Module One - Unit 1
Vocal Anatomy for Voice Professionals
Jacob Lieberman, Tom Harris, Sara Harris |
|
Overview
This new and unique course is devoted to the study of
vocal anatomy and function with authors from the Voice
Clinic Handbook.
Tom and Sara
Harris with Jacob Lieberman have pioneered a
multi-disciplinary approach to voice that includes clinical,
therapeutic and physical approaches to addressing vocal
problems. Their Voice Clinic Handbook is a world-recognised
reference text for voice clinicians and voice professionals.
The course is in two sections: Muscles Alive! with Jacob
Lieberman, and Vocal Anatomy with Tom and Sara Harris.
Day One -

with osteopath and psychotherapist Jacob Lieberman offers a
great balance of theory and practice for vocal performers

|
| |
2 |
'PNS and CNS':
how we experience messages from the nervous system |
|
|
|
| |
3 |
The planes of

|
|
| |
4 |
Posture,
breathing and support: separating fact from fiction |
Days Two and
Three - Vocal Anatomy
This course
will familiarise you with the essential elements of vocal
anatomy, physiology and vocal function that every voice
trainer should know. Course topics will cover the following:
|
|
|
| |
1 |
Phonation -
structure of the larynx; functional anatomy of the larynx and
pharynx |
|
|
|
| |
2 |
Respiration -
the Bernoulli effect. myoelastic-aerodynamic theory of voice;
the 'Accent Method' approach; muscles involved in passive and
active respiration |
|
|
|
| |
3 |
Resonation - the
pharynx and soft palate |
|
|
|
| |
4 |
Articulation -
the tongue, the jaw and the muscles of facial expression |
The coursework
includes videos of the larynx, model making and practical work on
breath and articulation.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the unit you will have acquired
|
|
|
| |
1 |
An
understanding of the voice in the wider context of human
anatomy |
|
|
|
| |
2 |
A deeper
knowledge of the structure of the vocal instrument |
|
|
|
| |
3 |
Tools for
further self-guided study e.g. source readings in articles and
voice science texts |
Unit Assignments
Four short essays of up to 700 words on the following
topics:
|
|
|
| |
1 |
Posture and
breathing |
|
|
|
| |
2 |
Phonation |
|
|
|
| |
3 |
Resonance |
|
|
|
| |
4 |
Articulation |
Unit Assessment
|
|
|
| |
1 |
You will be
assessed on accuracy of understanding of the main landmarks of
the larynx and pharynx, the function of breathing and the
relationship between primary and vocal functioning of the
mechanism. |
|
|
|
| |
2 |
You will be
required to demonstrate an understanding of how the vocal
mechanism works. The memorising of names of muscles, their
origins and insertions, will be less important than the
ability to infer how a muscle might behave from reasoning and
research. |
