Can you hear me now?
November 12, 2009 | Posted in: Class Updates
Your child may have mentioned that I’ve been using a microphone and speaker in class lately. I wanted to let you know what’s happening and why. After having a flu a few weeks ago, I had a lingering cough that badly irritated my throat, leaving me without a voice. Although my voice is starting to come back, my job does require me to talk throughout the day, which usually means that my voice is gone again by day’s end. (Did you know that teachers are at the highest risk for voice disorders of all common professions? Professional singers are the only population to be at higher risk.) I have been advised to use a classroom amplification system to conserve my voice, so that’s why I’ve been joined at the hip with my microphone. (Plus, wearing a pop-singer-style microphone on your head is just so darn stylish!) Hopefully I’ll be able to part company with my microphone sometime soon.
