Thursday 20th October 2022, 7:30 PM - Tuesday 25th October 2022 7:30 PM (London Time)

Part 1

Voice teachers and singers are invited to learn about the primary methods used in voice therapy for healing the injured voice.

Course participants will learn about the research that supports these methods, indications for use, and any contraindications.

Participants will be given the opportunity to experience several of the techniques in class.

 

Part 2

Voice teachers and singers who have already completed Therapeutic Techniques for Healing the Injured Voice (Part 1) are invited to join this higher-level course to discuss critical thinking as it pertains to developing a plan of care for the complex voice patient.

Several case studies will be discussed in class with the goal of establishing a hierarchy of decision-making and planning.

The class will work from a skills checklist and then determine how and when the singing teacher may participate in the remediation process.

Emerging and Developing Voice: Singing and Speech

Karen Brunssen

How does the singing voice influence the speaking voice? How does the speaking voice influence the singing voice? When is there a disparate relationship between the two? Can they help each other? Can one harm the other? How can we use them positively in the voice studio. During this short course we will consider the voice as we sing and as we speak. The acquisition of language is a very interesting journey from birth through old age. We will broach the topics of “lexical” which refers to learning words, and “semantic” which is how we use words in the context of language.

Perfectionism: A Theoretical & Clinical Overview

Dr David Juncos

What exactly is meant when we label ourselves or someone we know a perfectionist? It is a good to be this way? Or are you setting yourself up for failure? Can a performance psychologist or a other performance-related practitioner help you if you’re a perfectionist? In this short course, you will learn how perfectionism is defined according to popular models in clinical psychology, and whether it is maladaptive or adaptive. You will also learn how perfectionism impacts on music performance anxiety, in addition to other areas of importance for performing musicians, like work-related stress and burnout, and procrastination with one’s practice.
