Vibrato and Non-Vibrato Singing
Thursday 22nd June 2023, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (London Time)
Vibrato is a periodic variation in some aspect of vocal output. Although frequency vibrato is the most commonly recognized type of vibrato, many other facets of singing production vary, especially the amplitude and the timbre.
This course will relate what we currently know about vibrato and non-vibrato singing, demonstrate how we measure and describe vibrato, discuss means to address vibrato and vibrato related issues in studio teaching, and demonstrate methods for training better listening to vibrato in teaching.
Various studies the author has led will be discussed as they relate to course topics.

Redefining Ethical Practice in Voice Teaching!
Dr Justin John Moniz
Join Dr Justin John Moniz as he examines ethical practice in voice teaching through a structured, evidence-informed framework for sustainable, student-centered pedagogy. Although voice teaching operates outside formal licensure models common to allied professions, teachers hold significant responsibility for students’ vocal function, artistic development, and long-term well-being. This course addresses that gap through a five-part paradigm grounded in the NATS Code of Ethics, contemporary research, and applied studio practice.
