This workshop was incredible! Whether you’re just starting out as music teacher or have some experience already, this is a worthwhile professional development opportunity! This workshop was incredibly insightful, well-organized, professionally done while being warm and friendly, in addition to providing incredible resources for your music studio or for yourself as a classroom singer who is teaching voice. This workshop should be a part of every vocal instructors’ professional development training! I highly recommend Nikki and The Full Voice offerings and resources!

Nikki’s workshop was immensely helpful. Every tip was valuable and I am now even more excited about teaching! Her positive attitude is very encouraging as well.

 

Katya S.

I loved all of this. I taught many years ago and had been taught that “we don’t teach kids voice” and it’s been really nice to find that this way of thinking has changed and that there are so many great resources now.

If you haven’t done Nikki’s workshop, book yours now. I am not kidding. I loved it so much, I would do it again. All the nuggets of wisdom of 30+ years of her teaching young singers are worth a million bucks. I can’t thank you enough.

This was HANDS AND FEET DOWN the best and most helpful training I have taken in the past 5 years. It gave me so many GOLDEN…no….PLATINUM training tips and tools that I began to use less than 5 minutes after getting off the Zoom call! My entire world changed when I realized I don’t actually SEE THE SINGERS in front of me. I had to go into a deep process of self-reflection about that and I am still processing a week later! I would highly recommend this teacher training for anyone working with small children who gets frustrated easily or needs help with lesson/classroom management, or is wondering how to increase engagement and incorporate more play and a sense of wonder into lessons for kids – even kids of ALL ages! Thank you, Nikki, for being so open and generous with your time and resources!
