Pedagogy of Music: Registration Phonation – Registers – Resonation register – area of the voice (chest, head, mix, etc.) registration – approach to the different areas

Naming the Registers: heavy – light modal – loft chest – head/falsetto whistle* flageolet vocal fry* mix voice belt schrei Strohbass What is involved in registration? longitudinal tension mass breath flow/energy length muscular involvement (TA/CT) What happens in chest voice? Cords are shorter, less longitudinal tension, more mass, low breath flow/energy, TA What happens in head voice? Cords are longer, more longitudinal tension, less mass, more breath flow/energy, CT What happens in whistle? Cords are shortest, most longitudinal tension, very small mass, most breath flow/energy, CT The entire cord doesn’t vibrate (larger posterior glottic gap), arytenoids come together What happens in vocal fry? Cords are shortest, least longitudinal tension, most mass, more breath energy, TA/LCA
