Bonnie is a former student of the late, great Todd Duncan and a brilliant teacher/singer in her own right, so this is quite a wonderful possibility!)

The voice is a muscle, and like any muscle in the body can be taken care of all the way through your 70's and beyond. No, you won;t have the same stamina as in your 20's, but you can stay strong and powerful if you treat it and excercise it like you would any other muscle. :-) If you don;t mind me interjecting.

The key is to find a teacher who is willing to work with you. I do think that most voice teachers are not prepared to work with people with chronic physical issues, as this type of work borders on physical and sound therapy, which are related, but different fields. That being said, there are voice teachers out there who are willing to take on those with special physical challanges. It is a rare voice teacher who has the patience, training and joy to work with those who need alternative forms of learning. It is NOT useless--if a teacher has told you that, they are definately the wrong teacher for you! You may be interested in an organization called Very Special Arts.

I have heard from some people who teach voice that its pretty much useless to teach people, who desire to learn how to properly sing. Is that true? Thank you for your advise regarding tips to dealing with stress!

The difference between every day acid reflux, and that of GERD patients is the acidity of the reflux as well as the length for which it stays in the gullet.
