Thursday 6th April 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
Esteemed ENT surgeon, Professor Robert Sataloff has written and spoken widely about voice issues and has had a major impact on his field of practice.
As a singer himself, he has a specialist interest in developing treatments for voice disorders in singers and performers.
This online event will review some of the common diagnoses that he sees and explore effective and innovative care, including surgical, and multidisciplinary team treatment.
With over 1,000 publications including 72 books under his belt, and the accolade of having written the first modern comprehensive article on care of singers, this course will also offer singers and teachers with an interest in getting published an insight into the rigorous and credible research methods that the medical community undertakes.
We will learn how we might adapt our own practice and elevate our academic prowess.

Unclenching the Jaw: Options from the Physio Lens
Walt Fritz
“Jaw tension” is one of many potential problems facing the singer, and can cause a direct negative impact on the performance in both direct and indirect ways. The underlying cause of jaw issues is attributed to numerous factors (technique, posture, strength, range of motion, etc.), making it often difficult to identify common denominators. Join Walt Fritz as he examines the evidence supporting stretching, strengthening, and manual therapy interventions to address jaw-related concerns in vocal performers, taking into account their unique needs.
