Learning more about acting techniques can build structure into your performance-focused lessons and add depth to the song. Gain practical tools and techniques that you can apply to your teaching.
Certificate in Coaching Emotional Vocal Expression
Understanding emotions is crucial for coaching performers towards more authentic and compelling performances. However, working with emotions can be challenging, both physiologically and mentally. This course will introduce you to theories of emotion and the connections between the brain, body, and voice. We will then discuss how to work effectively with emotions when coaching speakers or singers, considering the physical and mental demands.
Certificate In Applied Neuroscience And Voice with Voice Scientist Heidi Moss Erickson
Heidi Moss authored the chapter on Neurodiversity in Voice Pedagogy for the upcoming Oxford Anthology of Voice Pedagogy. Join her for this six-part course designed to provide an introduction to the neuroscience of vocalization. It aims to provide a foundation for those who are looking to fuse science with art and understand that the voice is so much more than an instrument.
Music Theory Fundamentals for Voice Pedagogues
Voice pedagogy has advanced significantly in the last decades in relation to knowledge of the vocal apparatus (anatomy and mechanics), acoustics, and performance psychology (to name just a few subfields) – this is a wonderful thing! Nonetheless, musicianship and the foundations of music theory are still relevant to the teaching and coaching of singers (regardless of genre) and can often be a neglected part of a voice pedagogue’s toolkit (there is, admittedly, so much else to digest). This course aims to empower voice teachers and coaches with skills to support the musicianship development of their students.
Certificate in Foundations of Vocology with Adam Roberts
This 30-hour Vocology Cohort Intensive provides a comprehensive overview of basic vocal anatomy, physiology, and theories of voice production & perception, fundamentals of vocal health, pathology, evaluation, performance, and habilitation of the speaking and singing voice, and a survey of research, resources, and professional opportunities. Each week, advanced students contribute to cohort-centred learning with additional resources, discussion facilitation, and critical analysis. The course assessment will also be useful for those who wish to prepare for the PAVA recognised designation.
