Our MA Professional Practice (Voice Pedagogy) programme provides a flexible pathway for students to focus on their chosen research area.
Our fully online open pathway enables singing teachers, choral directors, instrumental teachers, and speech and language therapists/pathologists to apply theory to practice within the broad field of voice. As a student, you can draw on a range of pre-recorded videos and live classes to tailor the course to your needs and design projects to enhance your practice. There’s content available that explores the recent research into all aspects of Voice Pedagogy, and it's rapidly expanding to encompass emerging areas such as singing for health, vocal habilitation, acoustic pedagogy, neuroscience and performance coaching.
Many of our students, both past and present, have gone on to publish their research. We've added a page to our website just for them!
Take a look here.
