"What if we replaced the word work with the word fun in every sentence?

Gotta go to fun early today...Phew, that was a lot of fun...I have a lot of home-fun tonight...'

~Leon Thurman

We lost our dear friend and colleague, Leon Thurman, this past year. We will have a special VoiceCare BookClub Memorial for Leon:

Sunday, November 3rd at 2:30PM Eastern

"Human Compatible Learning"

A VoiceCare BookClub Celebration & Memorial Reading

in joyful remembrance of Leon Thurman.

Please sign up on Eventbrite for our special celebration in honor of Leon.

As a community, we will read the chapter entitled "Human Compatible Learning" from bodymind & voice In Leon's honor. The chapter will be available shortly. The full book, bodymind & voice, can be purchased at Amazon in kindle version only.

We will also provide a central place for all who would like to share remembrances. More information coming soon.

In addition, we are pleased to announce the creation of a new scholarship:

The Leon Thurman "Keep Up the Good Work!" Scholarship

This scholarship, to be awarded annually, will provide an independent voice teacher in need with the opportunity to attend a conference such as the NATS Science-Informed Pedagogy Institute at the University of Utah or the Embodied Music Lab Acoustics Pedagogy Conference at the University of Michigan. Your donation will not only change the life of a deserving teacher, you will change the lives of every student they teach. . . Please consider donating.

"There is content, and there is process. . . Let the process be joyful!"

Teachers Needed for Research Study

We need your help!

If you are a school teacher (or know a school teacher), please check out this opportunity to join our teacher research pool. What does this mean? It means you provide some basic information, then we will send you an invitation to participate in our research studies – most of these will be surveys.

Thank you for your consideration. Without the voice of teachers, our research can’t make a difference.
