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.

Redefining Ethical Practice in Voice Teaching!

Dr Justin John Moniz

Join Dr Justin John Moniz as he examines ethical practice in voice teaching through a structured, evidence-informed framework for sustainable, student-centered pedagogy. Although voice teaching operates outside formal licensure models common to allied professions, teachers hold significant responsibility for students’ vocal function, artistic development, and long-term well-being. This course addresses that gap through a five-part paradigm grounded in the NATS Code of Ethics, contemporary research, and applied studio practice.

Training the Vocal Athlete: Strategies for Efficient Belting in the 21st Century Market!

Dr Wendy LeBorgne

In the fast-paced world of contemporary commercial music (CCM) and musical theatre, belting is no longer a niche vocal effect; it is an athletic requirement. This evidence-informed, interactive workshop bridges the gap between vocal science and studio application. Led by voice pathologist and author Dr. Wendy LeBorgne, participants will dissect the physiological, acoustic, and aerodynamic demands of healthy belting. From establishing baseline vocal fitness to navigating the subtle stylistic differences between Broadway and West End aesthetics, this session will provid an actionable blueprint to build powerful, injury-resistant voices.
