Models, Concepts and Methods of Vocal Education with Dr Motje Wolf
Thursday 9th December 2021, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (London Time)
There are many different ways of thinking about Vocal Pedagogy. Concepts have arisen over centuries and in its richness, the field of Vocal Pedagogy can also be overwhelming. Analysing teachers’ and students’ knowledge is complex.
This lunchtime lecture will address opportunities for evaluation and self-reflection through offering a systematic overview of vocal pedagogy (based on Wolf 2019). In order to achieve this, we will look at teacher knowledge (Shulman 1987, 1988), analyse our own knowledge with the help of the 3-Tier-Model of Vocal pedagogy (Wolf 2019) and look at students’ assessment with the help of the Taxonomy of Vocal Pedagogy (Wolf 2019, based on Anderson and Krathwohl 2001).
Finally, there will be time to discuss how we can make sure that relevant research knowledge will be part of every vocal studio. A solution to this could be the MESHguide project (http://meshguides.org) which shares research results with practitioners.

Pedagogic Misconceptions and Their Correction
Ken Bozeman
Things are not always as they seem. Many fairly prevalent conceptions of vocal function and resultant studio directives are either inaccurate in part or in whole, misleading, and therefore in need of correction or at least significant qualification.
