Sing Up wellbeing: Maintaining good vocal health
Good vocal health is important for all voice users, especially teachers. Everyone can avoid problems by being aware of, and avoiding, the sort of things that are potentially harmful to their voices. In this session, we will highlight the main causes of voice problems for teachers and explore ways to minimise or eliminate them, allowing you to head off small problems before they become big ones. The session will include practical breathing, postural and vocal exercises for tip top vocal health.
