All tuition is carried out by Leon Berrangé and Lucy Phillips, Voxbox directors.
 
The intake is limited to 4 students per year. The taught course duration is 24 weeks, with a further 24 weeks for practical teaching and submission of case study reports. Final meetings and assessments will take place at the end of this full period.

You should earn £2000 for your 200 hours’ Assessed Teaching. If circumstances allow, you may be able to undertake additional  teaching work at Voxbox, or privately elsewhere.
 
Entrance Requirements:
 
Candidates will be interviewed to assess their suitability to become singing teachers. A good musical background, high level of interpersonal skills and communication, reliability and ethical standards are all expected. A minimum of intermediate level stable larynx singing study is a prerequisite.
 
Before the course commences, or shortly thereafter, you will need to be able to play the required scales and exercise patterns on the piano.
 
Successful Completion:
 
Participants will be assessed on achieving a high degree of competence in the following areas:
  1. A familiar conversational knowledge of vocal physiology and the singing process.
  2. Analyse a straightforward singing voice, correctly diagnosing common issues.
  3. Use a logical and clear methodology in teaching
  4. Select useful exercises which move the student toward the mix.
  5. Work well with students, analyse learner type and major barriers and adapt accordingly.
  6. Show overall competence in managing both half-hour and one-hour lessons.
 
In addition you will be required to write up six case-studies of students you have taught more than 10 times, and make all your other lesson notes available for assessment.
 
You will also be required to present three songs in contrasting style in live vocal performance.
