MA Voice Pedagogy student Jenna Brown to be published in Australian Voice

Voice Study Centre
We are delighted to announce that MA Voice Pedagogy student Jenna Brown has been accepted to be featured in Australian Voice, a peer-reviewed international journal with a focus on a range of topics pertaining to the singing voice and vocal pedagogy.
Jenna’s paper is based on her Module 3 research during her MA programme and comprises a qualitative practitioner research project which seeks to broaden the science versus imagery debate by investigating choral conductors’ pedagogical needs. It explores and investigates the application and impact of imagery in the vocal training and development of young choir singers through observations, interviews and a questionnaire involving six conducting staff members at a British youth choir.
Congratulations, Jenna!
