About this exposition

Name: May Kristin Svanholm Hegvold Main subject: Classical singing Research supervisor: Gerard Bouwhuis Title of research: You will never be a singer. 
 Research question: How can focus on primal sound and positive reinforcement make a better singer? 
Summary of research: Walking through the halls of a conservatoire or a music school, attending a rehearsal or an audition, one can feel the stress and second guessing in the air. Maybe even hear things like “I am not sure I can do this”, “my teacher said I am not ready - will I ever be?” or “at least I will have a nice hobby”. The use of the voice is strongly tied with joy, self-confidence, self-realisation, personality and, in the end, life. We use our voices daily and for everything, such as communicating, sighing, laughing, crying and, of course, singing. The voice is our own built-in instrument that can be use freely to make music. Because we carry it with us and it is such an important part of our bodies, it is a personal one. Often singers feel that criticism of their voice is an attack on who they are and their musicality. It is as unique as a fingerprint and it reveals who you are immediately. My theory is that if singers are trapped in a negative environment it can cause them to sing in a way that is not true to their voice or, in the worst case, stop singing. In this research I have looked at how healthy vocal technique, with focus on primal sound, and positive reinforcement in teaching can lead to better, more confident and healthier singing.
