Nutrition and Exercise for Elite Performance
Tuesday 5th November 2024, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (London Time)
"Nutrition and Exercise for Elite Performance", will provide insights into how targeted nutritional strategies can enhance the performance, endurance, and recovery of elite performers, including singers and musicians. This session is designed to help participants understand the critical role of nutrition in maintaining both physical and vocal health under demanding conditions.
The session follows from Duncan’s previous seminar covering the basics of nutrition and exercise for general health. We now will focus on higher levels aspects for those wanting to maximise their elite level performance exploring key topics such as optimizing macronutrient intake for energy, the specifics of hydration, and how micronutrients support muscle function, immunity, and cognitive performance. Special attention will be given to dietary considerations for performers who face unique physical demands, such as long rehearsals or tours. Additionally, the seminar will cover how nutrition can aid injury prevention, faster recovery, and stress management, enabling performers to sustain peak performance over time.
Attendees will gain practical knowledge on how to tailor their diet to support their specific performance needs. Whether you are a professional singer, musician, or a voice coach, this seminar aims to equip you with evidence-based strategies to optimize your performance through proper nutrition.

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.
