This course, offered in conjunction with the Langone Voice Center at the NYU School of Medicine, trains voice teachers as singing health specialists, building on prerequisite knowledge of vocal function thus increasing understanding of the care required for a compromised singing voice. Enhanced skills of aural discernment in placing voices on a spectrum from optimally functional to some degree of compromised function will expand assessment ability within the context of the private studio in order to determine if any singer is in need of specialized guidance.
