D.M.A. Research Project. PEDAGOGUES’ PERCEIVED BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS TO RESOLUTION OF VOCAL HEALTH PROBLEMS IN COLLEGIATE SINGERS. Due to extensive curricular and extracurricular vocal demands, collegiate student singers are at high risk for phonotraumatic injury. Collegiate voice pedagogues have frequent one-on-one interaction with young aspiring performers, may be first to detect a voice problem, and may participate in an injured student’s recovery. Pedagogues may encounter common barriers and facilitators to the resolution of student vocal health problems. This qualitative research study aimed to identify these common barriers and facilitators through content analysis of 15 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with collegiate voice pedagogues. Interpretations, conclusions, and recommendations are offered by the author in light of the study findings
