“… 27 It is interesting to observe that some of them were over 45 years old and remain professionally active, which is an indication that singing can benefit the longevity of the voice. 28 , 29 , 30 In addition, 78.2% of the sample depicted five or more years of experience in classical singing indicating a greater vocal preparation in the face of the required technique and lesser influence of the perceived handicap.…”

“…Literature [16] describes the gradual trend of real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI) video as a teaching tool, which is a new learning resource for students of singing and spoken performance. Literature [17] aimed to detect subjective and objective voice quality and the effect of singing profession or singing studies on voice quality in women aged 60-75 years, and found mild impairment of objective and perceptual voices and no difference in speech impairments in this age group, as well as a significant lack of coarseness in the voices of women in professional singing-related fields compared to nonprofessional ones. Literature [18] reviewed the framework for teaching classical singing training and pointed out that a scientific framework for classical singing training has not yet been developed, and suggested that a high-quality methodology should be used to conduct a study on the design of the framework.…”

Incorporating American voice singing in singing and vocal music teaching has always been a problem with no standards and excessive teacher subjectivity. In this paper, based on a convolutional neural network, the American voice features are extracted using Mel spectrum, and the CBAM attention module is introduced to refine the American voice features and improve the influence of background noise on American voice extraction. The emotional features extracted under different scale frame lengths are feature fused to build a neural network model of multi-scale feature fusion to quantitatively evaluate the students’ American voice singing. After obtaining the consent of the leadership of a university, it was put into use in its music department to score the students by analyzing the status of their pronunciation of American vowels, consonants, and legato, and output the problems that the students had in a specific bar. The results showed that the more frames in the input vector, the more correct the model was, 89.32 ± 0.21 for 20 frames, increasing to 90.05 ± 1.32 for 40 frames. Student 1 scored 0.654 for American vowel pitch and 0.643 for consonants. Student 10 had the highest vowel pitch with a score of 0.718. Vowel scores were generally around 0.6. Students had the highest wavelength of 0.61, which does not correspond well with the original score. This study shows the direction for the strategy of integrating American singing into the vocal program and promoting the healthy development of vocal teaching.

“…As alterações vocais decorrentes do envelhecimento apresentam-se, no entanto, mais sutis em indivíduos que cantam¸ uma vez que o canto frequente atua como um moderador dos efeitos negativos relacionados a esse processo (4) . Ao comparar as vozes de idosos cantores e não cantores, os estudos demonstram que o primeiro grupo apresenta menos alterações de qualidade vocal, maior extensão vocal e tempos máximos de fonação mais longos (5)(6)(7) .…”

“…A prática do canto coral apresenta muitos benefícios físicos e psicossociais ao indivíduo idoso, mas também exige que os sistemas envolvidos com a fonação consigam suprir a demanda do uso vocal para o canto para que evitem gerar sobrecargas ao aparelho fonador, compensações musculares e o aumento do risco de ocorrer lesões laríngeas (8)(9)(10) . O envelhecimento é um processo natural e mesmo em idosos com um estilo de vida saudável e vocalmente ativos, as modificações anatômicas, fisiológicas e funcionais ao longo do tempo, podem gerar dificuldades e desvantagens vocais (7) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar o índice de desvantagem vocal para o canto de coristas idosos e verificar a sua relação com perfil, hábitos e condições de saúde dos participantes. Método Foram incluídos 110 indivíduos com 60 anos ou mais, participantes de coros amadores. Os coristas foram entrevistados a fim de verificar dados como idade, tempo de canto coral, classificação vocal e a presença de hábitos e condições de saúde adversas à produção vocal. Posteriormente, responderam o questionário “Índice de Desvantagem Vocal para o Canto (IDV-C)” que avalia a autopercepção do indivíduo em relação às experiências no uso da voz cantada. Resultados O escore do IDV-C teve uma mediana de 25, sendo a pontuação mínima 0 e a máxima 86. Os itens mais pontuados estavam relacionados aos aspectos físicos no uso da voz cantada: “Não consigo cantar agudo” (Q10) e “Minha garganta fica seca quando canto” (Q13). Verificou-se que os idosos com mais de 75 anos apresentaram maior desvantagem vocal para o canto ao comparar com os mais jovens (p=0,020). As coristas classificadas como contralto também apresentaram maior escore do IDV-C (p=0,023), assim como os indivíduos que relataram beber pouca água (p=0,007). Conclusão Os coristas deste estudo apresentaram um índice de desvantagem vocal para o canto compatível com vozes saudáveis para o canto. Ao verificar a relação do escore do IDV-C com as características dos participantes e a respeito dos hábitos e condições de saúde, constatou-se que os coristas idosos com mais de 75 anos, as coristas contralto e aqueles que afirmaram beber pouca água apresentaram escores maiores de desvantagem vocal para o canto.
