JOHAN SUNDBERG PRESENTS

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT BREATHING FOR SINGING?

Join us for an informative webinar with renowned voice scientist Johan Sundberg, presenting "What is So Special About Breathing for Singing."

In this informative session, Johan will share his expertise on the ever popular topic of breathing in singing.

Singing raises quite special demands on the control of the respiratory apparatus. Compression of the lungs, partly controlled by muscles, partly by elastic recoil of stretched tissue and partly by gravity, is the main tool for voice control. It must be tailored for pitch and loudness. In addition, the air volume contained in the lungs, ever-changing during singing, tends to affect voice timbre. Awareness of these facts can be valuable both to singers and teachers of singing.

Johan Sundberg (born in 1936, Ph.D. in musicology Uppsala University 1966, doctor honoris causae 1996 University of York, UK) has a personal Chair (Emeritus) in Music Acoustics at the department of Speech Music and Hearing (KTH), Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm.

He early became interested in the acoustical aspects of music, starting with a doctoral dissertation work on organ pipes. After the dissertation, singing voice and music performance have been his main research topics.

He led the music acoustics research group from 1970 to 2004. In Musikens Ljudlära Sundberg presents music acoustics in popularized form to the interested layman.

As the President of the Music Acoustics Committee of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, Sundberg has been the editor of eight volumes in a series of proceedings of public seminars on music acoustic themes arranged in Stockholm since 1975. Sundberg has also had extensive experience of performing music.

For 24 years he was a member of the Stockholm Bach Choir, 9 years as its president. He has studied singing for Dagmar Gustafson and made his public debut with a Lieder recital on his 50th birthday. He is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, of the Swedish Acoustical Society (President 1976-81) and a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America.

The presentation will conclude with a live Q&A, offering you the opportunity to ask questions and deepen your understanding. Don’t miss this chance to learn from one of the industry’s leading voices!
