A selection of mini-courses have been developed as aids for understanding
some of the more difficult concepts presented in the text, Principles
of Voice Production (click here to order the book). Note that a refresher on basic acoustics
can serve as a jump-start for those who haven't had a recent course
in college physics. The text's glossary is also available for easy
reference.
The rest of the tutorials are organized by chapter.
You will notice that we did not develop tutorial material for Chapters
1 (Laryngeal Anatomy) and 12 (Voice Disorders). We think that those
topics are so well described by others that we've provided links
to a few recommended sites created by others:
