Practical Vocal Pedagogy Summer Workshop

Practical Vocal Pedagogy Workshop – AUGUST 7 & 8, 2026

PVP Advanced Workshop – AUGUST 10 & 11, 2026

The ECU Practical Vocal Pedagogy Summer Workshop is an on-site workshop for the voice teacher or choral conductor with interest in gaining practical information and applicable skills that directly relate to working with singers.

Whether in a classroom, a choral rehearsal space, or a one-on-one studio environment, this workshop offers concrete information grounded in voice science and presented through PRACTICAL tools, techniques, and demonstrations that can be integrated into any vocal environment.

• Gain a more complete understanding of the instrument
• Expand diagnostic skills (for the ensemble and one-on-one environment)
• Explore tools for addressing intonation, vowel modification, resonance, registration, breath and body connection

You are not at the mercy of the ‘talent’ level of the singers in front of you.

Build responsible singers with reliable skills they can own, grow, and use to communicate authentically.

The ECU PVP Advanced Workshop is open to a limited number of participants who have already attended the original workshop and who wish to expand their pedagogical skillset with one-on-one instruction and hands-on practical application learning.  Eligible participants must have completed the original workshop in a previous year.  Spots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.

Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits are available for both workshops.

REGISTRATION OPENS MARCH 2026
