Abstract

The purpose of this literature review was to synthesize research related to perceptions of choral tone and to provide implications for future research and praxis. Although considerable research exists on the topic of choral tone, choral music professionals have indicated contradictory philosophies of what makes “good” choral tone. To highlight these contradictions, this literature review includes common interpretations of tone, vocal tone, and choral tone; factors that influence choral tone production; and issues regarding the perception of choral tone. Implications and research-based suggestions for how choral directors may approach choral tone are also shared.
