Vocal injuries are a serious workplace health and safety issue and are quite common. Vocal injury prevention and training is like an insurance policy for all teachers, whether they are experiencing voice problems or not.
This workshop aims to empower teachers with a deeper understanding and insight into their own voices. Throughout the day via interactive and practical sessions we will explore the anatomy of the voice, learn how to conserve and protect the voice as well as master exercises such as warm up routines and safe vocal projection techniques.
Get ready for a practical and fun day designed to leave teachers with renewed confidence in their vocal ability and endurance.
