​Continuing Professional Development

​Keeping it relevant!

Over the past 20 years there has been an explosion in voice research and pedagogy and things have come a long way since teachers simply told students to “sing from the diaphragm!”. I like to keep abreast of new developments and approaches to voice coaching and see this as an essential part of offering cutting edge vocal training.

Here are some of the courses I’ve participated in recently:

Voice Science Works  - July 2018
