What does it mean to be a singing teacher in 2019? This conference pulls together many of the skills today’s teachers need in their armoury – from CCM teaching and classical song to science, languages, marketing, communication, and health…

  • Paul Harris If my pupils would only practise more!
  • Dane Chalfin Primal voice in teaching contemporary and commercial singing
  • Janet Shell The emotionally intelligent teacher: how to create a positive learning environment
  • Christopher Goldsack What makes the voice work? The physics of the voice, and does it really matter?
  • Paul Deegan The Ships of Arcady: the moving story of the poet Francis Ledwidge
  • Kathleen McKellar Ferguson Taste the text and smell it first: a masterclass with students
  • Christopher Goldsack and Janet Shell Preparing students to work with languages, with a practical guide to the International Phonetics Alphabet.
  • Angela Durrant Engaging with the ether: online singing lessons and using social media to market your singing business
  • Joanne Edworthy How singing enhances the lives of people with Parkinson’s
