Vocal Health in Children and Young People

This talk will consider aspects of vocal health particularly pertinent to children. 

The focus will be on issues which affect adolescents including voice change, performance anxiety, hydration, diet, risky behaviour, hormones, and much more. Olivia will both dispel myths and provide evidence-based advice which voice professionals can pass on with confidence. 

This will be deeply relevant to primary and secondary school music teachers, singing teachers, vocal coaches, and children’s choir directors. 

The talk will include a workshop element where participants will have the opportunity to try out some of the exercises and techniques. Participation is optional!
