-8 GESTURE TRAINING PROGRAMME
After 9 years of testing and research with top scientists and vocal pedagogues, the EMBODIMA™ programme has come up with an entire dictionary of gestures that cover many of the demands of singing through accessing combinations of muscle movements that cannot be consciously activated.
These kinaesthetic motor images cover many aspects of vocal technique such as supporting intervals, maintaining pitch, resonance and flow, dynamics, phrasing, onsets, etc. and achieving the demands of different styles of singing from legato to coloratura. They can be used in technical training and/or applied directly to repertoire.
Each EMBODIMA™ image accesses key muscle coordination by activating visual, motor and sensory areas in the brain. These images are now incorporated into a book of gesture-images for teachers of singing. Embodima TM explores imagery in vocal training, imagination in performance, the muscles of singing, vocal neuroscience and how the brain responds to imagery.
Teacher Training Days
Learn, experience and embody motor imagery in a visual and physical way that can be immediately applied to the teaching and learning of singing.
We're very excited to announce that after a fascinating introductory training session we have now set up specialised training days for teachers via University of Oxford's prestigious Faculty of Music and Holywell Music Room.
Due to Coronavirus pandemic, online training is available in small groups with interactive learning, practical and experiential practice and individual workshopping. Contact for this course is 12 hours, spread over 4 consecutive sessions.
Training groups commenced in October and have been rolling forwards every month since then.
We are now booking for September 2021, commencing on September 5th.
Please email Nicola via the Contact page to sign up.
There is also the option of an Advanced follow-up Day for graduates of the Embodima training. This is currently run as a full day online course. There will also be further modules available on the neuroscience and anatomy of KMI.
We now have a number of graduates of the course who have interactive access and private forum to discuss and share with each other and CPD.
Embodima is a highly efficient addition to the committed and enquiring vocal teacher's box of tools.
