AOTOS Autumn Conference

Please join us for our 2024 Autumn Conference: ‘A Breath of Fresh Air’

The conference will be held at our perennial favourite venue, the beautiful St Paul’s Girls’ School in Hammersmith, London.

This conference will explore different famous breathing methods, all of which started as general breathing techniques for health and speech that were so successful that they have been adapted over the years by experienced singing practitioners for use by singers.

There will be inspirational presentations and practical workshops throughout the day, with take-home skills for you to use in your teaching studios, and ideas for new directions to develop your vocal technique and those of your students.

Pamela Hay

Come and join us, and settle that most persistent of questions: “how do I support the voice?”

We would love to see you there.
