Training for singing teachers

Laryngeal structures palpation and relaxation techniques

Get a grip on the larynx

This training day is aimed at singing teachers who want to understand the larynx in more depth - not just theoretically, but above all in a physical and practical way. You will be able to explore the challenges of vocal performance with new eyes and strengthen your own professional skills with concrete tools.

Why participate?

This training offers perspectives and embodied understanding that are rarely covered as part of a singing teacher training, and are often not learned from books but through insight and experience.

  • Learn to identify muscle tensions that affect the voice

  • You will practice palpation and bodily observation through pair work

  • Get concrete relaxation and self-care techniques

  • Learn to distinguish physiological constraints from technical challenges

  • Gain more confidence and sensitivity to support students individually

Content of the training

The training introduces you to the function of the larynx and its surrounding structures and how their condition affects the use of sound. Identifying muscle tension in the larynx and neck, palpation and relaxation techniques will be taught in practice - through pair work and self-exercise.

You will walk away with practical exercises and an understanding of how these methods can support everyday singing teaching - especially when the traditional technical approach does not bring the desired change.

  • Yesterday I got to apply the techniques you taught me with one of my singers! I noticed that the student's tongue stayed lower on the right side and then I guided him through a few palpations. After a while the tongue leveled out and the vibe and tone was there!
