Report by Lieve Jansen on the pre-symposium “Holistic approach in
silent reflux and voice” and symposium “Freeing the sounding body” Salzburg 22-24
August 2014
Pre-symposium “Holistic approach in Silent reflux and voice” 22 august
Within mind our Evta-Be belief that the
voice best should be approached in a
holistic way, my attention was immediately
drawn to the announcement of a
symposium that approached the voice from
different facets entitled "Freeing the
sounding body" That this symposium took
place in the city of music and voice,
Salzburg, was an additional value.
The pre-symposium “Holistic approach in silent reflux and voice” made the expectations complete.
All abstract of the symposium can be downloaded on http://www.voicesymposium.com/download-
the-abstracts/
The first day there were lectures on the hot item reflux and voice approach and treatment and
workshops for physicians as well for voice teachers and therapists.
The invisible instrument “Voice” became more and more “visible” thanks to research during one and
a half century and today even not every question is answered.
It was very interesting to listen to eminence grise and well known researcher Prof. Jürgen Wendler
after opening remarks from Organisator Dr. Josef Schlömicher-Their (who combined Singing and
medical studies and graduated for both), Dr. Matthias Weikert and Dr. Markus Hess.
“Reflecting a 19th century invention,
the indirect way to the glottis-
Obsolete or up-to-date?” was the
title of his presentation.
Rather intended for physicians, it
was for us, singing teachers
nevertheless interesting to see how
cautious the approach is to proceed
to the delicate instrument that the
voice is, so that it is never damaged.
(see abstract)
Second lecture was an appetizing introduction in the physiologic principles of voice production by Dr
Ilter Denizioglu (again a singer-doctor).
It was a very clear and “to the point “lecture and we will be inviting Dr Denizoglu to the Evta-Be
symposium in 2015.
Dr James P. Tomas: “Using your ear and stroboscope for accurate diagnosis” explained why it is so
important always to listen to a voice and not only look at it through the stroboscope, a very wise
advice!
Most spectacular was the lecture of Dr. Ingo Herrmann about “What we know and don’t know
about swallowing!”
We eat, we swallow, we digest, we sing, we perform, we drink, are hungry and every day again our
throat, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach can work at the same time but what if it goes wrong, what
when a singer can hardly swallow or when stomach juice is coming in the throat again with reflux and
all the consequences of it? The saliva has three functional forms: The liquid in the stomach, the bile
and the pancreatic juice. It also has different appearances: as a liquid, as a gel and as foam
As it is almost impossible to tell everything in a lecture and to understand all as a listener, we hope to
know more at another occasion. Perhaps it can bring a new light in finding a solution for singers who
are reflux patients as medication like Omeprazole is just a very temporary solution.
Also other speakers were talking about reflux and chronical cough, monitoring PH values, were
talking about an overview of the current diagnostic modalities available for LPR. (Laryngopharyngeal
reflux)
In the afternoon there were workshops for ENT doctors there were also workshops about learning
together and how to test Oropharyngeal ph. and about phonosurgery.
For speech pathologists and therapists and singing teachers there were workshops given by Dr. Ilter
Denizoglu on Multidimensional aspects of human voice, General definitions and methodology of
