Introducing our online trainers for Embodima Evolution and Advanced Teacher Training courses
Our Embodima online courses are led by our Director, Nicola whose deep expertise in anatomy, motor training and the neuroscience behind Embodima, sets the pathway to this new approach to embodied learning for singers. Our trainers provide all the practical learning on our courses Embodima Evolution and Embodima Advanced (4 Levels) that will enable you to transform your own singing and teaching practice. Our trainers are also Advanced Embodima teachers in their own teaching practices and have trained over several years with Nicola.
WIDER BENEFITS OF EMBODIMA TRAINING
A large database
Over time we have built a large database of Embodima-trained singing teachers and coaches. We work as both a collective and a support network, which makes us an Embodima family.
Recommended teachers we can suggest one of our teachers who is in or near your area. We can ensure continuity of teaching by passing students on to other Embodima teachers if they have moved areas. This ensures a consistent style of teaching and a gold standard.
Assessment service
Nicola supplies an Assessment service whereby teachers of singing can refer problems or vocal issues in their clients to her for a one-off assessment. Nicola will supply technical exercises or healthier physical/lifestyle regimes for supporting the student and the teacher, and/or refer them to the relevant medical or physical practitioners, if needed. Students are always referred back to their original teacher once the issue is addressed.
List of practitoners
We use some of the top practitioners in the country for our referrals. See here for more details: https://embodima.co.uk/the-body-collective/
