Abstract

Introduction: Classical music, over the centuries, has been an artistic expression that transcends time and culture, incorporating the complexity of musical composition and virtuosity in interpretation (Pires, 2019). As a result, classical singers play a fundamental role in the performance of symphonic choir works, elevating them to a level of musical excellence (Rezende et.al., 2015). Objective: to verify the vocal handicap index in classical singing of members of the Young Symphonic Choir of the Escola do Futuro em Artes Basileu França. Methodology: The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás (CAAE 78333024.3.0000.0037/Opinion: 6.780.499) and all participants signed an informed consent form. 42 (forty-two) individuals participated, members of the Young Symphony Choir of Escola Do Futuro em Artes Basileu França, 22 (twenty-two) men and 20 (twenty) women, with an average age of 27.14 years (being the minimum of 17 and a maximum of 55 years), distributed into seven groups, according to vocal classification: 13 (thirteen) sopranos, 6 (six) mezzosopranos, 1 (one) alto, 9 (nine) tenors, 1 (one) ) against tenor, 6 (six) baritones and 6 (six) basses who answered a questionnaire to characterize the participants and the classical singing vocal handicap index protocol-IDCC. Results: The average value found for the IDCC protocol index was 23.1 points, corresponding to 19.2% of the 120 points of the protocol applied to singers of the Young Symphony Choir of Goiás. The biggest disadvantage perceived by the choristers is found in the subscale defect (average of 10.92 points), since its score is significantly higher than the disability (average of 7.09 points) and disadvantage (average of 5.09 points) subscales.
