This interactive lecture and question/answer session will centre on the research process and findings of the book Training Contemporary Commercial Singers (Compton, 2020).
The author will share insights to the development process and what it was like to collaborate with 26 highly accomplished pedagogues and contributors.
This book is the first to identify and synthesize “trends” within the field of popular singing voice pedagogy, and we will focus on discussing key findings.
Course participants are invited to ask questions and engage in dialogue regarding the research process and results.

This short course will outline strategies for teaching and coaching with both long- and short-term goals in mind. These strategies have been adapted for the voice from motor learning theory and the Alexander Technique.
