Contemporary Commercial Voice Technique, Pedagogy, and Practices

The short course is firmly rooted in the study of Contemporary Commercial Voice Technique, Pedagogy, and Practices. CCM singers face challenges in receiving appropriate training, academic opportunities, and professional support and are often discriminated against. Lyudmyla Heath used a Scoping Review method aimed to collate and synthesise current peer-reviewed research to provide an evidence-based foundation for further CCM voice pedagogy and performance development, driven by the main research question, “What is known from the peer-reviewed literature about the pedagogy and stylistic application of CCM voice technique?”
