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.

Music Theory Fundamentals for Voice Pedagogues
Dr David Cane
Voice pedagogy has advanced significantly in the last decades in relation to knowledge of the vocal apparatus (anatomy and mechanics), acoustics, and performance psychology (to name just a few subfields) – this is a wonderful thing! Nonetheless, musicianship and the foundations of music theory are still relevant to the teaching and coaching of singers and this course aims to empower voice teachers and coaches with skills to support the fundamental musicianship development of their students.
