BROADSTAIRS SOPRANO EXPLORES SECRETS OF THE HUMAN VOICE

The secrets of the human voice will be laid bare in a lecture organised by Broadstairs singer Sarah Hale on Friday 19th February 2010 at 1pm at St Gregory’s Centre, Canterbury.

The lecture entitled “The Where, What, How of the Voice” aims to demystify common voice problems and explain the principles of good voice care.

Sarah, who is a singing teacher in the Music department at Christ Church University, said that the talk will be of wide interest – and not just to singers.

She said: “We all use our voices everyday in our jobs and at home. As a teacher I certainly use my voice all the time and we have many students who are singers with heavy performance schedules. This lecture will give vital information to all those with an interest in their voice!”

Sarah has a special interest in the human voice and its potential medical benefits. She has invited her singing teacher Linda Hutchison to give the lecture.

Linda specialises in helping singers with speech and vocal problems and is currently advisor to Bart’s Hospital, London and Chatham Maritime Hospital, will speak at the event.

Linda will look at how the larynx develops and changes over time and things which are good – and not so good – for the health of your voice.

After a notable performing career which included working for the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company as a principal soprano, Linda became interested in the anatomy of the voice and is now a leading adviser to singers with voice problems.

This lecture features as a series of events and workshops which are part of the Performance Studies course on the Bachelor of Music Programme (B.Mus) provided by the university.

It will be held at St Gregory’s Centre, North Holmes Road, Canterbury on Friday 19th February 2010 from 1 – 2.30 p.m. The event is FREE and open to the public. For more information e-mail sarah.hale@canterbury.ac.uk or ring Sarah on 07944 469578
