Voice Growth and Change in Kids and Teens

Dr. Jenevora Williams offers a concise and inspiring look at vocal development from infancy to early adulthood. Dr. Williams shares her extensive research and best practices for voice teachers working with young singers.

In this 90-minute workshop, voice teachers will gain the confidence to identify the nuances of voice change and provide age-appropriate technical study and support. Through detailed guidance and practical strategies, participants will learn to address the unique needs of young voices throughout all stages of growth, ensuring healthy and effective vocal development.

This workshop was AMAZING! I have more occasion to work with age range 11-13 recently and have a young man who is in jr high but his voice hasn’t changed yet. Mom says her kids hit puberty late and she wants a teacher as a guide through the changes since he is performing a lot. This workshop was a fabulous starting point for me to pair with the experience I have had over the years. I have been wanting more regular professional development as a solo owner of my home studio and this workshop was the sort of thing that I need and want. THANKS A MILLION! I will be back for more 🙂

Dr. Williams’ presentation was clear, relaxed, and concise. The information was presented in such a way that it confirmed what I already knew about voice change in teens in particular, and provided some great details about what comes before that change (infancy, etc.). Listening to singers at various stages of change was also fascinating and very helpful.

Could we have more workshops with Dr. Jenevora Williams? It is such a joy just to listen to her. It would be interesting to hear more about stages of voice, more about going to college, and finding the voice.

Thank you, Dr. Williams! This workshop was invaluable in providing practical and applicable information about infant, child, and adolescent voices. Thank you for synthesizing this information in a practical, digestible way and normalizing the emotional components of child/adolescent singers alongside the physical changes they’ll be experiencing. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who works with young singers!
