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.

This engaging session introduces the Oxygen Advantage® method: a science-backed approach to breathing that can transform how you teach, coach, and care for the voice.

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
  • Connect breathwork to voice pedagogy in a clear, practical way

Help your students breathe—and sing—better. This is breathing training, designed for the vocal teacher.
