Getting The House In Order: Training Functional Register For CCM

Thursday 10th November 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)

In a functional approach to voice, transitioning seamlessly between the bottom and the top often requires isolation work to be done on the basic registers (a.k.a chest and falsetto).

When teachers can assess how functional the basic registers are, they can create plans to strengthen their coordination before they try to connect them.

In this workshop, Chris will share how he assesses and trains the basic registers to benefit the voice as a whole.

The added benefit is that the passaggio is also much easier to fathom when all registers are functional and contributing!

Certificate In Applied Neuroscience And Voice with Voice Scientist Heidi Moss

This six-day course is designed to provide an introduction to the neuroscience of vocalization. It aims to provide a foundation for those who are looking to fuse science with art and understand that the voice is so much more than an instrument.

Music Theory Fundamentals for Voice Pedagogues

Dr David Cane

Voice pedagogy has advanced significantly in the last decades in relation to knowledge of the vocal apparatus (anatomy and mechanics), acoustics, and performance psychology (to name just a few subfields) – this is a wonderful thing! Nonetheless, musicianship and the foundations of music theory are still relevant to the teaching and coaching of singers and this course aims to empower voice teachers and coaches with skills to support the fundamental musicianship development of their students.

Embodied voice research: negotiating the ‘inner’ and outer’

Embodied voice research: negotiating the ‘inner’ and outer’

Marth Munro

The central thrust of the session will be around the employment of Donald Schön’s concept of ‘reflection-in-action’ and ‘reflection-on-action’ to contextualise the potential interface between the inner and the outer in embodied voice research.
