Singing lessons as a path to well-being in later life
Seventy-two persons, who had begun voice lessons after 40 years of age, were invited to complete an online survey that focused on the singers’ experience, motivation, goals, health and well-being, repertoire, practice, and demographic information; 48 respondents (33 females, mean age 60.81 years, range 48.83–82.08, SD = 6.99) completed the questionnaire. Most participants indicated that enjoyment and personal growth motivated their taking lessons…

The Routledge Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing: Wellbeing
Several studies have shown that speech production can deteriorate significantly with age.Results demonstrate strong sex-specific changes in speaking fundamental frequency (F0)1, whereby the pitch of a woman's voice becomes lower with age and the pitch of a man's voice becomes higher (e.g
Does non-native language influence learning a melody? A comparison of native English and native Chinese university students on the Airs Test Battery of Singing Skills
The AIRS Test Battery of Singing Skills (ATBSS) is a protocol for acquiring data about a wide range of singing abilities, one of which is the ability to learn an unfamiliar song. This test component presents a song with English lyrics. We examined the role of native language of the singer in this task by comparing the sung productions of the song by native English versus native Chinese students. Following a pilot study that suggested the impact o…
Advancing interdisciplinary research in singing through the Airs Test Battery of Singing Skills
The four articles in this issue are all products of a major collaborative research initiative called Advancing Interdisciplinary Research in Singing (AIRS).1 The AIRS project, directed by Annabel Cohen, received funding for seven years from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), starting in 2009, encouraging singing research across disciplines and cultures. There are three primary research themes focusing respectiv…
The Airs Test Battery of Singing Skills: Rationale, item types, and lifespan scope
Singing abilities begin in early childhood and continue throughout life. Audiovideo recordings of singing behaviours collected from a wide variety of individuals can provide a foundation for exploring the complexities of singing acquisition. The AIRS Test Battery of Singing Skills (ATBSS) was developed to provide this foundation using a standard protocol appropriate for longitudinal testing of persons across the lifespan, from different cultures,…
Associationism and musical soundtrack phenomena
It is often assumed that musical soundtracks influence the interpretation of film. Film music theorists further assume that such musical influences depend on the combination of meanings derived from musical and film material. The present article suggests that these assumptions about film music fall within an associationist tradition and translate into testable hypotheses about mental function. This view is supported first by a discussion of the r…
