Che cos'è la Cantoterapia

È una tecnica audiologica che sfrutta le frequenze, le vibrazioni delle mucose e cartilagini, l’utilizzo della lingua. Posiziona il suono per rieducare la voce compromessa da patologie invalidanti.
Creata ad hoc per il paziente Parkinsoniano ed il portatore di Ictus, ha varie applicazioni anche per altri tipi di patologie neurologiche e quelle che sopravvengono a causa di un uso improprio della voce da parte di cantanti, insegnanti, oratori, attori.
La cantoterapia si basa sulla vocalizzazione desunta da tecniche sofisticate quali lo sprechgesang, il canto in ipertono, il recitarcantando e ulteriori, elaborate ed esemplificate.
Da poter essere adottate anche da chi non ha alcuna dimestichezza con il canto colto o trova imbarazzante esprimersi attraverso esso.
È praticata da una docente di canto e concertista con titoli e vasta esperienza sia nel settore artistico che scientifico.

Liedtherapy by Ambra Noè

I’m devoting myself to Parkinson’s patients for more than seven years
I’ve created for them a phono-psycho-motory method with the purpose of improving                  their voice and speech .
I’ve written an essay and I’m included with a brief study comparing voice,speech and writing.
 in the  sixth volume of the enciclopedy Omega directed by professor  Franco Fussi of the Ravenna’s audiological institute. An inspiration comes from lied , a high vocal style bond to poetry, music, interpretation, idiom perfection.
A Parkinson patient is normally treated with standard methods where a precise individual speech and psycho stimulation that creates empathy in the hearer is lacking: a patient is helped to become an empathic speaker , a person that knows how to manage expression, rhythm, accent, sound.
respecting the natural patient’s voice , his cultural milieu , his personality , because of a style born with the aim of shaping voice that are unique .

More than 100 exercises adapted to the person and the illness degree not forgetting his personality Beside a serious  study of vocal physiology and about this desease of course ,I am keen about voice resonances .Further  exercises stimulate memory connecting voice and movement .
The study of voice synchronizes  breath and those muscles that regulate deep and high notes creating harmonics ,giving way to a natural voice lifting that improves the  vocal quality
The breathing technique for singing makes the patient to be aware of his body as a resonance  box
Stimulating abdominals, scalenes, larynx and pharynx muscles
The success of the method is confirmed by the patients, their relatives, their doctors.
The functionality is evident . volume, expression, prosody,  behaviour as well.
Moreover the patient seems serene, often happy and relates  himself well with other patients, he shows initiative, interest in what he is doing. A good natural stimulation.
He does exercises that don’t demand him any effort lifted by my voice . Some patients (chosen in different associations ) attending my courses for some years have performed a short dialogue in front of a public  without delay, showing competence, expression, rhythm.
The patient -compelled by Parkinson desease to remain in a begging posture-finds relief because this technique induces him to stay in a erect position.
Visage movements and “figèe” expression find benefit as well.
The purpose is to keep the patient’s vocal ability  to a good level for a time as long as possible .
Patient’s collaboration  is  determinant  to make of a serious illness an opportunity  .
