Unpacking the Transformative Pedagogic Concepts of the 21st Century

Wednesday 21st January 2026, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)

The evolution and accumulation of a pedagogy that has ecological validity across all voice types and genres draws from multiple sources: historic pedagogic writings, emerging voice science, reported perceptions of high-level performers, the genre and style requirements and expectations of voice culture, plus years of studio practitioner experience. 

Although whenever possible, pedagogic applications are grounded in objective declarative knowledge (the established facts of efficient function), effective pedagogy necessarily ventures into the subjective perceptions of the sensorial, procedural knowledge of the performer—what it feels and sounds like to the singer to sing with efficiency. Afterall, motor behaviour is guided by procedural knowledge—the neural signaling of learned and habituated output targets.

This course will present a distilled list and elaboration of those concepts and procedural correlates that were most pedagogically transformative in the presenter’s fifty-year teaching experience, ranging from the necessary migrations of sound and sensation across range and register transitions to beneficial articulatory and resonance tuning strategies, and will include guided explorations of application along the way.
