HOME --> SUMMER WORKSHOPS

The McClosky Institute of Voice offers Summer Workshops in McClosky Technique, usually held in conjunction with a Certified McClosky Voice Technician (CMVT) course.

SCIENCE meets ART in these workshops, which teach voice techniques that both enhance healthy voices and benefit troubled voices.

Unique to these workshops are the 8 hours of small groups sessions (6:1 participant:faculty ratio) where experienced Certified McClosky Voice Technicians help participants to improve their own vocal technique with individualized attention.

Daily lectures and discussions offer special interest topics including:

Biomechanics of voice:
The system of breath, vocal fold function and resonance
Healthy Voice Production:
The McClosky approach through posture, breathing and relaxation of key muscle groups
Vocal Hygiene:
A common sense approach
Common Voice Disorders:
A review and discussion
Relationship of speech and singing:
Demonstration and practice

For more details, please click on our schedule.

Participants learn to approach basic problems in voice quality and to analyze the issues in the use of the voice. By becoming aware of the physical process, you will learn how to use these techniques in all speaking and singing situations.

Speech and Language Pathologists will learn how these techniques can be used in clinical applications for hyperfunctional disorders replacing faulty production with vocal efficiency.

Testimonials 

"The McClosky Seminar and CMVT Certification course opened my eyes to a solid and unique technical approach to singing and teaching. These invaluable tools were not available to me when I trained 35 years ago and, although not new, are still unknown to far too many in the profession."
– Paul Elliott, Professor of Music, Indiana University

"I feel freedom in my voice that I have never felt.
I am also excited about teaching this technique with my choral students"
– Pam Walling, Choral Director, Virginia

"The McClosky Institute of Voice has been a tremendous help to me personally and to my students as they benefit from what I have learned. As an active teacher and performer, I have gained a new 'lease' on my singing life with the immense freedom and flexibility of the McClosky technique. I highly recommend the McClosky program, technique, and philosophy of voice to anyone at any level who desires to truly realize the full potential of their voice."
– David G. Parker, Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina
