2 Part Course: Therapeutic Techniques For Healing The Injured Voice Suitable For SLPs/VRCs And Singing Teachers
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.
Sorry, this is an archived short course...
We have plenty of upcoming short courses coming soon. See details of some of them below or look at the full list of short courses.

(R)evolutionary Voice Training: harnessing human instinct to accelerate vocal transformation!
Maddie Tarbox
Human beings and our vertebrate ancestors have been communicating via vocalization for millions of years – those sounds did not start as complex language, but as animal mimicry, acoustic cuing, and emotional primal sounds. Join Maddie Tarbox for this two hour session as she unpicks the repertoire of instinctive shortcuts that can lower cognitive load and accelerate vocal change!

Low Male Voices (LMVs): Development, Technique, and Repertoire
Dr Dann Mitton
Join Dr Dann Mitton for this two hour workshop where he explores the Development, Techniques, and Repertoire favoured for Low Male Voices (LMVs). Typically labelled as 'Bass' and 'Baritone', these classifications are used in classical music, choral settings, and vocal pedagogy to help determine suitable repertoire and vocal roles. In contemporary music, the distinctions are less rigid but still useful for understanding vocal range and timbre.

Picking Up Good Vibrations: Pedagogical and Clinical Voice Analysis!
Dr Calvin Baker
Voice teachers and clinicians strongly rely on auditory perceptual modes of voice evaluation. These are considered the gold standard for assessing voice quality and training effects (e.g., a singer’s progress from lesson to lesson or across voice therapy). Join Dr Calvin Baker as he explores techniques for instrumentally analysing the singing voice. Specific considerations for the challenges of obtaining reliable, robust, and comparable data will be presented, and practical recommendations for recording and analysing the singing voice in pedagogical and clinical contexts will be made.
