Forget raindrops and roses! THIS is my FAVOURITE thing.

Working LIVE with voice teachers like YOU to implement all of the learning so the knowledge ABOUT teaching becomes the ability TO teach. And here’s how we do it:

  • We have two 30-minute, live trainings per week
  • Half-way through the practicum, we do a live Q&A with child voice educator extraordinaire, Nikki Loney from Full Voice Music
  • We finish out the practicum with a live group discussion

And throughout the entire two weeks? (Like, 24-7, if you wanna’)

We share share share (using videos & messages):

 

  • questions and concerns about students
  • discoveries of new techniques and successes in the studio
  • videos of challenging technical issues
  • teaching questions
  • resources
  • AND EVERYTHING ELSE CHILD & ADOLESCENT VOICE-RELATED that you can possibly think of.

DETAILS:

  • all times are eastern (Toronto/New York) time
  • all times subject to change according to availability (& time zones) of participants
  • set aside up to 45 minutes for live trainings & 90 minutes for Q&A & group discussion

Ohhh … just a few kind words from Voice Ped Practicum past participants …

  • Dr. Coates's wealth of information, warmth, and vivacious energy made this practicum an absolutely wonderful and enriching experience.

    Tatum D'Souza, Singer, Voice Teacher, Founder at The Vocal Studio (Mumbai, India)

  • Engaging, Thorough, Truthful

    Erin Milley-Patey, Voice Teacher (Port Elgin, Canada)

  • Shannon's insightful and incredibly knowledgeable guidance on aspects of my teaching was invaluable!

    Gabriela Farias, Educator & Voice Teacher (Brampton, Canada)

  • You want to revolutionize your teaching and up your game in teaching voice to amazing new levels of professionalism and understanding? Then look no further than the fantabulous Shannon Coates!! She continues to amaze me at how she can take her vast wealth of knowledge, experience, and research, and compile it into practical, immediately relatable, easy to understand concepts in vocal pedagogy. She extends compassion and care to those she mentors or teaches. Her passion for vocal pedagogy is contagious. I love her enthusiasm and fun personality, she makes vocal pedagogy exciting and sooo much fun! . I just recently finished her child voice pedagogy course and loved the structure and flow of the course. Every single time I do a course with Shannon or learn anything from her, I love how I can immediately put to work what I have been taught. I quickly see exciting results in my growth as a teacher, and in the growth and capabilities of my singing students. I plan to continue to invest in vocal pedagogy courses from Shannon, she truly is amazing! You are missing out if you have not taken a course from her yet.
