Objectives:
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the EASE-BR (Evaluation of the Ability to Sing Easily for Brazil) protocol in the development of a vocal warm-up program for members of an amateur choir.
Study Design:
This is a prospective cross-sectional study measuring pre- and postintervention results at two moments.
Methods:
Forty-four subjects filled out a questionnaire to characterize the sample and underwent two major applications of the EASE-BR scale-the first to determine the group's vocal requirements and the second to assess the performance after the application of a customized vocal warm-up routine.
Results:
Overall reduction of the scores in the postintervention moment has been determined. The score of 16 of the questions (72.7%) showed a statistically relevant reduction after the intervention.
Conclusions:
The EASE-BR scale proved a valuable assessment tool and its use may help develop customized vocal warm-up programs for different types of singers.
