title: [Evaluation of music department students who passed the entrance exam with phonetogram (Voice Range Profile)].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study aims to evaluate phonetogram data of the students in the department of music who passed the entrance exam.
  
  
  METHODS
  The phonetogram data of 44 individuals with a good voice quality in the department of music and age-matched individuals who were not trained in the field of music or not involved in music amateurish as the control group were compared. The voice of both groups were recorded using the voice range profile within the scope of Kay Elemetrics CSL (Model 4300 B) programmed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was a significant difference in the voice range profile parameters including max Fo, Fo range, Fo range (St), min dB SPL, and max dB sound pressure level (p<0.05).
