The Routledge Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing,
Volume II: Education examines the many methods and motivations for
vocal pedagogy, promoting singing not just as an art form arising
from the musical instrument found within every individual but also
as a means of communication with social, psychological, and
didactic functions. Presenting research from myriad fields of study
beyond music-including psychology, education, sociology, computer
science, linguistics, physiology, and neuroscience-the contributors
address singing in three parts: Learning to Sing Naturally Formal
Teaching of Singing Using Singing to Teach In 2009, the Social
Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada funded a
seven-year major collaborative research initiative known as
Advancing Interdisciplinary Research in Singing (AIRS). Together,
global researchers from a broad range of disciplines addressed
three challenging questions: How does singing develop in every
human being? How should singing be taught and used to teach? How
does singing impact wellbeing? Across three volumes, The Routledge
Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing consolidates the
findings of each of these three questions, defining the current
state of theory and research in the field. Volume II: Education
focuses on the second question and offers an invaluable resource
for anyone who identifies as a singer, wishes to become a singer,
works with singers, or is interested in the application of singing
for the purposes of education.
