Systematic Approach To Kinesthetic Singing Tools
Thursday 3rd March 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This workshop will focus on the use of kinesthetic singing tools during studio application.
Kinesthetic singing tools provide a more expeditious approach to a new sensory experience than ongoing explanations by the teacher.
Decades of voice research have provided an organizational template from which to study voice mechanics through five-voice systems: respiration, phonation, registration, articulation, and resonance.
This workshop will use videos from voice lessons to demonstrate what vocal challenge was observed that led to the selection of a specific kinesthetic tool filtered through a systematic approach.
This provides clarity for studio application to guide singers toward vocal efficiency.

Dalcroze Eurhythmics in the Voice Studio
Dr Tish Oney
The Dalcroze Method taught by Swiss music teacher Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865-1950) has long been valued as a tool for teaching music in group settings (ensembles, choirs, music classes, etc.) But what about its one-on-one use in the applied voice studio?
