An introductory presentation for voice professionals looking to explore neurodiversity-affirming teaching methods in their studios and classrooms.

This session will equip voice teachers with the language and strategies needed to create an inclusive and supportive environment for singers from varied backgrounds. Shannon discusses practical techniques, innovative communication methods, and flexible curriculum ideas to help students engage more deeply with their learning.

I highly recommend Shannon’s workshop on Neurodiversity in the Voice Studio. Although I hold a Masters degree in Special Ed and was an inclusion classroom teacher before I became a vocal coach, I still had some confusion over how to implement what I know to meet the needs of all kinds of learners in the voice studio. Shannon’s explanations gave me further clarity and expanded ideas on what I could offer clients in ways I had not thought of, such as various ways I can present information, policies, vocal coaching, and the environment I create to meet the needs of all learners. ~ Dana L.

A very easy to understand introduction to reframing the behaviours seen in the voice studio / voice class. Included information on where to go from here, easy things to do to alter your delivery of information.

Thank you so much for this workshop, and the flexibility to watch the replay! I feel like I have a strong direction on how my classes can offer options to be more inclusive and accessible to my students.

This is the fourth workshop I have taken with Dr. C and I always walk away with copious notes, a brain full of ideas, and a sense of excitement and revitalization. She reminds me why I love being a music educator.
