Abstract | Recently, several studies have explored the efficacy of music, and in particular, singing, as an effective psychological and physiological therapy. These benefits have been reinforced by social media through memes and news reports advocating the benefits of singing. With this information, patients with chronic respiratory disease and others with respiratory ailments may seek out opportunities to sing. With evidence that singing can improve respiratory symptoms, the widespread dissemination of this information through traditional and social media, and the possibility that a patient with respiratory disease might seek out private lessons, the role, if any, a private voice teacher might play in the use of singing as a treatment for respiratory disease was explored. In this paper, the current body of research involving singing as a treatment for respiratory health and symptoms are summarized. Themes supporting the use of singing as adjunctive therapy are identified and recommendations were made for the voice teacher who teaches patients with respiratory disease |
