Hi John,

No, the institute is not just the science and theory behind
singing. However, the first block is a review of basic anatomy and
phys and the standard scientific principles of voice production. The
most "applied" stuff will happen in block-three where an icon in the
field of pedagogy, Oren Brown, will conduct a few weeks worth of
lectures and masterclasses in voice production. SVI participants are
used for the demonstrations here.
The most important point to stress is- at the conclusion of the
nine credits you will receive a "certificate in vocology" from U.
Iowa- which is the top program in the nation for speech path and
audiology. Dr. Titze coined the term "vocology"- which he calls "the
science and practice of voice habilitation". The major drawback of
the courses is by far the pace. Doing nine graduate credits in the
span of two months is taxing on anyone!
The web site for the institute is: www.ncvs.org

Take Care All,
