#195: Caring for the Voice After COVID-19 (with Dr. Lynn Eustis) (REPLAY) - a podcast by National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM)
from 2022-03-28T12:32:08
Today’s episode comes as a listener request, and a very appropriate one at that. Allow me to read a portion of an email I received from a listener:
Dear Ministry Monday, I hope this message finds you very well! I am writing to you today as I feel you are the perfect person to receive this idea. I wanted to suggest an inclusion of Dr. Lynn Eustis’s Ministry Monday presentation about voice care somewhere in the agenda.
The reason I am forwarding this request is due to the hiatus several choirs have been on after Christmas. The strain of Holy Week can be damaging if voices are not “in shape” to sing the repertoire.
While I am just a volunteer musician at the Basic NPM level who joined the organization last May, I believe this topic is relevant to all.
We couldn’t agree with you more. Today’s episode is directed to all vocalists serving in the Church today: choir members, cantors and choir directors alike. We’ve been using our voices differently in the past two years, and our conversation with Dr. Lynn Eustis is a great reminder to re-condition our voices with care. For more information on this topic, check out the April edition of Pastoral Music Magazine, NPM’s quarterly magazine published for its members. Pastoral Music Magazine is available to all Standard and Premium members of NPM. Not a member of NPM, or are you a Basic member who would like to receive it?

And now to the episode at hand!
