Repertoire Selection

Thursday 30th November 2023, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (London Time)

Accurate selection of vocal repertoire for singers is an essential skill for teachers of all genres.

The most skilled voice technician runs the risk of undoing all technical development in a student by assigning pieces and suggesting stage roles which are inappropriate for a given singer's capabilities and development.

This course will provide attendees with a systematic process for examining the challenges of vocal repertoire of multiple genres and how to best match pieces to a singer.

Redefining Ethical Practice in Voice Teaching!

Redefining Ethical Practice in Voice Teaching!

Dr Justin John Moniz

Join Dr Justin John Moniz as he examines ethical practice in voice teaching through a structured, evidence-informed framework for sustainable, student-centered pedagogy. Although voice teaching operates outside formal licensure models common to allied professions, teachers hold significant responsibility for students’ vocal function, artistic development, and long-term well-being. This course addresses that gap through a five-part paradigm grounded in the NATS Code of Ethics, contemporary research, and applied studio practice.

Training the Vocal Athlete: Strategies for Efficient Belting in the 21st Century Market!

Dr Wendy LeBorgne

In the fast-paced world of contemporary commercial music (CCM) and musical theatre, belting is no longer a niche vocal effect; it is an athletic requirement. This evidence-informed, interactive workshop bridges the gap between vocal science and studio application. Led by voice pathologist and author Dr. Wendy LeBorgne, participants will dissect the physiological, acoustic, and aerodynamic demands of healthy belting. From establishing baseline vocal fitness to navigating the subtle stylistic differences between Broadway and West End aesthetics, this session will provid an actionable blueprint to build powerful, injury-resistant voices.
