Wednesday 26th July 2023
Voice Study Centre
We are thrilled to announce that recent MA Voice Pedagogy graduate Tara Leiper has been chosen to present a paper at this year’s International Symposium on Performance Science (ISPS). The biennial event – with its 2023 theme of ‘Performance Care and Careers’ – will be hosted by the Medical University of Warsaw and the Chopin University of Music in Warsaw, Poland from 17th-20th August.
Tara’s singing for health paper is titled: Trial of a multi-sensory self-assessment (SA) protocol for use by amateur group singers to raise awareness of healthy and efficient singing habits. Using a purposive sample of 18 amateur choir singers, it aims to discover how the health and efficiency of the singing voice is monitored; discover in what ways a multi-sensory SA protocol might change awareness of healthy and efficient singing practices in amateur group singers through the identification of habitual behaviours; and improve the effectiveness of the SA protocol by analysing collected data.
Congratulations, Tara!
