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.

Inspired Sound: Unlocking the Science of Choral Acoustics
Professor Helena Daffern
In this session, Professor Helena Daffern will explore the fascinating science behind choral sound, offering choir singers and directors valuable insights into achieving a cohesive and expressive ensemble, no matter what their standard. The concept of choral blend will be examined —what it is, how it can be cultivated, and the roles of intonation and vibrato will be analysed. The decisions that have to be made around intonation when tuning thirds or dealing with modulations over the course of an a cappella piece will be explained in the context of existing research and different singing styles such as barbershop singing and solo voice ensembles.

Join Walt Fritz as he examines the evidence supporting stretching, strengthening, and manual therapy interventions to address jaw-related concerns in vocal performers, taking into account their unique needs.
