The aim of this study is to provide a framework to diagnose and correct vocal faults encountered in the training of the classical singing voice with regard to the foundational aspects of classical vocal technique. The study follows a qualitative research approach to investigate and interpret authoritative literature sources. The research problem of this dissertation is approached by means of a narrative literature review and is conducted within an interpretive paradigm. The investigation of the diagnosis and correction of vocal faults revealed that: Firstly, the foundational aspects of classical vocal technique include dynamic body alignment, breath management, phonation, resonation, articulation, registration and vibrato. Secondly, vocal faults are directly linked, or can be traced directly to the interdependent foundational aspects of classical vocal technique. Thirdly, vocal faults occur when sound is produced in such a way that it can cause temporary or permanent damage to the voice and occur when the foundational aspects involved in the act of singing are employed incorrectly. It is recommended that voice teachers assist singing students to understand the foundational aspects of the complex and intricate processes underlying the classical vocal technique to produce healthy vocal sound. Also, exercises that are employed to assist in the correction of vocal faults must focus on creating a healthy balance within the processes of the foundational aspects of classical vocal technique to prevent hyper- or hypo-functionality. ae2025 Music MMus Unrestricted SDG-03: Good health and well-being SDG-04: Quality education SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities 2018-07-16T07:53:55Z 2018-07-16T07:53:55Z 2018/04/23 2017 Dissertation Van Vuuren, C 2017, Exploring the diagnosis and correction of vocal faults encountered during the training of the classical singing voice, MMus Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/65618> A2018 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/65618 en © 2018 University of Pretoria.
