This is the microphone that my team in the Lemoore Union Elementary School District use to protect our voices.

These two articles may help you in your search for vocal health in the classroom.

Larry "Doc" Sutherland  has been educating students in the Central Valley since 1969. It was my pleasure to have him as a professor during my time at California State University, Fresno. He has had such an impact on the local music education community. I am so glad I had the honor of interviewing him for the show.

Tune into our YouTube channel to see a special presentation for his former students and colleagues.

Here is a link to his bio.

You can also reach him  via email.
