PUBLICATIONS & CREATIVE ACTIVITIESI have published articles and papers in the disciplines of voice science and vocal pedagogy. This is where I have applied most of my creative energy in my professional life. My unique preparation to do so lies in my formal training as a singer and as a voice scientist. There has always been much interest in the singing profession concerning the science of the vocal instrument. My scientific training along with my thorough knowledge of the historical pedagogical literature has put me in a unique position to make a significant contribution to the field.

On April 19, 2011 I met with Dr. Ted Mau at the UT Southwestern Medical Center. Dr. Mau is an otolaryngologist with special training and interest in the singing voice.

Since that time I have referred at least six of our students to Dr. Mau for help with their singing voices. On two occasions I asked Dr. Mau if he could see our students who had no insurance and could not afford to pay him for his services.

He graciously agreed to do so. It is wonderful to have a colleague in the medical profession close by who knows the intricacies and peculiarities of the singing voice.
