The Pedagogy of Vibrato: Integrating Science and Studio Practice
Thursday 15th January 2026, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (London Time)
Vibrato is more than just a shimmer in the sound - it’s one of the voice’s most powerful tools for artistry and expression. In this dynamic course, Justin John Moniz - Associate Director of Vocal Performance and Coordinator of Vocal Pedagogy at NYU Steinhardt, and Associate Editor of the Journal of Singing - pulls back the curtain on vibrato, blending history, science, and studio know-how into an engaging exploration for singers and teachers alike.
Together, we’ll uncover how vibrato has evolved across centuries of Western vocal music, what happens in the body when vibrato is produced, and how its acoustic qualities shape the way audiences hear and feel performances. We’ll break down types of vibrato, discover their stylistic roles from opera to pop, and explore practical strategies for cultivating a healthy, flexible, and expressive vibrato in the studio.
Come ready to connect science with sound—and leave with tools to unlock vibrato’s full potential!
