I commend the author on addressing the topic of rehabilitation of the injured singing voice. I am particularly impressed by the many applications for university level singing pedagogy and program administration. Vocal injury is a high risk for developing voices as well as professional singers, and injury prevention is best introduced during training. In the university setting, the student has a support system far greater than in the professional world, where vocal injury can end a career. Teachers and students should be encouraged to manage these problems early, with the involvement of an entire voice team. I hope this text will demystify singing voice rehabilitation and educate teachers as to their role and limits in voice disorder management. - Amy Lebowitz, M.S., CCC-SLP Assistant Director, Voice and Swallowing Institute The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary Chief Speech Pathologist Singing Voice Specialist New York, NY.
