Workshops & Short Courses

Short Courses for
Voice Teachers & Vocal Coaches

These one-hour and short-format workshops are designed to help you build practical skills quickly, and without the time commitment of a full training.

Each workshop focuses on a specific concept drawn from the NeuroVocal Method® and can be taken on its own or as part of a larger learning path. 

Whether you’re:

  • exploring new approaches

  • refining your teaching

  • or maintaining your NVM certification

you’ll find options here that meet you where you are.

Meet the Instrument:
What your voice degree left out

If you got a music degree, you might have had one pedagogy class that might have included anatomy.

If you didn't get a music degree, you may have looked around online to learn about how voices are put together.

But how are you going to feel knowledgable about the actual workings of the human voice?

Listen. You don't need a subscription to an online library. You don't need a long-form class. You don't need to get 30 different answers to your question in a forum. 

 

You need an hour with the infectiously enthusiastic Dr. Heather Nelson.

Dr. Nelson has created this guest presentation for us at NeuroVocal, and we're thrilled! If you're the voice and science nerd we think you are, you're going to love this workshop!

 

(And, psst...if you're on our mailing list you'll get a discount code, so watch your email!)

The Nasty Triangle:
Why & How for A High Mix

Applied with the right foundation, this tool is freakishly effective.

How to Coach
Singers of Popular Styles

A brain that is working to meet an external expectation is operating in a very different way than a brain that’s trying to solve a problem. And that's a major difference between teaching and coaching. TBH? You're probably already making some use of this brain hack!
 

Our brains’ built-in error-correction system is not only the best way to create lasting learning, but it can solve problems that are beyond the reach of the conscious mind. Leaning into this neurological tendency can encourage confidence while making the learning process stickier, faster, and a lot more fun!
 

Learn about this magic wand of learning, and how to apply coaching skills to get the most from it!
