Voice and health in dialog

The content on this page was translated automatically.

How are voice, physical health and artistic practice connected? Which medical, neurological and psychosomatic perspectives are particularly relevant for students and teachers at a university of music?

The Center for Music and Health and the Vocal Section invite you to an interdisciplinary event on the topic of vocal health. Three keynote speeches will open up different perspectives on voice and health. The focus will be on hormonal influences on the voice in different female life phases, connections between migraine, music and voice as well as an overview of voice disorders and their physical and functional causes.
The presentations combine medical principles with practical questions from everyday artistic life. Topics covered include hormonal changes in the voice, the effects of migraines on musical performance and singing, and the voice as a physical and artistic means of expression. Questions of self-care and how to deal with vocal stress will also be addressed.

A joint final discussion will provide an opportunity for exchange with students and teachers.
