Debbie Winter is the director of the Voice Study Centre and creator of popular Facebook group Voice Geek. Debbie has three published peer reviewed articles and she’s partnered with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David to form a training pathway in vocal pedagogy. Hear her discussion with Alexa on taking the academic route on this week's Singing Teachers Talk.   KEY TAKEAWAYS    Debbie believes the academic route into becoming a singing teacher is good because it enables people from diverse backgrounds and builds on their knowledge in the right areas. It also allows you to think critically about the work you do and form your own opinions from the different methodologies you study. It allows you to build your own pedagogical pathway. The course Debbie is involved with is a masters degree so you will need a degree level qualification already to qualify. There is now a foundation degree where those without a degree already can work towards the masters course if they have the right real world experience. A lot of the students go on to write pieces of work which have been published in well respected places. The Voice Study Centre also opens up its doors for free for special talks on skill development. There are also cheap and affordable courses that are open to everyone.    BEST MOMENTS   ‘A lot of foundation students go on to do some publishable work’  ‘We give 5 times more support than your average academic degree’  ‘You can’t be a lone wolf in the academic field’    EPISODE RESOURCES    BAST Training   Guest Website:  voicestudycentre.com    Social Media:  @voicestudycentre    Relevant Links &amp; Mentions:  Voice Geek Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/VoiceGeek/ Cardiff Metropolitan University: cardiffmet.ac.uk University of Wales Trinity St David: uwtsd.ac.uk Estill: com Juliet Russell: com Emily Foulkes: https://www.musicforgood.uk/projects-3 Dr David Juncos Sophie Garner: com Chadley Ballantyne: https://www.chadleyballantyne.com/ Jeanie LoVetri Somatic Voicework:com  Dr Trineice Robinson-Martin: com Line Hilton:com Respiratory Function in Speech &amp; Song by Thomas J Hixon Voice and Speech Trainers Association (VASTA): vasta.org The Voice and Speech Review (VASTA) Rockford Sansom: com Journal of Voice:org Journal of Interdisciplinary Voice Studies National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS): org Journal of Singing (NATS): https://www.nats.org/cgi/page.cgi/about_journal_singing.html Christian Herbst (Vocal Registers Research) British Voice Association: britishvoiceassociation.org.uk Association of Teachers of Singing (AOTOS): org British Association for Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM): org.uk Debbie Winter: debbie@voicestudycentre.com        ABOUT THE GUEST    Debbie Winter (LLB Hons, MA) lectured in Law and sang professionally on the jazz scene before deciding to change careers and become a vocal coach.

Ep.56 Taking the Academic Route with Debbie Winter

Our second 'VocalScope On Tour' episode, (listen beyond the less than perfect 'on location in a campervan' sound levels!) in which Debbie Winter introduces us to what motivated the varied PGCert, MA, qualification pathways she has developed for Voice Practitioners and Pedagogues in the UK and shares with us the inspirational areas of research her cohort are producing work in. With a PhD in the pipeline, and Debbie’s enormously varied programme of short courses too, Voice Workshop is fast becoming a one stop shop for anyone seeking the opportunity to further develop their knowledge, learning and qualifications in the area of Voice - so do check out www.voiceworkshop.co.uk.
