One of the things that we love about Dr Jenevora Williams is her open, intelligent and enquiring mind. She has contributed to the BAST Training webinar library and past live training events.

In this interview, we find out more about what makes Jenevora tick. She talks about her journey which started as a Botany undergrad, to becoming an opera singer, then getting a PhD in voice science. Her research was around male chorister voices as they went through puberty. Naturally, this then led her to write a book, 'Teaching Singing to Children and Young Adults.', a popular staple in many a singing teacher's bookshelves.

Jenevora discusses her research findings, how she works with singers needing vocal rehabilitation, her latest topics of favour - the learning process, motor learning theory, and the work she does helping teachers on UK's only MA Voice Pedagogy degree.

There are a lot of handy teaching gems for you to pick up in this podcast, so don't miss this one!
