Transgender and gender non-binary clients are seeking services from speech and language pathologists and from teachers of singing with increasing frequency, both for the singing voice and the speaking voice. This three-day intensive course is open to all graduates of Level III of Somatic VoiceworkTM, regardless of areas of professional practice or knowledge levels of teaching and therapy techniques for the transgender singing and speaking voice.

This course will combine lectures, demonstrations and videos with opportunities for experiential learning. Guest lectures and demonstrations will be given by transgender, gender non-binary and cisgender individuals. Topics include appropriate language usage, best practice standards for teachers and therapists, and becoming an ally to the transgender and gender non-binary community. Dr. Kozan will also discuss special concerns as a cisgender person providing services to transgender and gender non-binary clients, challenges faced by trans and gender non-binary singers and speakers, experiences using Somatic VoiceworkTM principles with clients, use of voice therapy techniques, and techniques for helping change the client’s internal self-talk. Kozan will present excerpts from The Singing Voice chapter (authored by Kozan and Sandi Hammond in Adler, Hirsch and Pickering’s Voice and Communication Therapy for the Transgender/Gender Diverse Client: A Comprehensive Clinical Guide, Third Ed., 2019). Time for questions will be scheduled and welcomed during each session throughout the three-day course.
