An Introduction to the Buteyko Breathing Method

Thursday 25th January 2024, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM (London Time)

Kate is delighted to host this VSC short course on Buteyko Breathing.

Throughout this 2 hour session we will explore the background of the Buteyko Breathing Method and discuss the potential impact of Buteyko on vocal health and performance.

We will explore a few useful practical exercises for singers and their teachers and discuss their benefit in the singing classroom.

Buteyko provides a great way to find relief for respiratory difficulties, anxiety and poor sleep.

The power of conscious breathing has huge implications for singers, actors, public speakers and beyond.

Not one size fits all, but a guide to making informed choices with voice users. Based on a five-year investigative project, the course equips singing teachers with the knowledge and practical tools needed to confidently understand MTD, and support singers experiencing MTD beyond their initial therapeutic input.

Inspired Not Bound: The Promise of Science-Informed Voice Pedagogy

Lynn Helding
