Perfilvocal e medidas fonatórias de coristas idosospré e pós intervenção fonoaudiológica

Abstract

Choral singing translates into a group of people who come together with the aim of singing and expressing themselves through music, reflecting in their sound the group's harmony, harmony and sung vocal emission. The objective was to verify the results of the profile and phonatory measures before and after speech therapy intervention of a group of elderly choristers from Goiânia. Method: action research, experimental, qualitative and quantitative, approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás (CAEE 81485424.3.0000.0037, Opinion 7.016.724) where all participants signed the free and informed consent form TCLE. It was carried out in the rehearsal room at the headquarters of ADUFG (Union of Teachers of the Federal Universities of Goiás). The sample was made up of 19 choristers participating in the ADUFG choir, aged over 60 years. Participants responded to a questionnaire to characterize the participants and measurements of maximum phonation time were measured using the emission of the vowels /a/, /i/, /u/, emission of the fricatives /s/ and /z/ and counting numbers. Participants had 6 speech therapy interventions over 6 weeks, occurring once a week for 20 minutes, with specific exercises for this purpose and after this period they were reevaluated again. Conclusion: Differences were observed with an increase in phonatory measures after the speech therapy intervention and the male group achieved better performance.
