About Us
The Institute for Healthy Singing was created by Dr. William Baker and Lynn Swanson, MME as an educational outreach by the Choral Foundation in January 2015. The institute's mission is to present healthy voice use instruction, printed materials, webinars, clinics, and workshops for music educators, church musicians and singers, vocal instructors, public speakers, broadcast journalists, and child-to-aging adult singers. We are voice teachers, scientists, clinicians and performers who have a shared commitment to the well-being and optimal performance of the human voice. Our multidisciplinary approach brings together a wealth of knowledge and expertise benefitting voice-users of all ages.
Dr. Jamea J. Sale was appointed director of the institute in September of 2018, and under her leadership, the IHS expanded to include the performance of research devoted to peer reviewed vocal health and pedagogy. The organization was renamed The Institute for Healthy Singing and Voice Research in 2022.
IHS&VR Fellows: Our fellows are devoted clinicians, teachers, and researchers committed to quality music education scholarship. Each is highly trained in their specialties, having earned degrees and certifications from the University of Kansas Vocal/Choral MEMT Department, Northwestern University, University of Washington, Millikin University, University of Iowa, Rice University, The Royal Academy of Music in London, The Boston Conservatory, and the VoiceCare Network.
Kenya Music Education Outreach: In early 2022, the IHS&VR learned of a need for music education support in the Nandi Hills region of Kenya after governmental changes made music proficiency a requirement for high school graduation. The Institute for Healthy Singing and Voice Research has collected donations of band and classroom instruments for schools, and in March 2023, three fellows of the IHS&VR traveled to Kapkemich, Kenya to provide teacher education. Donations of music materials for the Kapkemich schools are ongoing, and the Kenyans have requesting additional training. Two teaching teams plan to return to the country during 2024. Funding is critically needed to continue the outreach. Please follow our progress at our Kenya Blog. To support the mission with your donations of music instruments and educational materials, contact us at JSale@HealthySinging.org or make a financial gift at Make-a-Gift.
