Dealing With Jaw Tension: Options For Singers
Thursday 13th October 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
In this workshop, we will discuss the concept of jaw tension from multiple perspectives.
Why complicate a simple problem?
There are no simple problems, as everyone’s issues come from various factors.
We will unpack some possible underlying problems contributing to jaw tension and work the participant through self-interventions to remediate these concerns.
Walt Fritz
Walt Fritz, PT, has evolved traditionally taught tissue-based approaches into a unique interpretation of manual therapy. This approach advances views of causation and impact from historical tissue-specific models into a multifactorial narrative, leaning heavily on biopsychosocial influences.

Dr David Cane

Flexible Pedagogy: Teaching Singers with Dynamic Conditions
Joanne Bozeman
Marita Stryker
Is your "flexible" student actually at risk? In recent years, the singing community has seen a vital shift in awareness toward "invisible" conditions like Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD), hEDS, and POTS. While hypermobility can sometimes feel like a "superpower" for range and flexibility, it often comes with a hidden cost: a higher frequency of voice disorders, respiratory challenges, and autonomic fatigue.
