The Injured Singing Voice: Tools for Every Singing Teacher

Taught by Dr. Wendy LeBorgne
Class Dates: July 3, July 10, July 17
Class Times: Monday 5-7pm EST

​Every singing teacher aims to have vocally “healthy” students. This course provides participants with a means to prevent, identify and understand potential vocal injury in singers. Each participant will complete a systematic singing voice evaluation and create an appropriate plan for referral and/or singing training. Participants will also acquire appropriate strategies for studio singing post-vocal injury. This is a workshop-style course with multimedia, including video examples, audio examples and performance/assessment.

Testimonials

Dr. Wendy Leborgne is a educator. Every singing teacher or aspiring singing teacher needs to take this course on understanding the injured voice and the power of functional exercises before trying to treat or even diagnose a vocal injury; she explains everything in simple terms yet always has the science to back up methodology that flies in the face of traditional teaching and is transforming the elite singing industry.
