Enhancing Singing And Choral Sound Through Acoustic Principles
Thursday 30th March 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
For some choral conductors, “acoustics” may sound inaccessible or too academic to be useful for their ensemble.
But even a cursory knowledge of vocal and choral acoustics can inform many decisions you make in your classroom and in the performance hall. In this session, we will begin with a primer on vocal acoustics.
Then we will explore a series of practical, science-based techniques you can use immediately to help your choristers sing more efficiently and with improved choral sound.

Learn to Coach RP and SSBE – a Certificate in Accent Coaching

Leaning Into Discomfort: Supporting Regulation and Resilience in Voice Care
Dr Carol Krusemark
Working with the singing body and nervous system, whether in teaching, coaching, therapy, or performance, often means navigating moments of stress, vulnerability, and uncertainty. In these moments, both teachers and clients can find themselves operating from a heightened autonomic stress response that affects communication, learning, and vocal function. Join Dr Carol Krusemark as she explores how an understanding of the autonomic nervous system can inform more effective and compassionate voice work!
