We also reveal some of the conversations and techniques we share with our Registered Teachers, our latest cohort of singing teachers and choir leaders, and our private 1-1 performance coaching and teacher training sessions.This is the unpolished version. No highlight reel. Just what the work actually looks like.If you're a singing teacher or vocal coach, you'll probably recognise more of this than you expect.Our Master-Apprentice Model survey link is here - please fill it in if you are an independent singing teacher, vocal coach or choir leader.https://www.cognitoforms.com/VocalProcess1/Master-Apprentice-Model-In-Singing-TeachingMaking Music That Matters, the book by Melissa Forbes we talk about, is here: https://www.routledge.com/Making-Music-That-Matters-Positive-Music-Leadership-for-Social-Health/Forbes/p/book/9781032724157Gillyanne said this about it: "Extensively researched, theories of positive psychology and leadership are interwoven with reports from singing and music leaders.

Send us Fan MailIn vocal health and voice rehabilitation, where does the speech language therapist's role end and the singing teacher's role begin?In part 2 of this conversation, Jeremy Fisher and Dr Gillyanne Kayes go deeper into the relationship between the singing teacher and the SLT/SLP, exploring where the overlap is helpful, where boundaries matter, and why referral is sometimes the most professional thing you can do.They unpack some of the practical questions raised while teaching SLTs on a recent course in Northern Ireland, including breath management, phonation, pressure and flow, resonance strategies, vocal identity, and the challenge of helping singers transfer healthy voice function into real speech and singing.This episode also gets into the human side of voice work. What happens when a change in speaking or singing function feels like a change in identity? Why can the right exercise feel completely wrong to a vulnerable singer? And how can both professions work together without overstepping their expertise?You'll also hear some wonderfully odd but effective voice exercises, including pitch-play, negative practice, conversation training therapy, and toothbrush intelligibility work.If you heard part 1, this episode takes the conversation further, into the real-life overlap between professions, and why mutual respect, collaboration and clear boundaries are essential for healthy voice work.In this episode:00:00 Teaching vocal function to SLTs02:01 Breath, phonation, registers, pressure and flow04:32 “That's not me”, identity and singing sound07:45 Registers, chest voice, fluty soprano, and bridging mechanisms09:18 Why a new vocal setup can feel out of tune13:42 Weird exercises that actually work 14:56 Permission slips, silliness, and experimentation16:04 Humming, inner hearing and finding pitch 19:10 Meaning, melody & “Feed the dog”20:13 Starting with real speech, not isolated drills24:37 The toothbrush exercise for intelligibility, jaw release & tongue freedom29:05 What singing teachers can learn from clinical practice31:15 Respect the boundary, keep the collaborationListen if you're a singing teacher, SLT, vocal coach, choir leader, voice trainer or singer who wants a clearer sense of who does what, and why it matters.Remember to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon for more insightful episodes.

Send us Fan MailWhat's the difference between a speech and language therapist (or pathologist) and a singing teacher? Where do those roles overlap and where should the boundaries be?In this episode of This Is a Voice, Jeremy Fisher and Dr Gillyanne Kayes explore the similarities and differences between the work of an SLT/SLP and a singing teacher, especially when singers or professional voice users arrive with voice problems, vocal fatigue, or concerns about vocal health. The conversation begins after teaching a course for SLTs in Northern Ireland, where questions about overlap, gaps & boundaries kept coming up.Gillyanne and Jeremy unpack the difference between a more medicalized approach and a more functional one, showing how clinicians may be focused on diagnosis, pathology, red flags and referral pathways, while singing teachers and vocal coaches are often focused on efficiency, stamina, clarity, range, coordination and performance goals.   * when a singer should be referred onward   * why singing teachers need to stay inside their scope of practice   * how to think about vocal load   * why voice problems are often multifactorial, a “perfect storm”   * what singing teachers can legitimately observe and ask00:00 Singing teachers training SLTs01:30 Why this SLT training course was different03:45 Overlaps, gaps and boundaries05:57 Singing teachers can help retrain coordination08:33 Medicalized vs functional voice work11:42 Multifactorial voice problems and boundaries15:43 Perfectionism, performance pressure and voice recovery19:57 Case study, effortful voice through 2 different lenses23:29 What to hear, see and ask before giving exercises25:24 Why context matters more than generic exercises26:33 What is my job today in this room?28:00 Case history, profiling and trial interventions31:34 Being a detective, testing and evaluating exercisesIf you're interested in voice therapy, vocal pedagogy, functional voice training, singing teaching, rehabilitation vs habilitation, and referral decisions, this episode is packed with practical insight from two voice experts who train speech therapistsRemember to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon for more insightful episodes.

Send a textWhat if the teacher-student relationship in a singing lesson is not just the backdrop to vocal training, but the engine that shapes confidence, motivation, wellbeing and even performance anxiety?In Season 12 Episode 7 of This Is A Voice, we're joined by Michelle Robinson (singer, psychologist and researcher) to explore what the research says about relationship quality in one-to-one music teaching, and why it can determine whether learning feels safe and survivable, or tense and threatening.We talk about:Why the teacher–student relationship is mutually influential (it's not one-way)The three core ingredients of healthy learning relationships: Closeness, Commitment, ComplementarityHow relationship quality links to motivation, autonomy, and wellbeingThe master–apprentice tradition, where it helps, where it can harmWhat “good teaching” looks like in micro-behaviours, not slogansRepairing ruptures, rebuilding trust, and creating studios where singers can truly sound like themselvesThis one is for singers, vocal coaches, singing teachers, choral directors and people who cares about high standards without fear-based training.00:00 – Why relationships matters more than we admit01:34 – Meet Michelle: singer → psychologist → researcher06:37 – “The relationship is mutually interdependent”, what that really means08:26 – What does the teacher need?10:48 – Jeremy's hard lesson about different energies17:51 – TWO humans in the room24:30 – The 3 pillars: closeness, commitment, complementarity29:02 – When “closeness” becomes unhealthy (blurred boundaries)31:34 – IS there an inherent power dynamic?33:09 – Students and safeguarding

To kick off the 2026 season, Alexa and Jenevora Williams dive into the fascinating world of motor learning and what it really means for singing and teaching singing. From walking toddlers and chocolate metaphors to the neuroscience behind skill acquisition, the conversation unpacks why learning to sing is far more complex—and far more human—than we often assume. Together they explore implicit versus explicit learning, internal versus external focus, imagination, metaphor, and the role of trust, play, and mistake-making in vocal development. A thoughtful, wide-ranging discussion that invites singing teachers to simplify their language, deepen their listening, and give both themselves and their students permission to learn messily and creatively. WHAT'S IN THIS PODCAST?  1:59 What is motor control and motor learning?10:41 What are the stages of learning?15:48 What is the brain and larynx interface?18:59 Internal Vs External focus in motor learning33:35 Choosing metaphorical and imagery based instruction50:53 Impairment to motor skills55:09 The future of voice pedagogy integrating neuroscience and imaginationAbout the presenter HERERELEVANT MENTIONS Singing Teachers Talk Ep.75 Vocal Rehabilitation for Singers Motor Control, Motor Learning and Brain-Computer InterfacesHeidi Moss EricksonHearing Singing: A Guide to Functional Listening and Voice Perception by Ian HowellSinging Teachers Talk Ep.237 Beyond the Vocal Tract: How the Brain Shapes What We Hear with Ian HowellTilting ArticlePaul EckmanPEVoCVocal Health EducationABOUT THE GUESTDr Jenevora Williams is an expert in the fields of vocal health and singing teaching.

This week's episode is extra special because I'm joined by my precious and precocious six-year-old daughter, Riley Grace Gores — my favorite guest of all time. We sat down for a sweet and silly conversation about all the things that light her up — from fashion to Disneyland adventures, singing lessons, and what she dreams of being when she grows up.   We also talk about family memories, the fire that changed our lives, and what she's learned about bravery, kindness, and joy along the way. Riley even shares her favorite and least favorite things about yours truly, her ideal superpower (it involves candy), and a favorite impersonation that she learned from a certain Dancing with the Stars host.    It's a tender, funny, and endearing conversation that reminded me how much wisdom and innocence lives in a child's heart — and how healing (and awakening!) it can be to see the world through their eyes. By the way, Riley made sure I treated her like an Amex and “DO NOT leave home without her” :) . I hope this episode brings a smile to your face and a little more light to your day.

Because singing praise to God is part of how we present our bodies as a live sacrifice to Him (Rom. 12:1; Ps. 100:2), we must know how to do it. Here are six key lessons. First, sing to teach one another. Second, sing to admonish one another. Third, sing to help you remember God’s word. Fourth, sing strong with gusto. Fifth, sing to proclaim truth. And, sixth, sing for the unity of the church. Don’t be passive with your children; teach them how to sing! Don’t let them mindlessly sing when they come to church, but help them understand what they’re doing. All of this is for one purpose—to point to Jesus Christ, our only hope in life and death. Sermon: https://churchandfamilylife.com/sermons/67c545f36f987cfc0eba616e

Kaya Herstad-Carney returns to the podcast but this time she's brought her Mary Poppins bag of tricks. Join Alexa and Kaya as they discuss the gadgets and props you can use as a singing teacher, the benefits they have to the student's voice and learning, and how best to utilise them in your singing lessons. KEY TAKEAWAYS Using props in singing training provides a kinesthetic experience, prompting students to consider technique and form habits that feel innate. Physical engagement aids memory recall, reinforcing learning through tactile stimuli. This approach enhances understanding and skill development in vocal performance, it's also more fun.  Balls aid singing teaching by enhancing breath control and support through exercises like tossing or squeezing. They engage students physically and mentally, adding a playful distraction that fosters focus and skill development. Straw warm-ups, blowing air through a straw into water or the air, enhance singing by focusing airflow and promoting proper breath support. They gently prepare the voice, reducing strain, improving resonance, and enhancing vocal control for better performance.

In the enlightening episode "Transform Your Singing NOW: The 3 Essential Elements of Song" of "Monique on the Mic," we delve into the often overlooked yet crucial aspects that can significantly elevate your singing. If you're unsure where to start your vocal improvement journey, this episode is a goldmine of actionable steps.We begin by addressing a common blind spot in vocal training. While many understand the need for lessons and the importance of singing in tune and with style, few are aware of the three essential elements that act as levers to enhance their performance: Notes, Words, and Rhythms. These elements are key to understanding not just how to sing a song, but how to make it truly professional.Firstly, we explore 'Notes,' focusing on pitch, quality, and vibrato, all of which are integral to vocal technique. Then we move to 'Words,' where vowels, consonants, and intelligibility play a crucial role, adding personal expression to your singing. Lastly, 'Rhythm' is discussed, likened to the stitching in clothing, which affects the overall quality of your performance.In summary, these three elements are indispensable for transforming your singing from amateur to exceptional. They are deeply connected to both vocal technique and musicianship. By focusing on these elements, even in just one song, you will see a significant improvement in your overall singing skills, moving beyond mediocrity to true vocal artistry.If you have a topic you'd like me to discuss please send me an email at :info@moniqebthomas.com
