Working with kids, teens and young adults

Many teachers of singing who do private lessons or who work with choirs have questions about vocal health, appropriate range, good musical choices and making adjustments for age and ability.  Come find out about all of this. Jeanie has worked with all populations and a very wide range of ages, abilities and capacities. This large population of fledgling singers deserves high-quality vocal training. Let’s look into that.

Working with Seniors – Re-kindling The Voice and Body

It is very possible to sing for your entire life. There is much research to prove the body responds to exercises at any age. Working with an older adult who wants to sing, or someone who might not have sung for decades or who has specific age-related limitations, it is possible to bring singing back to those who seek it. Want to volunteer or have a student who would be willing to work with Jeanie? Send us a 60 second video.

Dates: Sunday September 11, 18, 25, October 2

Times: 1:00-3:00 PM EDT

Cost: $200 USD for Somatic Voicework™ graduates of at least Level I; $250 USD for those who have yet to complete any Somatic Voicework™ levels

Why do singing voice exercises work — and when they don’t work, why not?

As always, for those who cannot complete the webinar series in real time, all participants can complete the course at their own leisure. All participants will have access to the video archive for 12 months from the final day of the course.

Week I: Strength vs. Tension, Beauty vs. Power (Sunday, March 6th)

Week I will break down some of the most successful vocal exercises down to their component parts, exploring the science of what is really happening when we make different sounds, and deconstruct the when/why of choosing different vocal exercises.

The academic discussion of the exercises will be followed by a practical exploration of the exercises with Jeanie LoVetri demonstrating and working with her esteemed faculty to highlight the successful execution of the various vocal exercises.

Week II: The Source-Filter Model of Vocal Production (Sunday, March 20th)

Week II will explore the interconnected relationship between the vocal folds and the vocal tract. What part of our vocal apparatus is responsible for what? How do these areas interact? How do you isolate them? How do you know what to fix when something goes wrong?
The academic discussion of the exercises will be followed by a practical exploration of the exercises with Jeanie LoVetri demonstrating and working with her esteemed faculty to highlight the successful execution of the various vocal exercises.
