Wireless Soundfield Amplification

May 1, 2005

Ever feel like you are getting older in your own classroom? Poor diet, lack of sleep, no exercise – the usual culprits – gang up on music teachers. We’re resilient folks and bounce back to our passion; but there is one sign of trouble we can not ignore: vocal fatigue. And should vocal fatigue develop into a vocal disorder because you tried to wait it out, your entire teaching career could easily be in jeopardy.

What should you do if your voice is showing tell-tale signs of distress? While sleep and rest are natural remedies, the rude reality is your voice never rests in the music classroom because these classes are larger and noisier than traditional academic setting. Fortunately, there are solutions available to this career threatening problem.

The three most recommended remedies are: 1) soundfield amplification, 2) vocal therapy, and 3) acoustic treatment of individual classrooms. The long term risks and benefits of amplification in classrooms have not been fully explored for vocal disorders but there is building evidence from new research studies indicating that this remedy can markedly improve learning in the classroom as well as provide relief to the teacher’s voice.
