What does Singing based Vocal Therapy help with?

Singing involves controlled breathing, which can help people with respiratory conditions (e.g., asthma, COPD) or neurological disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s).
Helps strengthen the diaphragm and increase lung capacity.
Promotes coordinated inhalation and exhalation, often better than traditional speech therapy alone.

For individuals with voice disorders, singing exercises can improve vocal cord function, pitch control, and clarity.
It can rehabilitate the voice after injury or surgery (e.g., post-stroke, post-laryngectomy).
Encourages gentle, sustained phonation that reduces vocal strain.

Used in therapies like Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) for stroke survivors with aphasia (difficulty with speech production).
Singing activates both hemispheres of the brain, helping to retrain neural pathways involved in speech and language.
Particularly beneficial in Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and traumatic brain injuries.

Singing releases endorphins and oxytocin, promoting relaxation and emotional well-being.
Helps individuals with depression, anxiety, or trauma express feelings nonverbally.

Singing slows down the speech rate, allowing clearer articulation.
Can help those who stutter or have other speech dysfluencies find more fluent vocal patterns.
Repetitive melodic phrases improve motor planning for speech.

Especially helpful for children and individuals resistant to traditional therapies.
Singing is enjoyable and motivating, encouraging consistent practice.
Success in singing tasks can build confidence in speaking.

Illness is a common cancellation factor and clients suffering with a Heavy Cold, Sore Throat, Contagious Cough, Covid, Flu or any other contagious like viral symptoms must not attend. (If you have had these symptoms for over a week prior to your lesson and you feel well enough to participate in your therapy session, I will happily teach you as you are unlikely to still be contagious after the first 7days of symptoms)

If you cancel due to illness one week and are still unable to attend the following week then please let me know with at least 48 hours’ notice otherwise you will be charged at the full rate.

Especially around cold and flu season I will be providing Hand Sanitiser inside the entrance, which I politely ask you use before your lesson. If you prefer, you can wash your hands in the cloakroom.
