Applied Voice Physiology for Classical Singers, Pianists and Conductors
What?
- Singing-relevant anatomy
- Understanding singing-relevant functions and processes
- Method-independent oriented to physiology
- Get to know important "individual parts" of the singing instrument, their functions and possibilities, and thus learn to understand the processes of one's own singing in a non-judgmental way
- Voice physiology simply explained and deliberately kept "easily generally understandable", in order to establish a singing-practice relation, to prevent purely cognitive handling of this subject and thus not to disturb one's own singing
- Analytical listening: Assessing vocal performance as objectively as possible and recognizing "problems" based on physiological and functional principles
