An Exploration of Belting
Tuesday 29th August 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
In this workshop, we will deepen our understanding of belting by looking at the historical context of belting and by discussing the multiple ways to define a belt. We will explore common problems belters run into in the studio, in addition to looking at the differences between working with beginning belters and more advanced belters.
You will hear real life examples from actual lessons so you can begin to understand how different stages of belt development sound on singers of various skills. Vocal health and repertoire concerns for beginners will also be discussed. Bring your questions and curiosities about belting! We will have time for questions and discussion.

The Contemporary Classical Singer: Incorporating New Music into Vocal Pedagogy!
Page Stephens
There are evolving expectations for vocalists, who now need to perform in a variety of styles beyond traditional classical music. In this two-part course, Page Stephens argues that voice teachers should incorporate contemporary repertoire and techniques into their lessons to help singers grow in expressivity, flexibility, and economic opportunities. The course will cover industry trends, cultural pressures, and economic benefits of contemporary music, and provide tools for integrating new music into vocal education. Interviews with professionals will highlight the strengths and weaknesses observed in the field, and strategies for teaching new music will be discussed.
