7th International Physiology and Acoustics of Singing Conference

The PAS7+ conference promotes synergistic relationships between physiological and acoustical science, pedagogy, voice habilitation and vocal performance. Since the inception of the PAS conference series in 2002, leading voice researchers and pedagogues from around the globe have gathered to share their work. The outcomes of the conference yield several benefits: areas of singing in need of further examination are codified, collaborative relationships between scientists and practitioners are established, and objective vocal pedagogy is promoted.

Conference topics include (but are not limited to):

  • Evidence-based voice pedagogy
  • Knowledge transfer between pedagogy and science
  • Physics and physiology of singing voice production
  • Medical aspects of singing and voice pedagogy
  • Neurological and neuromuscular aspects of singing
  • The psychology of singing
  • (Ethno) Musicological aspects of singing
  • Singers in the marketplace
  • Amateur and professional singing
  • Singing throughout the lifetime

Ian Howell

Short Bio
Ian Howell
Dr. Ian Howell is a member of the voice faculty of the New England Conservatory of Music where he directs the graduate voice pedagogy program, teaches studio voice, and coaches students in Baroque voice repertory.

Dr. Howell's scholarly work explores the special psychoacoustics of the singing voice, with an eye toward practical applications for singers and voice teachers. Human senses interpret reality according to a dependable set of rules. These same senses also perceive greater detail once we internalize more precise labels and conceptual models. Dr. Howell’s work produces new aural/visual models that better characterize the perceptual qualities of sung vowels and voice registration. He unpacks and identifies the perceptually coherent components of a vowel, showing how absolute, objective labels apply to the relative scale of tonal brightness.

Ian Howell has taught at Yale, Swarthmore, and Rutgers Camden, and was a 2013 NATS Teaching Intern. He was the founding editor of TheCounterTenorVoice.com, an online journal covering career and technique issues for singers, and has been published in the Journal of Voice, the Journal of Singing, Classical Singer, and VOICEPrints.

He holds a Master of Music Degree in Voice from Yale University and a Doctor of Musical Arts Degree from the New England Conservatory.
