About the Author

Attending her first TVF Symposium in 2011 was a revelatory experience for Martha Howe. An elite performer for over three decades on opera, concert and recital stages, Martha was leery of “too much science” in the art of singing. What she found, was philosopher-scientists, singing-scientists, performers turned scientists, and an array of curious researchers creating practical experiments. The resulting body of knowledge transformed her understanding of her own voice and of the voices she taught in studio. It turns out that there are still plenty of mysteries, and the deeper understanding only adds to the ability to create art.
