Welcome back to The Vocal Lab Podcast, where we dive deep into the art and science of singing, teaching, and living a life filled with music. In this episode, we're exploring the rich intersection of music, education, and personal growth with my esteemed colleague, Dr. Emily Koriath.
Emily brings a wealth of experience and insight as the editor and primary author of "Trauma And the Voice: A Guide for Singers, Teachers, and Other Practitioners." With a focus on trauma-informed pedagogy, Emily combines her expertise in Somatic Experiencing, yoga, and the Alexander Technique to guide artists toward singing with their full, radiant selves.
Today, we're peeling back the layers of Emily's journey in music and academia, particularly her path through the challenges of opera and the quest for authentic expression. We delve into the necessity of integrating personal musical tastes in both teaching and performance, aiming to nurture authenticity and individuality in the music industry. Emily and I challenge the status quo in music education, advocating for a learning environment that honors autonomy, self-expression, and the empowerment of all students, especially those from first-generation college backgrounds.
Join us as we discuss the transformative power of somatic practices, like yoga and the Alexander Technique, in enhancing musicians' wellness and performance. Emily shares her belief in the philosophy of "doing without doing extra" and the liberating concept of "enough," guiding us toward a more authentic and effortless expression in music and life.
Key Takeaways:
* Celebrate your unique voice and path in the music industry.
* Push against outdated norms in music education; pursue what truly resonates with you.
* Foster an environment of respect and support that champions social justice and equality.
* Embrace holistic learning methods to improve your wellbeing and performance.
* Discover the freedom in simplicity and sufficiency in your artistic expression.
