Abstract:This second article of the "Time Spent" series examines the eight-hour workday and considers its potential usefulness or applicability to studio voice teaching. The article explores the origin of the eight-hour workday and provides perspectives on how effective (or ineffective) it is in other fields, especially for those considered to be "knowledge workers." It then presents alternative models to the eight-hour workday, including advocacy for shorter overall hours of work each day or interspersed periods of rest throughout the workday. Finally, the article offers suggestions for voice teachers as to how they may adjust their schedules to bring more focus and energy to a full day of teaching.

Abstract:Live musicians inhabit a space at the intersection of emotion and music. Singers must navigate interactions between emotions and their motivation to participate in music-music making, their own emotional responses to the music they perform, and the emotional expectations of the audiences for whom they perform. If ignored, these interactions have the potential to derail musical success, but handled correctly, they provide the opportunity for singers to develop lasting strategies for meaningful musical experiences.

Abstract:Throughout written history, the disease of tuberculosis has been present. We see examples of tuberculosis in the opera characters of Violetta and Mimi. Often overlooked laryngeal tuberculosis should be of concern to singers because long-term effects could end a singing career. In this article, the history of tuberculosis and the extrapulmonary disease of laryngeal tuberculosis is examined.

Abstract:This column, renamed "Collaborations" and the first under the new editorship of the Journal of Singing, pays tribute to the groundbreaking contributions of the inimitable and indomitable collaborative pianist Margo Garrett. As an inspiration and role model for so many musicians, Margo Garrett has had a particularly significant influence on the fields of collaborative and vocal arts. The authors consider the pianist's role as mentor, and celebrate the qualities that have made Margo Garrett such an exceptional model of mentoring with interviews of colleagues, performing partners, friends and former collaborative piano students.

Debra Greschner reviews three recent publications. Perfect Italian Diction for Singers: An Authoritative Guide by Timothy Cheek and Anna Toccafondi (Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2022) is highly recommended as a guide to achieving accurate Italian lyric diction that is informed by current practice and pedagogy. The text includes an overview of the language and insight into its salient features. Musical Theater Voice Pedagogy: The Art and Science by Christopher Arneson and Kirsten S. Brown (Gahanna, OH: Inside View Press, 2023) provides information to classically trained pedagogues who wish to begin teaching musical theater singers. The book discusses musical theater pedagogy from perspectives of both voice science and artistry. Uniting Music and Poetry in Twentieth-Century Spain by Nelson R. Orringer (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2021) proffers a study of nine pairings of twentieth century Spanish composers and poets.

Abstract:Music was an abiding presence in the fiction of Pulitzer Prize-winning American writer Willa Cather. This article examines one of Cather’s early reviews of a concert by the touring English contralto Clara Butte and shows how the review forms a complement to the kind of music criticism being published by major American newspapers of the period.

Abstract:While World Voice Day has become international in scope, there remains no single website or resource devoted to the occasion. The interdisciplinary nature of the day and its associated events also results in various professional organizations each having their own “take” on World Voice Day; thus, information is not centralized, resulting in a plethora of websites and articles on the internet, sometimes with conflicting information. This article strives to unite these disparate strands, provide a brief history of World Voice Day in scholarship and practice, and offer some thoughts for voice pedagogues seeking to observe the occasion.
