MA Voice Pedagogy Student To Present At PAVA Symposium

Thursday 18th August 2022

We’d like to wish a huge congratulations to MA student Fernando Zimmermann, who will be presenting at the Pan American Vocology Association‘s Hybrid Symposium this week!
Fernando will be presenting ‘Can A Self-Talk Instructional Aid Assist in the Development of Singing Student Self-Efficacy?’.
 
The aim of this study was to verify if there were changes on perceived self–efficacy after using the instructional self–talk – named Internal Command (IC) in this study – protocol.
If you are interested in conducting globally-recognised research, our MA Voice Pedagogy may be the right path for you.
