Student-Centred Voice Pedagogy: Working with your Students to Develop Artistry
Tuesday 8th April 2025, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
In this seminar, we’ll discuss the five aspects of student-centered pedagogy. Voice instruction is in many ways a personal journey toward artistry and this path involves an intimate and individualized educational experience that occurs between the student and their teacher. This relationship is an integral part of the teaching and learning process.
Traditionally, one-on-one instruction in singing has been conveyed via a master–apprentice model in which the teacher imparts wisdom to the student. The master–apprentice tradition has been termed as didactic (or teacher-directed); information or knowledge is transferred omnidirectionally from the teacher to the learner. These conventional models tend to be heavy in content and often primarily reflect the teacher’s experiences (as well as institutional expectations). Educational research questions this traditional approach to teaching as it often does not develop the individual artistry of the singer, nor develop autonomy in learning or agency.
This seminar will discuss these aspects as agents of change for a learner-centred approach within the context of pedagogy and practice specifically, strategies that encourage that environment.
