Vocal Health & Wellness for Singers

This double feature masterclass provides essential information for vocal students of all levels, choral singers and conductors, music teachers, and other singing professionals.

Yoga for Singers covers practical tips for improving vocal performance through warm-ups, breathing exercises, and mindfulness practice.

The Healthy Voice: Strategies for Fatigue, Illness, and Longevity, is an interactive, science-informed workshop designed to help performers understand, protect, and manage their voices under fatigue, or illness. Through demonstrations, guided exercises, and practical tools, participants learn how to sustain and manage their vocal load to support their longevity as performers, adapt safely when their voice is compromised, and recover effectively after illness.

Note: Participants should bring notetaking materials (journal and pen), a water bottle, and wear clothes that allow for movement. Socks or bare feet recommended, no marking shoes allowed.
