MA Voice Pedagogy Alumni Avril Crawford focused her MA research on adolescent voices and was able to apply her knowledge practically within her voice studio.
"My research has enabled me to structure a teaching framework for singers that I work with... I can’t thank the Voice Study Centre enough for the skills I have gained and the wonderful people I have met along the way.
