The Effect of Voice Lessons on the Clinical and Perceptual Skills of Graduate Students in Speech and Hearing Science

Two groups of ten speech-language pathology graduate students were each given a half semester of singing lessons to determine whether voice lessons can have effect on their clinical and perceptual skills. Pre-, mid-, and posttests to measure various skills were designed and implemented. Statistically significant results of testing as well as the subjective responses of the students show that the lessons were effective in improving particular skills. This study supports efforts to integrate curricula in vocal performance and speech-language pathology.
