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
As well as students of AOTOS members participating in the masterclasses, we are thrilled to have members of the National Youth Choirs Great Britain Fellowship Octet: Danni O’Neill and Gabriella Noble in Christopher Goldsack and Janet Shell’s masterclass, and Jack Harberd and Ailsa Campbell in Kathleen McKellar Ferguson’s masterclass.
