Teacher Training Programme

We offer:

• An in-depth insight into good vocal technique delivered through outstanding workshops and online modules led by Vocal Balance founders Julie and Richard.
• The opportunity to work with other industry professionals in Mental Health, Vocal Health, Anatomy, Business and Life skills.
• A structured method for lesson teaching and guidelines for monitoring the progress of every student.
• The chance to become part of a teaching community which will provide support throughout the trainee’s learning and singing journey.

What is Vocal Balance?

• Understanding your voice and what it tends to do.
• Technical flexibility and stamina.
• Connecting to text, both as a necessity in itself and as a technical aid.
• Permission to fail - playing, experimenting and experiencing.
• Inclusive atmosphere.
• Realising that singing is a 'function' as well as an 'art form' – not necessarily complicated but a physiological co-ordination none the less.

As a Vocal Balance practitioner you will be given the tools to start your journey as a Vocal Balance singing teacher led by highly acclaimed and qualified teaching staff who are teaching industry professionals at the top of their game in the West End, on International and National Tours, Cruise Ships and Regional Productions. We also focus on teaching non-professionals and young people in order to help you build an all round teaching practice.
