Research-Driven Professional Development for the Singing Voice and Beyond
Courses, workshops, tools, and mentoring resources for curious minds.
Who are we?

“It’s hard to describe the depth of the impact Ian Howell has had on my career trajectory and my life. Dr. Howell is a supremely brilliant, kind, and devoted mentor whose belief and investment in me as a young pedagogue and performer opened my mind and my ears in incredible ways. If you’re lucky enough to have him in your life, he will challenge you, inspire you, and guide you beyond the boundaries of what you think is possible. He is a treasure, and I would not be who I am without him.
Dr. Emily Siar, Assistant Professor of Voice Boston Conservatory at Berklee, 2024 NATSAA Winner
