April has proven to be a busy month for Jeanie. She just visited Boston and Providence, stopping by at Wheaton College in Massachusetts in between. Jeanie was the guest clinician for the Rhode Island NATS chapter, gave an open session at Berklee College of Music and worked with teachers of her method, Somatic Voicework™ at Roger Williams University.

In June, Jeanie will attend The Symposium: Care of the Professional Voice in Philadelphia sponsored by the Voice Foundation, an annual event in her life since 1978. She is on the Advisory Board, is a Presentation Coach, and is an adjudicator for the Best Student Research Award. She encourages all who are interested in the voice to attend.
Also, please be aware that the National Center for Voice and Speech holds its annual Summer Vocology Program every year. This excellent training, founded by Dr. Ingo Titze, is a great way to learn about all things “vocal”.

Registration is continuing to pour in for the summer LoVetri Institute for Somatic Voicework™ in residence at Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio. This program, the original training for CCM Vocal Pedagogy, attracts teachers and music educators from all over the USA and many foreign countries. If you are thinking of attending, please register soon, as space is rapidly filling up.Our Jazz Master Teacher at the Institute this summer is the acclaimed Kate McGarry, who will be lecturing and teaching about vocal jazz. Jazz is an important style of CCM and is the basis for all others, except folk music. Jazz is something all singing teachers, SLPs, and MDs should know about, as it shows up everywhere.
