MA Student To Present Research For STAMMA

Friday 13th May 2022

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

If you are interested in contributing to important research, our MA Voice Pedagogy Specialing in Singing for Health could be the right move for you!
