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.

The Acoustics and Mechanics of Whistle Voice
Dr Ingo Titze
Join Dr Ingo Titze for this 2-hour session, as he dives deep into the physiological and acoustic mysteries of the human "whistle voice"—the highest register of the human vocal range. While often compared to a flute or a lip whistle, recent research suggests the biological reality is far more complex than simple aerodynamics!

Mitigating Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) Within the Teaching Studio: Theories & Practical Strategies
Dr David Juncos
In recent years, an alternative model for treating MPA has shown great promise among practitioners - training music teachers to use interventions from evidence-based coaching models aimed to treat MPA, rather than continually referring students with MPA to receive psychotherapy like CBT.
