Friday 13th May 2022
Voice Study Centre
We’re so proud that MA student Abi Mann-Daraz will be presenting at STAMMA’s Research Arena on Saturday 14th May 2022.
Abi’s research project was an exploratory case study, looking at the potential impact of singing lessons for a singing student of hers who lives with a persistent stammer.
‘By creating space for discussion and engagement, we’re hoping that people who stammer can be influential in improving the quality and real-world relevance of stammering research’ – STAMMA
