Topics will include:

- Finding space to set up a studio
- How to find students

- Advertising
- Rates to charge
- How to assess incoming students
- Studio policy
- Online support for your studio
- Online lessons
- Group lessons
- Hiring another teacher

Noel will share the good, the bad and the ugly followed by a question and answer session.

Learning together: group singing and choral pedagogy

Dr David Cane

The benefits of group singing are well documented and well known. Singing together can foster a sense of social connection and community as well enhancing wellbeing and mood.  However, group singing is not only a shared cultural and artistic experience, but can also be a powerful site of learning. While many of the developments in voice pedagogy have tended to centre around the one-to-one model of teaching, this course with Dr David Cane explores the pedagogical (and potentially the political) potential of teaching and learning to sing collectively.
