Abstract
The purpose of this literature review was to identify scholarship pertaining to teachers’ vocal health and to discuss implications for music teachers. The review includes studies where researchers have addressed vocal health issues for K–12 teachers of all subjects as well as issues unique to music teachers. Risk factors, measurement, and treatments for teachers’ voice disorders were also explored. Much is written about the prevalence and treatment of voice disorders in the teaching profession, but there is less information about the prevention of the disorders. More research is needed that specifically concentrates on prevention, and vocal hygiene education in teacher training programs should be increased. Education about vocal health is needed, coupled with strategies for ensuring that teachers make the connection between what they learn in vocal hygiene education and how they manage their vocal health on a daily basis.
