This course can be attended by singers of all kinds of styles, choral conductors, actors, drama coaches, speech pathologists, vocal coaches and professional speakers. Jo Estill developed a system where you can learn to use your voice in a safe and healthy way, improve your technique, acquire possibilities you never imagined to reach.

We work in plenum and practice groups to analyse all sounds of the voice, and see how the voice works anatomically and acoustically, based on scientific research. We watch video’s and demonstrations to learn all the basic figures of Level One. In the Open Sessions we can implement our new knowledge immediately.

Figuren voor stemcontrole 

Deze cursus is geschikt voor zangers van alle soorten stijlen, koordirigenten, acteurs, dramadocenten, logopedisten, stemtrainers en professionele sprekers. Jo Estill heeft een systeem ontworpen waarmee je kan leren je stem te gebruiken op een veilige en gezonde manier, je techniek te verbeteren en mogelijkheden te ontwikkelen waarvan je niet eens wist dat je ze kon bereiken.

We werken in plenaire groep, alsook in kleinere oefengroepen om alle stemgeluiden te analyseren en te ontdekken hoe de stem werkt, anatomisch en akoestisch, gebaseerd op wetenschappelijk onderzoek. We bekijken video’s en demonstraties om alle basisfiguren van Niveau Een aan te leren. In de Open Sessies kunnen we de nieuw verkregen kennis direct toepassen.

Level 1,  Eur 375;  Eur 575,- voor een combinatie Level 1 + Level 2

In deze workshop beschouwen we de 13 Figuren van Level Een en de 6 Kwaliteiten van Level Twee in een vogelvlucht. We maken kennis met de theorie en de praktische mogelijkheden van de bouwstenen van het Estill Voice Training Systeem.

De Verplichte Stem Figuren is een innovatieve methode om stemmen te trainen van alle leeftijden, die gebruikt kunnen worden voor elke willekeurige stijl.
 
 De 13 Figuren, waaronder Toonaanzet, Verhemelte Controle, Strottenhoofdstanden en Stembandmassa geven met hun variatiemogelijkheden 37 verschillende opties.
 
 Deze zijn gemakkelijk aan te leren en maakt dat zelfs kinderen en mensen die nog nooit gezongen hebben gemakkelijk alle verschillende Figuren en Kwaliteiten kunnen produceren. De basis is, weten wat er fysiologisch en anatomisch gedaan moet worden om de diverse klanken te verkrijgen.
  
Tijdens deze Introductie wordt er ook kort aandacht besteed aan akoestiek en perceptie van de stem. Deze onderdelen dragen bij aan het begrijpen van het gebruik van de stem.
  
De cursus is toegankelijk voor iedereen die meer over de stem wil weten, ongeacht achtergrond; voor zangers, zangdocenten, acteurs, coaches, managers, trainers, sprekers, logopedisten, koordirigenten en koorzangers.
 
 De prijs is 75 Euro

Voor iedereen die ersnel bij is en boekt en betaald voor 1/3/2012 geldt een vroegboekkorting van 10 Euro. Je betaalt dan dus 65 Euro.

The one-day workshop focuses on the dynamic nature of voice production, providing an opportunity to examine vocal anatomy and physiology outlined in Estill Voice Training Level One and Level Two in greater detail. The day explores the breathing apparatus and structures of the vocal tract, as well as exploring key concepts such as the Bernoulli Effect, Dynamical Systems Theory and the Power-Source-Filter Model in terms of the Estill Voice Model.

Please book this course through www.reevemoller.com.

This is a practical course where you experience creating the six voice qualities associated with Estill Voice Training: speech, falsetto, sob, twang, opera and belt. Discussion focuses on how to mix these qualities safely and how to apply them artistically in different genres. Presentations will be combined with small group practice sessions and master classes. As well as teachers and students of performance, this course will also be of interest to speech and language therapists with voice clients. Level Two is only for those who have already completed Level One.

Overview: This day follows on from previous Breathing and Support workshops in response to many requests for further information on the physiology of breathing when performing, acting and singing. The teaching of ‘support’ is still an area fraught with misunderstanding and misinformation. The key to effective teaching of this crucial area of vocal technique is clear understanding of the physiological basis for the need to ‘support’, what is being supported and the most efficient ways to achieve this. Building on information given on earlier courses, we will identify which muscles are needed to support the voice by clarifying the relationship between breath and vocalisation. By using ultrasound techniques, we will also identify those muscles which undermine vocal support and those which are essential to sustained, vigorous voice use, in speaking or singing. Using real time ultrasound, we will demonstrate which muscles tend to be overactive, overwhelming those which are necessary to efficient vocal function. The day will conclude with a short master class, demonstrating the application of the day’s principles in the teaching studio.

The day will include:

Defining ‘support’ physiologically

Use of ultrasound to identify key support muscles

Demonstration of teaching techniques

Myths and misinformation – disentangling fact from fiction

Audio and video examples

Short master class

Suitable for: For people both new and familiar with the Model, looking for clarification and consolidation; singers and actors; teachers of voice and singing; students and professionals.

Overview: Belting continues to be a staple of West End and Pop & Rock singing. Once the basics have been mastered, many people still find it difficult to extend their belting range over the ‘break’ or experience problems in certain repertoire.

Today we will address high end Belting on demand in difficult repertoire, identifying the underlying causes of inconsistencies and limitations and offering practical solutions.

This day will be very practical and hands on; the afternoon session will be given over to a master class.

The day will include:

•   When to Belt for maximum effect

•   Problem areas and solutions

•   Belting over the break

•   Improving the Belting aesthetic (aka making it sound nice…)

•   Audio and video examples

•   Live demonstrations from West End singers

•   Short master class

Suitable for:  NOT suitable for beginners. For people familiar with the Model, looking  for clarification and consolidation; singers and teachers; students and professionals.

Overview:  Always a popular course, this day will look at the integration of the Estill Model into traditional singing teaching approaches, addressing common vocabulary and practical exercises.  The day will focus on the most common problems encountered in the teaching studio and how to bring those solutions into performance, live and recorded. Analysis of the causes and solutions for commonly encountered vocal difficulties will be addressed, demonstrating the unique advantages the Estill Model can bring in identifying specific vocal problems. There will also be demonstration lessons at different levels of proficiency, students and professionals, with practical help and advice ‘in Camera’.

The day will include:

Brief overview of the Estill Model

•   Common problems; traditional answers and the Estill equivalent

•   Audio and video examples

•   Q & As

•   Short master class

Suitable for:  Those new to the Model, anyone who teaches singing or who is a singer, either professional or student.
