This cutting-edge volume brings together educational research and practical strategies to align voice pedagogy with the twenty-first century teacher and student.
Using a student-centered focus as a philosophical foundation, the book offers a blueprint for developing an inclusive approach when working with singers and cultivating a healthy mindset for vocal performance and learning across all genres. Chapters review concepts geared toward best practices for teaching and learning in the applied studio environment. Specific strategies consider the changing landscape of the vocal world as well as changes the voice encounters as it evolves over the course of a lifetime.
Part one provides insight into the practice of student-centered teaching and learning while the part two shares insights from different educational contexts, including working with trans singers, choral versus solo singing, and fostering a culturally responsive approach in the studio. Blending the academic worlds of education, voice science, and musical performance allows for opportunities to find commonalities in practice and encourages an open-minded and growth-oriented approach to voice pedagogy. As the voice changes across a lifetime, so does the informed pedagogue who evolves and develops as a practitioner.
A cutting-edge volume that brings together educational research and practical strategies to align voice pedagogy with the twenty-first century teacher and student.
