Chapter Summary: As singers, we must have a basic understanding of the science of sound that will allow us to enhance our singing and eliminate wasted effort and damage we can do to our voices. For example, an understanding that high pitches have higher frequencies which can be heard easily over lower frequencies can help a singer understand that they don't have to sing those high pitches loudly to be heard. Understanding the difference between loudness and intensity can help a singer to realize that by putting more "ring" in the voice will allow them to be heard without pushing the voice to be louder.
Key Concept: Learning the physics of sound can help us to focus on problems our voice may be facing.
Key Terms: sound, frequency & pitch, condensations, rarifactions, pitch, noise, Bernoulli effect, intensity & loudness, Venturi effect, wave forms, resonance, formants, sine wave, overtones, time, beat phenomenon,
Making Connections: Throughout this semester, I have been gaining a greater understanding behind the science of sound and I didn't even really realize it. Reading this chapter and learning more about frequency, resonance, and intensity helped everything to click!
