Exploring Group-Voice for all Ages and Stages!
Tuesday 26th May 2026, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
Teaching group-voice classes is an exciting and fun way to teach singing. It affords the singer and teacher opportunities to experience many different aspects of singing in ways that are not possible when working one-one. There are many benefits gained from working in a group, such as opportunities for each student to participate and hear others, chances to experiment with different techniques, styles, and sounds, guided learning from peers, increased awareness of vocal efficiency and effectiveness, and more confidence (and less self-consciousness) in sharing and performing.
“Sing first, talk later” is an approach that encourages interaction from the first class, unlike
a standard lecture format. In this short course, Cynthia Vaughn will share successful strategies to help the teacher plan, prepare, and organize group-voice classes. She recommends using the limited and valuable in-person class time for singing and practical application of the outside-of-class assignments and practice. You cannot learn to sing by reading about singing or watching videos. You learn to sing by singing! What is the ideal class size? How can you add group-voice classes to your current one-one teaching studio to increase your income? How is group-voice different than choir? How is group-voice different than a master class format? How do you get shy singers to participate? How do you ensure that every singer is included and everyone sings every class? How you structure your group-voice classes will vary depending on the participants. Are you teaching general education college students, instrumental music majors, actors and theater students, community choral singers, children, or older adults? You can create custom group-voice classes for any type of singer.
Join Cynthia Vaughn for this fast-paced informative and interactive short-course with time for QA. Come prepared to learn and to SING!

Doubles and Stacks, Reverbs and Effects: Teaching Vocal Production Skills
Kelly Hoppenjans
Vocal production, or the process of recording a voice, is a multifaceted practice requiring a diverse set of skills. It has traditionally been considered the role of the producer in a recording studio, and vocalists can often feel intimidated by learning complex technical skills or prohibited by the cost of recording equipment. This course is aimed at voice coaches and vocalists who want to learn to record and shape their vocal tracks, as well as how to teach these skills to voice students. No matter your technical experience or setup, you can record great-sounding vocals!
