Sundberg, Johan Ph.D., Dr. h.c., Prof. born 1936 He has a personal chair in Music Acoustics at the Speech Music Hearing Department at KTH (Royal Institute of Technology), Stockholm, Sweden, Doctor Honoris Causa, University of York, UK, 1996.
		Originally a musicologist, he early turned to acoustical aspects of music, starting with a doctoral dissertation work (1966) on organ pipes. Since then, the singing voice has been one of his main research topics. He has published a great number of book chapters and articles in international journals on various aspects of singing including resonance, vocal fold function, breathing, choral singing, perception and expression in singing. He summarized research in this area in Röstlära (2nd edition 1986, translations: The Science of the Singing Voice, 1987 and Die Wissenschaft von der Singstimme, 1997). Other research topics have been music theory and music performance. He has also written a book on music acoustics (Musikens Ljudlära, 2nd ed 1989, translations: The Science of Musical Sounds, 1991 and Öpetus muusikahelidest 1995). As the President of the Music Acoustics Committee of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music (1975-91) he edited or co-edited 11 volumes in a series of Proceedings of public seminars on music acoustic themes arranged in Stockholm since 1975. He has also had extensive experiences of performing music as a choir and solo singer. He has studied singing with Dagmar Gustafson and made his public debute with a Lieder recital on his 50th birthday. He is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, of the Swedish Acoustical Society (President 1976-81) and a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America. http://www.speech.kth.se/music/staff/pjohan.html Selected Publications J Sundberg, M Andersson & C Hultqvist (1999) Effects of subglottal pressure variation on professional baritone singers’ voice sources, JASA 105, 1965-1971.
