Host a FULL VOICE Workshop
Bring practical, engaging professional development for voice teachers to your organization, studio team, or conference.
Why Host a Workshop
FULL VOICE online workshops provide practical strategies teachers can implement immediately in their studios, helping them teach with greater confidence and clarity.
Young singers often make up the largest portion of many music studios, yet many voice teachers receive little formal training in children’s vocal pedagogy. These workshops help fill that gap by offering practical approaches for building strong vocal foundations, structuring engaging lessons, and working effectively with families.

Drawing on her 35 years of experience working with young singers, Nikki Loney delivers dynamic, practical training specifically designed for voice educators.

What to Expect
Each workshop offers engaging professional development with practical teaching strategies, ready-to-use activities, detailed handouts, and a Q&A with Nikki.
These sessions are ideal for voice teacher associations and vibrant multi-teacher studios looking to strengthen their teaching teams and improve student outcomes.
Workshop Topics
Two highly practical and appreciated topics for today’s voice teachers:
Play-Based Learning: Engagement and Lesson Pacing
Super serious lessons feel productive, but neuroscience tells us that all humans need to enjoy learning to truly succeed!
Participants learn how to introduce vocal concepts through games, movement, and imaginative activities that spark genuine engagement. Teachers thrive when their students are curious, focused, and actively involved—no more boring lessons, just energetic, joyful, and memorable singing experiences.
Practice, Progress, and Success in the Voice Studio
Practice (or a lack of it) is one of the most frustrating challenges in the music studio—and it’s often what leads families to quit lessons. In this workshop, teachers explore the neuroscience of learning and discover practical ways to support students before practice battles even begin.
Participants deepen their understanding of age-appropriate learning expectations, develop stronger instructional language, and learn how to structure lessons that improve information retention.
“I am a BAST student on the Singing Teaching In Practice course, and we have had the joy of listening to your lectures this week. I just wanted to reach out and say a genuine thank you. Whilst being a singing teaching student, I’m also a fully qualified child clinical psychologist of many years! Your lectures have literally had me beaming. More than that, I tried some of your ideas in my singing assembly with about 150 5-7 year olds this morning and I’ve never heard them sing so beautifully. Looking forward to exploring more of your resources!” ~ Lydia Stone (BAST)
“Fantastic extraordinary presentation. Thank you for all the concrete examples and videos! It’s so wonderful to learn from tangible examples.” ~ Emilie P. (NYSTA)
“It was full of quality information, practical suggestions for application, and anecdotes grounded in experience – and it was fun.” ~ R. Lohmann (ANATS)
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the time you spent with us, the wisdom you shared, and also for the philosophy on music education that you’ve cultivated. I absolutely agree with everything you shared and feel it my passion to create safe and supportive spaces for students that truly meets them where they are and understands so much more than what we are seeing on the surface. To have your heart shared with our spaces which will trickle to our students was such an incredible gift. Thank you so much!” ~ Jaime V. (One Music Schools.)
