    I need a special course about Schubert because I can't really understand the cultural environment behind lieder, and I struggle with the context of this composer also in piano music, because I can't figure out how he is both a Classical and a Romantic composer, being contemporary both of Beethoven (whose character is very well defined and unique also not being a Romantic) and Chopin (who is a pure Romantic). I cannot find the unique voice and character of Schubert as much as I do with other composers such as Mozart or Beethoven.

      This is a fantastic topic. Schubert is such a giant in Lieder. This is on the top of my list  :)

      Excellent topic! Pitch accuracy is such an interesting and under-covered subject in Vocal Arts. Because singers don't have a tangible external instrument that can be corrected visually, so much of our work with pitch is audiation (imagining the pitch - or thinking and doing). I will absolutely make a note to cover this at some point. It's a fascinating subject and one that, on a practical level, I help singers with all the time :)

    I would appreciate a course/workshop on "how to deal with the different acoustics we are exposed to all the time". I find it difficult sometimes - especially in audition settings with little or no time to get accustomed to the room - to stick to "my" singing without pushing. I am sure there are strategies to develop a good approach to new rooms. 

     

    What I have been looking for for a long time - for my own understanding as well as my teaching - is an animation of the larynx during phonation, especially depicting the muscles during the register changes, showing the tilting and so on. A visual explanation would help me to get an even clearer picture of what is going on. 

     

    I personally would love to have a repertoire course on "Das Lied von der Erde" by Mahler. 

     

    Thank you very much for all the great content in here!

      These are all fantastic ideas. In the coming months, we will be releasing an extensive course on science informed voice pedagogy with Lynn Helding. That should go a long way toward bridging some of those gaps in understanding laryngeal registration and vocal process. We are truly just getting started with this topic. I will absolutely take your suggestion about an animation!! This is a topic that almost all singers struggle with at some point or another. I'll also make a note of the acoustic topic (again, that is such a universal challenge!).  And Mahler sounds like a great idea too  :)  Thank you so much for these fantastic suggestions!
