wider conversation about the power of arts-making to open up spaces for dialogue across differences. Art practices outlined in this book can expand our visions by encouraging critical thinking and broadening our worldview. At this time on the earth when we face many serious challenges, the arts can stimulate hope, openness, and individual and collective imaginations for preferred futures. Inspiration comes from people who, at the edges of their community, communicate their experience.

This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescenceâ€"beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€"is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€"rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.
