FOREWORD
By Robert T. Sataloff MD, DMD
Chairman, Board of Directors, The Voice Foundation

Janice Chapman has been not only a highly successful singing teacher, but more importantly an international role model for interdisciplinary open mindedness in vocal pedagogy. Throughout her career, she has combined a solid knowledge of traditional voice teaching with an active commitment to deepen her understanding of the voice.

Over the last few decades, as physicians, scientists, speech-language pathologists, singing teachers, and acting teachers have collaborated in the evaluation of voice medicine and voice science as new specialties, our goal has always been to improve the care and training of our patients and students. Just as medicine has developed by integrating understanding and concepts from the voice studio, voice pedagogy has advanced by incorporating medical facts, scientific methodologies and analytical rigor into traditional studio approaches.

This book offers the insights of one experienced and successful teacher of singing and teacher of teachers. It is a fine example of progression from eighteenth century teaching tradition to pedagogical enlightenment of the twenty-first century. This process is defined by intellectual curiosity and interdisciplinary insights, superimposed on classical excellence and a willingness to change; and it represents the best of the present state of voice education and the hope of the future for teaching and learning.
