Associate professor Yvonne Gonzales Redman and undergraduate student Natalia Łastowiecka collaborated with Dr. Pasquale Bottalico in Speech and Hearing Science at U of I to design a study investigating the influence of room acoustics on singers’ voice production. 

Similar research on instrumentalists suggests that musical performers may be influenced to some extent by the acoustic environment, and this study demonstrates that singers also tend to adjust their vocal production when in different spaces. 

The American String Teachers Association National Conference will be in Atlanta in March. 

“The Internet of Musical Events: Digital Scholarship, Community, and the Archiving of Performances,” known as InterMusE, aims to preserve access to the record of historical live musical performances through digital archiving of concert ephemera such as programs and posters.

Project will make jazz archival collections more accessible to scholars, jazz fans, and musicians though digital means.

The results are in!
