Hi Listers,
Well, we just made it through the first week of classes at the Summer Vocology Institute in Denver. Dr. Titze teaches us from the new edition of his book, "Principles of Voice Production". We have class for three hours per day Mon-Fri and the afternoons are devoted entirely to the homework- which has been the working out of very difficult calc equations from Dr. Titze's text. We already have an exam on chapters 1-4 on Monday. And an exam on 4-8 next Monday! The pace here is extremely fast indeed. But, there were about 22 people accepted here and they are all very friendly. We offer help to each other whenever possible. Dr. Titze is very friendly and he presents the material with excitement and complete command over the difficult aspects of voice science. Yesterday we all sang for each other. Dr. Titze LOVES to sing- so he said this will be a weekly affair. In two more weeks we move on to Block 2, which is "instrumentation for voice analysis". Well, I better start studying for that exam!
Take Care All,
Taylor L. Ferranti DMA Candidate in Voice/Voice Science Louisiana State University
