Mindfulness Coaching within the Voice Studio
Thursday 22nd January 2026, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM (London Time)
Emerging research indicates that mindfulness can have far-reaching benefits for singers, including improvements in lessons, performances, focus and attention, body (somatic) awareness, socio-collaborative relationships, performance anxiety, and expressivity and enjoyment during performances. Meanwhile, studies show that young people are experiencing increasingly high levels of mental and emotional distress.
In this short course, we will explore ways that voice teachers can harness the power of mindfulness coaching within the voice studio. We will begin by examining Jon Kabat-Zinn’s nine principles of mindfulness: non-judging, patience, beginner’s mind, trust, non-striving, acceptance, letting go, gratitude, and generosity. We will discuss how these principles can transform voice work, and we will engage in practical exercises designed to cultivate them in ourselves and our students.
Participants will practice leading brief versions of the following mindfulness exercises: the body scan, the three-part breath, the lovingkindness meditation, and expanding awareness. They will come away with practical resources for shifting their own mindset and specific tools for incorporating mindfulness into voice training.
