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 gestures 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 with Vocal Process in London on the 19th October, we had now set up specialised training days for teachers at one of London's conservatoires (tba).
The first training day with be on March1st, with a second, follow-through training and feedback day on April 19th. Places are limited, so do register interest on the contact form here or via Vocal Process website.
There are many tools to free the imagination so that teachers are able to be more creative with their teaching, and learn a universal set of gestures that students will recognise and respond to immediately.
