Chapter Summary: The more we understand the anatomy of the voice, the better we will be equipped to teach students, and to help ourselves gain better understanding in our individual voices. Because no two voices, or VF's are the same, physical sensations will never be the same for two people. This is why anatomy is crucial to teaching healthy singing. Knowing and understanding the anatomy of the voice will help it to become more free and allow it to develop in its own natural path.
There are intrinsic laryngeal muscles and extrinsic. "If the intrinsic muscles of the larynx are to be free for automatic adjustment to the thought of pitch, then the extrinsic muscles must be in condition of what I term release."
intrinsic: TA, PAC, LCA, IA, & cricothyroid.
extrinsic: Sternohyoid, sternothyroid, omohyoid, thyrohyoid, digastric,stylohyoid, geniohyoid, genioglossus, hyoglossus, mylohyoid.
Key Terms: laryngeal elevators, laryngeal depressors,
Key Concepts: The more we understand the anatomy of the voice the better equipped we will be to teach healthy singing and voice habits.
Making Connections: I think that this semester has given me a lot to think about anatomically. I feel that I can grasp ideas (i.e. space between your back molars) better because of my understanding of the anatomy. I can see directly through my growth and learning how it will effect future students.
