Part 1

Voice Teachers and singers are invited to this course to learn about the voice through the lens of the endoscopic examination.

Learn about the diagnostic process from the entrance to the nasal passage to the vocal folds.

Discover how the endoscopic process informs the physician, the vocalist, and the singing teacher.

Learn why the rush to see the vocal folds often bypasses some of the most useful information in the higher pharynx.

Part 2

Voice teachers and singers who have attended An Introduction to Endoscopic Interpretation Part One are invited to join this course to learn about stroboscopic evaluation.

In this class participants will learn about mucosal waves and how the amplitude of these is directly related to the strength of the harmonics and overall spectral envelope.

Learn how to rate these discrete features and understand how they relate to the diagnostic process.
