Honing the Heart-Brain Connection to Enhance Energy and Optimise Performance
Thursday 18th April 2024, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
Coherent Singing (CS) is a programme developed by Brenda Belohoubek, a singer, educator, and mental health counsellor. It is an adaptation of HeartMath® exercises that are specifically designed to help singers optimise their performance by managing accumulated stress through Heart Coherence. This programme teaches participants to harness energy and transition from a state of Depletion to Renewal™, ultimately breaking through self-limiting patterns and achieving synchronization, increased energy, and creative problem-solving abilities for optimal psychological and physiological well-being during musical performances.
The HeartMath® system includes a unique form of biofeedback that focuses on the heart-brain connection through heart rhythm coherence. It has been extensively researched and adopted by over 10,000 health professionals, hospitals, and organisations. This course will adapt these techniques for singers, enabling you to reach a high-performance state and maintain your overall health, allowing for greater creative potential and optimal performance.
By joining this course, you will tap into the power of heart rhythm coherence and experience the benefits it brings to your singing journey. You will unlock an incredible release of neurochemicals that heighten your emotional system, resulting in enhanced clarity of thought. Embracing higher vibrational energy will provide you with the ability to effortlessly manage your energies, actions, intentions and reactions both on and off the stage. This not only elevates your singing abilities but also opens the door to synchronicities and gives you clear choices when performing and honing your craft.
As you strengthen your experience of coherent heart feelings and integrate them into your system through intentional practice, you can improve various aspects of your singing, such as phrasing, rhythm, vocal clarity, artistic expression, and creativity. Furthermore, this alignment of heart coherence helps eliminate negative patterns stored in the cells, freeing up more power and energy for creative intention.
Take your vocal journey to new heights and unlock your true artistic potential by aligning your heart, mind, and nervous system. Embrace the power of Coherent Singing today.

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.

Staging A Coup: History meets science for the coup de la glotte!
Kourtney Austin
Historical vocal pedagogy, voice science, voice health, and performance practice come together in this presentation from Kourtney Austin! The session addresses the historical context for teaching the onset as a fundamental skill, along with a review of a recent publication examining the acoustic effects of different types of onset, and practical studio implementation of onset training. The aforementioned publication is the first known research to objectively measure the acoustic implications of the coup de la glotte, and delineate it from the hard glottal attack.

Louisa Morgan
This 2-hour interactive session is designed to help you make more deliberate, expressive choices in your speaking of the written word.

We’ll explore a variety of text samples to cover a wide range of real-world situations, so you can get a feel for the different styles and approaches.
