Course - Singing in the Brain: the neurology of singing and learning
Much of this is found ‘hard-wired’ into systems in the brain and leads us to the next questions of how we learn the skills that are involved in singing and voice use. There is a great deal of recent research into the acquisition of motor learning skills in sport; much of this is relevant for voice education, some needs to be adapted. We can also glean from the last 50 years of education research: what are the best models for teaching style and learning environments?
Alongside this theoretical information, we will look into the neurological systems governing our responses at a much deeper level: the autonomic nervous system, vagal responses, emotions and primal sound.
As we investigate these ideas, we will explore the outcomes in small discussion groups.
"I just wanted to say a thank you for the course this week. It was fascinating to go through all the detailed science, and address lots of misconceptions. I've written down lots of exercises to try when we can start again - really exciting to have so many new techniques. It worked really well over Zoom (was probably easier for me with work!) and would be keen to do more in future."
