Part 1

Learn about the diagnostic process from the entrance to the nasal passage to the vocal folds.
Discover how the endoscopic process informs the physician, the vocalist, and the singing teacher.
Learn why the rush to see the vocal folds often bypasses some of the most useful information in the higher pharynx.
Part 2
Voice teachers and singers who have attended An Introduction to Endoscopic Interpretation Part One are invited to join this course to learn about stroboscopic evaluation.
In this class participants will learn about mucosal waves and how the amplitude of these is directly related to the strength of the harmonics and overall spectral envelope.
Learn how to rate these discrete features and understand how they relate to the diagnostic process.

Music Theory Fundamentals for Voice Pedagogues
Dr David Cane
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 and this course aims to empower voice teachers and coaches with skills to support the fundamental musicianship development of their students.

Feldenkrais Method® - its application in speech and song!
Marina Gilman
The Feldenkrais Method® is a form of somatic education that uses gentle movement and directed attention to improve physical and mental functioning, including singing and speaking. Since we are not always aware of the source of tension or discoordination, it is difficult to make the necessary adjustments to ensure optimal use of the voice!

The Vocal Health Challenges for Actors and Singers!
Leda Scearce
Two part course! Vocal health principles are inextricably and symbiotically linked with singing and acting voice pedagogy: Good vocal health allows the singer and actor to more easily and effectively achieve their technical and artistic goals, and good teaching reinforces vocal technique that diminishes the risk of vocal injury. We now also recognize the necessity for singers and actors to understand how their instruments work, how to take care of their voices, and what to do when something goes wrong. Singing and acting teachers are indeed on the front lines of vocal health!
