Estill Explained at American Choral Directors Association Conference
Date: 02/02/2010
Participants at the recent American Choral Directors Association East Conference were treated to an Estill Voice Training workshop for Choirs. Dr. Kimberly Steinhauer, CCI, presented Estill highlights including False Vocal Fold Retraction and elements of Level Two to choral singers and conductors at the conference in Philadelphia, PA. "Amazing!" said Dr. Thomas Lloyd, associate professor of music at Haverford College, who arranged the workshop after attending his first Estill Voice Training course at California University of Pennsylvania. His article My encounter with Estill Voice Training (PDF) was published in the ACDA Troubador. Click on the title or the document to read the entire inspiring article.
"BE (Before Estill) I used to ask my various teachers why I couldn't do certain things and never got a straight or useful answer. The first Estill workshop I attended in Australia was a revelation for me. I grieved for the voice I should have had for at least 12 months. .However, my main purpose now, is to pass on this wonderful work to as many people as I can. I am positive that Estill has answers!"
