While attending the Classical Singer Magazine Convention this Spring in New York City I spoke with several of the representatives of music schools and conservatories around the country. I was curious about their commitment to online courses of study as I am developing an e-course for singers on the subject of breath support . One dean of a southern college mentioned the phrase, "extended online learning." Many colleges are using these online e-course formats in academics. The music colleges are starting to follow suit, it seems.
I began to think why it is that the individual voice teacher or vocal or music coach couldn't do the same with their studio. It would add to the students value, help the student to structure their study outside the studio and in the case of my course, even help the teacher to deepen their understanding of an aspect of teaching voice that is often badly misunderstood or muddy at best. I also thought that structuring the course in the proper way would increase the student's ability to absorb instruction in the lesson in studio, create loyalty to the teacher and an extra income source for that teacher as well.
