The workshop will:

• Provide practical tools for upskilling singers, singing teachers, musical directors and choral conductors, and also speech and language therapists working with singers or actors.

• Remove the mystique surrounding how sound is actually produced.

• Vocal Health – Help explain how an understanding of the anatomy informs and changes technique, which in turn provides healthier methods of singing.

• Demonstrate the artistic capabilities and freedom that result from a singer knowing how to ‘work’ their vocal instrument safely.

• Draw on the best from a range of techniques and methods rather than promote one ‘model’ for singing.

• Provide opportunities for teachers and singers to present case studies, scenarios or issues they have encountered and find new approaches to solving vocal problems.

• Enable practitioners of different levels of ability and experience to engage, learn and share in a relaxed, fun and yet highly motivated atmosphere.
