Congrats to Rowan Shultz as Charlie Danforth!

Get • .springer.studio Today is our read through of our next production, High School Musical Jr. Congratulations to everyone who auditioned! We are so excited to get started on this iconic show!

Five years ago I posted the following photo and text on Facebook. Since then I have run and published a study on mindfulness in people with voice disorders and have presented on the subject for audiences across the country and around the world. I have taught mindfulness classes to over 100 people with voice disorders. I think I’ve accomplished a lot in half a decade — and there’s more to come!

REPOST: This beautiful pile of books represents so much of what I love about my work as a voice instructor and my training as a mindfulness teacher.

I’m delving into these as preparation for a project with the working title: “Mindfulness and Voice: A Review of Literature Regarding Mindfulness in Vocal Training, including Singing Voice Training, Speaking/Acting Voice Training, and Voice Therapy for Patients with Voice Disorders.”

There is very little literature on the subject, and I think someone needs to study whether a structured mindfulness program can help alleviate stress or anxiety (generalized or performance) in singers and people with voice disorders.

My lovely voice student Emma Allee .allee will be performing her senior recital in April. This is my first time overseeing an academic recital, so it will be a wonderful first for both of us. It’s an incredible program of vocal music.

ONLINE COURSE: Mindfulness for People with Voice Disorders, Sun, 1-3pm, EDT, April 12-June 7, 2026, www.mindfulvoicecollaborative.com/classes

My online course, Mindfulness for People with Voice Disorders, starts up on Sunday, April 12, 2026. I am currently running the course once per year. See link in bio for details.

It’s always a pleasure to find my work cited by other researchers. I enjoyed reading Geneva Mayne’s article, “Associations Between Social Determinants of Health, Mental Effort, and Frustration for Voice Therapy.” See slide 2 for mention of my study (reference 59).

My article on mindfulness in people with voice disorders was accepted to Journal of Voice in October 2023. It has been available online since November 2023. Now, 860 days later, it has finally been published in the print edition!

I’m so proud of studio alumna Bailey Denmark Get • I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the cast of ‘sicklerville’!! beyond grateful for and for all the love they are pouring into this project. keep an eye out for !!
