New Insights into Laryngeal Articulation and Breathing Control of Trumpeters: Biomedical Signals and Auditory Perception
Source abstract
Abstract
The activation of the musculature of the larynx of six professional trumpeters during performance was analysed using audio, electroglottography (EGG), oxygen saturation, and heart rate signals. Two university trumpet teachers listened to the audio recordings, to evaluate the participants’ laryngeal effort during performance. Statistical analysis was performed to explore if there were any correlations between parameters extracted from the EGG data and the responses to the audio stimuli by the listeners. Two hundred and fifty (250) laryngeal articulations were identified where laryngeal raising and effort was observed during trumpet performance. It was not possible to find any correlation between the EGG data and the auditory evaluation results, but both listeners could clearly hear the laryngeal effort.
