Are you a singing teacher or trainee voice educator eager to expand your toolkit? Join Kate Cubley at Voice Study Centre for a dynamic 2-hour lecture exploring the role of functional breathing in supporting vocal performance, vocal health, and resilience—for both you and your students.

What to Expect:

  • 🧠 Understand the Science: Learn the physiological foundations of efficient breathing and how it impacts voice production, focus, and energy.
  • 🛠 Learn Practical Tools: Explore a range of easy-to-integrate breathwork exercises to support breath control, vocal stamina, and performance anxiety.
  • 🎙 Apply to Voice Work: See how these techniques align with and enhance existing vocal pedagogy—ideal for warm-ups, endurance training, and real-world teaching challenges.
  • 🤝 Interactive and Reflective: Take part in guided practice and discussion on integrating these methods into your own teaching and vocal health routines.

Why Attend?

  • Strengthen your teaching with evidence-based breathing strategies
  • Support student vocal health, confidence, and longevity
  • Manage your own energy and voice use in demanding teaching contexts

“Too Much, Too Little, Just Right!” - The Balancing Act Model
Tuesday 28th July 2026

“Too Much, Too Little, Just Right!” - The Balancing Act Model

Robert Edwin

The Balancing Act Model encourages singers to explore the extremes of singing, and from those extremes, establish their most efficient (balanced) voice and performance techniques. Join the renowned singer/actor and author Robert Edwin as he covers many aspects of the singing process including breathing, phonation, resonation, articulation, and attitude. If you’re involved in music theater or opera, you’ll find the Model to be especially helpful in developing character voices for roles such as Nathan and Adelaide in Guys and Dolls. If you’re just looking to find out what your body and voice can do, The Balancing Act Model can provide many answers!

A VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS | Person-Centred Singing Teaching

William Leigh Knight

Only around 3% of the population fall into the category of amusia while over 17% consider themselves ‘tone-deaf’; and this does not account for non-singers, a wider group sometimes described as ‘tuneless’. So, who are ‘the voiceless’? Join William Leigh-Knight as he unpicks this question and considers the purpose of training a voice, when it is considered such a natural human attribute, and he expands on the principles that drive his own practice, which may be summarised as ‘person-centeredness’
