Abstract
Menopause can influence the voice, health, and wellbeing of professional singers, making it a critical area of understanding for singing teachers. For two decades, discussion of menopausal hormone therapy (HT) was shaped by the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study, which led to widespread concern and a decline in HT use. However, updated evidence reveals the safety of modern HT preparations, as well as non-hormonal treatment options, with emphasis on personalization of care. This article provides singing teachers with an overview of how contemporary menopause care has evolved, bridging clinical guidance with voice pedagogy to help support singers navigating this life stage.
