Master Teacher Greg Enriquez and Profty bring together world leaders in neuroscience, education, and performance to explore the roles that the brain plays in the art of singing.
This revolutionary conference will include interactive sessions with the speakers in which the participants will walk away with strategies and tools to achieve their personal goals. Artists and vocal teachers will gain insights into how the functions of the brain affect vocal production and how sounds can be constructed to elicit human emotion. It goes beyond discussions of vocal exercises and feeling the music but blends scientific research to reveal how an artist can create vocal performances that evoke powerful feelings in the listener.
Additional sessions of The Singing Mind Conference will explore stress and anxiety, how it affects the brain and discover strategies to mitigate that stress and allows creative expression. Scientific research has shown that social emotional learning and positive mental health are keys to thriving in a rigorous performance industry and participants will learn techniques for self-care.
