Current Workshops
Workshops help singers scientifically improve their voices through education of the anatomy and physiology of the vocal cords and connected structures, and spread awareness on vocal disorders and how to prevent them. We offer various workshops that cover topics about the science of singing and vocal health. VOCO currently has had one workshop on vocal health, and has two upcoming workshops on vocal care and pathologies and the SOVT. If you are an otolaryngologist, vocal coach, vocal specialist, etc., and are willing to help us teach a workshop, just fill out the form below and we will contact you.
