This master’s thesis examines the timing and process of male voice mutation during adolescence and its significance for the pedagogical approach to teaching singing. The focus is on the physiological changes of the vocal apparatus, the stages of voice development and the impact of mutation on vocal quality and stability. It also addresses the most common issues that occur during this period, such as hoarseness, register instability and vocal fatigue. Based on a review of relevant literature, the thesis highlights the importance of an individualized approach to teaching singing during voice mutation. Part of the study is dedicated to the adaptation of vocal and breathing exercises, as well as repertoire selection, according to the student’s developmental stage. The findings indicate that an appropriate pedagogical approach can significantly contribute to the safe development of the voice and the gradual progress of young singers.
