Tapering Rehearsal Time Prior to a Performance May Increase Vocal Quality

In order to perform well, many music educators schedule additional practices just prior to a concert. The increased strain on the voice of singers may actually produce the opposite of the desired effect on the quality of the performance according to a preliminary study published in the March/April 2017 issue of Journal of Singing. As in athletics, early preparation and then tapering rehearsal time as the concert approaches may result in increased vocal quality.

"The results of the current study suggest that a tapered rehearsal schedule may be beneficial for some performers in improving vocal quality, at least as measured by postperformance vocal function. The participant who derived the most benefit from the tapered schedule was an individual who exhibited significant tissue changes during the preperformance exam and thus required additional rest and healing time." (Gorham-Rowan, Paoletti, and Morris, 2017)

Researches studied choirs who tapered rehearsal time by ten percent (10%) each week, up to thirty percent (30%), for three weeks prior to the performance.  Additional research should be conducted to explore rehearsal duration and the correlating effects upon performance.
