Reconsidering Traditional Tactics: Respiration, Placement, SOVTEs, and the Master-Apprentice Model
Thursday 14th September 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
The field of vocal pedagogy is constantly evolving. In order to keep our teaching current, it is worth periodically examining even our most reliable practices to ensure they are still serving our students and clients in the most effective way possible.
This course will offer new perspectives on traditional techniques. Specifically, we will discuss whether certain approaches to respiration are ‘inspired’ or if they have ‘expired,’ see if there is a place for ‘placement’ in modern pedagogy, explore a lesser-known benefit of semi-occluded vocal tract exercises, and investigate alternatives to the master-apprentice model of instruction.

This course will detail the historical roots of gender inequity and bias in sound perception research, contrast that against present day research methods, and explore cutting-edge research that highlights the many roles that gender may play in sound perception, as well as in singing, and why those roles may impact research outcomes.

Exercises and stretches for the singer/performer can easily be found online, many of which seem to conflict with or contradict others. Does this dilemma make one model wrong or another model better? Join me as we unpack these and other issues.
