The VoicePed 101 Library

voiceped for real life

 

An ALL NEW way to maximize your pedagogy anytime, anywhere.

HERE’S THE THING:

Voice pros should have reliable, up-to-date, affordable continuing education that is accessible anytime, anywhere.

The VoicePed 101 Library has entered the chat.

The Vocal Instrument 101 LIVE creator, Dr. Shannon Coates, wearing teal-framed glasses, a grey shirt with wing arms, and black pants, strikes a jaunty pose with her arms crossed in front of her body. She smiles widely at the camera.

Now you don’t have to get your continuing education by:

staying up until BRUTAL O’CLOCK in the morning or spending your Sunday afternoon or rescheduling students during prime teaching time to attend a live class.

paying a premium – both in up front costs and in time off teaching – to attend conferences or do summer intensives or participate in online courses.

cobbling together your professional development by asking questions in the voice teacher groups on a certain social media platform that shall not be named.

amassing a library of unread pedagogy books, articles, and blog posts.

Here’s why you might wanna join:

Continuing Education so You Stay Ahead of the Curve:

Wondering about the latest voiceped trends (like: how to apply motor learning in the voice studio, or what neurodiversity-affirming voice pedagogy is), or classroom educational models (like: universal design for learning, or differentiated learning), or voice research (like: phonation or registration models)? No worries: I have (or will have) a class for that.

Foundational Education so You Catch Up to the Curve:

Feeling like you’re missing a few anatomy and physiology fundamentals (that undergrad voiceped class was a long time ago, #amiright?)? No worries: I’ve been teaching undergraduate voice pedagogy for over a decade now and I have alllll the classes for that.

Wide Range of Subjects so You Make Your Own Curve:

From Child Voice 101 to Diagnostics 101 to Neurodiversity-Affirming VoicePed 101 to Adolescent Voice 101 to Student-Led Learning 101 to Vocal Health & Hygiene 101 to Contemporary Voice 101 … well, you get it, right? I’ve got you covered. AND? I’m adding 10 to 15 hours of new classes every year.

Engaging Classes so You Stick with That Curve:

All classes include:

  • live lecture recording (obvs)
  • downloadable class outline + references & resources
  • pre-lecture ‘brain primer’ quiz
  • post-lecture knowledge consolidation quiz
  • certificate of completion (upon successful completion of post-lecture quiz)
  • MAH FACE TELLING YOU THINGS

Convenience & Flexibility so You Can Create That Curve* Any Time, Anywhere:

Got a few minutes between lessons? What about a longer-than-usual lunch break? Came across something you aren’t sure about when working with a young belter? Need a few ideas for how to support an autistic singer in your studio? Yep. It’s all there. And so are the references and resources so you can dive a little deeper. Or not. You decide and I’m not judging.

Access & Affordability so You Can Afford To Maintain The Curve**:

  • Choose to pay monthly and cancel when you’ve had your fill. Sign up again when a new class lecture drops. It’s that easy.
  • Think you might just want to stay for a year and skip the hassle of monthly payments? Save some money by buying a year-long subscription. It’s a different kind of easy. But still easy.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

DECIDE HOW LONG YOU WANNA HANG OUT IN THE LIBRARY

Are you a Binge n’ Bolt Learner who wants to get in, watch everything that’s interesting to you on 2x, and get back out? Pay monthly.


Are you more of a Steady-Study Learner who wants the freedom to explore over time? Sign up for a yearly subscription (and save yourself some $$ while you’re at it).

Sign In & Start Learnin’

Once you’re registered, dive into The VoicePed 101 Library—signing in is a breeze, and we’ll guide you through it!


Scroll through all the live lecture recordings and start with the one that excites you the most. (There are no wrong answers!)

Take Pre-Lecture Learning-Prep Quiz

Start your learning adventure with the pre-lecture learning-prep quiz for a fun and interactive way to get your brain buzzing and ready to dive into the lecture topic.

Download Lecture Workbook

Every live lecture comes with a downloadable Lecture Workbook packed with goodies! Inside, you’ll find a handy-dandy Lecture Outline, a treasure trove of References (all the cool stuff mentioned in the lecture), and a bunch of Resources for diving even deeper into your studies (you know, if you wanna).

Watch Live Lecture Recording

Hit play on that live lecture recording and set it up just the way you like!


Want closed captioning? Turn it on.
Prefer double speed or half speed? Go for it. Pause, rewind, or fast forward? Absolutely.


Plus, we’ve added nifty chapters that match the Lecture Outline, so you can hop around and dive into the sections that catch your interest first.


Enjoy the flexibility and make your learning experience uniquely yours!

Do Post-Lecture Learning Consolidation Quiz

Wrap up your learning journey with a snazzy quiz—it’s like a brain teaser, but with that "cool! I’m glad I know that now" vibe instead of the "wow! I wish I was smarter" feeling. And guess what? You’re totally going to ace it. #pinkyswear.


Once you conquer the quiz, you’ll snag your very own Certificate of Completion. AKA: your badge of honour for rocking all that learning like a pro!
