Singing for a Lifetime: Rediscovering and Cultivating the Potential of the Aging Voice
October 22, 11 a.m. CST
Jennaya Robison, presenter
Singing is an athletic endeavor, and like any physical activity, it can bring concerns about changing vocal capacity as we age. But there is good news: singers have far more agency than they realize to strengthen, refine, and even improve their voices over time. In this session, Jennaya Robison will share practical, research-informed strategies for maintaining healthy vocal function at every stage of life. Participants will explore exercises that build efficient vocal coordination, techniques for developing consistency, and rehearsal approaches that help singers thrive. Music directors will leave with concrete tools and regimens to support their ensembles, empowering singers to enjoy a lifetime of healthy, expressive music-making.
