FULL VOICE Teacher Training Workshops & Courses

Now, more than ever, families are looking for professional vocal instruction for their children. If you are looking to welcome a new demographic of young voices into your studio, we are here to help!
I'd never planned to teach kids, but--surprise! Families with kids started coming to me for lessons, and I felt like I had no idea what I was doing… This workshop was SO HELPFUL in answering my questions and clarifying how teaching children should be approached differently than older teens and adults… I left the workshop today much more excited and confident about teaching kids, and I'm so grateful!

Teacher Training Testimonials

This training was absolutely everything I needed and more! With a whole host of new 6-year-old students, I was feeling the pressure of keeping things fun, but still productive throughout the entire year. Now, I have plenty of new ideas, strategies to keep both students and their parents engaged and a better understanding of what I can continue to work on as a teacher. Thank you so much, Nikki!! I couldn't recommend this enough! Aliah E.
If you work with primary-aged singers, you need to take this workshop with Nikki. With enthusiasm and clear language, she sets teachers up for success. Thanks to Full Voice, I feel energized and ready to face another fall teaching season. Rebecca E.
If you teach voice to children, you need to attend this workshop! I learned so many new strategies and enjoyed every minute of this workshop. Carolyn M.

What teachers are saying about this workshop:

“I just wanted to reach out and say a genuine thank you. Whilst being a singing teaching student, I’m also a fully qualified child clinical psychologist of many years! Your lectures have literally had me beaming. More than that, I tried some of your ideas in my singing assembly with about 150 5-7 year olds this morning, and I’ve never heard them sing so beautifully. Looking forward to exploring more of your resources!  ~ Lydia S. – UK

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! I would highly recommend this teacher training for anyone working with 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! ~ Christine K. – USA
