Dairy Products vs Singing Science Fair Projects

Dairy Products

Why should you avoid dairy products when you sing and when you are sick? They can produce extra mucus that impact your ability to sing clearly or to breath when you are sick.

Objectives/Goals

The goal of this experiment was to find out if dairy products affect a singer's voice in any way.

Methods/Materials

In this experiment, five singers recorded how many scales they could sing, starting at Middle C. Then they ate and drank mainly dairy products for one week. Every day each singer recorded how many scales he or she were able to sing, again, starting at Middle C. They did this for seven days.

Results

By the end of the experiment, each singer#s range was less than his or her original wide ranges.

Conclusions/Discussion

The largest difference was four scales less than the original eight scales up. This would definitely hurt a performer, because if they weren't able to sing with their full ranges, they may not be able to perform all, if any, of their pieces. 3rd party contributor
