VMM Breath Intensive

for Teachers

Certificate Program

We are passionate about training fellow Voice Teachers in innovative techniques that will then in turn help our Voice Teachers feel success in their work and give their Singers and Students a clear path to success. Our VMM BREATH INTESIVE Teacher's Certificate Program is for those Voice Teachers who want to level up as a Singer, Teacher and guide for their Students. Breath is often overlooked, and we focus on it as a core principle of our teaching here at VMM. Singing is exhaling afterall, therefore, the breath is essential to understand.

VMM BREATH INTENSIVE

Teacher's Certificate

A 22-Day Intensive focused exclusively on learning & teaching the VMM Breath. Voice Teachers will learn the innovative VMM diaphragmatic breath development, conditioning & coordination, and the tools that VMM Teachers use to guarantee success for you and your students. We are passionate about teaching breath to our Singers, Artists and especially our fellow Voice Teachers as we feel this is one of the secret sauce elements of our Vocal Mastery Method. It is a core foundational teaching and is essential to the success of any singer.

Breath is often overlooked when we're taught to sing, but it is cruicial as singing is literally exhaling. So if you're not taught how to take a next level inhale, how can you expect to have a next level exhale? Of course in singing, breathing is only part of the story, but for us at VMM, it is step one.

Throughout the VMM BREATH INTENSIVE Teacher's Certificate Program, you will be guided by the VMM Founder and Master Teacher, Erin Fisher. She will walk you through the VMM Breath herself and guide you on all of the connections she has made in her over 15 years of teaching, and over 20 years of professional singing (VMM Founder's Bio here). You will learn the VMM Breath yourself, and how to teach it to your students.

Taking this course, also is the first step in the VMM Teacher's Certification and being eligible to become a VMM Master Teacher. If you are interested in working with VMM as a Voice Teacher, please fill out this form here, and we will be in touch with you for next steps.

which have served her in creating her revolutionary Vocal Mastery Method, which is helping her students significantly speed up their progress and get to levels of mastery much faster.

What does it take to get Certified?

It is a minimum 4 session commitment, you must attend all 4 live sessions in the VMM Breath Intensive Teacher's Certificate, or you will not receive your certification. You also have to commit to practicing a minimum of 30 mins at least 4 times a week outside of the Intensive Sessions, but for best results plan to practice 6 days a week. If you practice, you will see results. Since we are working with muscles, and the natural coordination of those muscles, if you do the VMM Breath exercises, you will see results. In the same way that if you were to do push ups 4 times a week for 3 weeks, at the end of those 3 weeks, you would be stronger than the first day. The breath progress works like this too. It just takes a commitment of practice and doing the work.

If you don't practice, you will not achieve the progress. If there is no progress or a worse result at the end of the Intensive, you will not be awarded certification on the final Intensive Session. We want everyone to leave this program having made real progress, so that they develop a real understanding of the work in order to be able to teach it to others. Our goal is your success because the more successful you are, the stronger your ability to help your students, and for us, that's a win! We're aiming for a win-win-win!

How do we measure your progress? On the first session, an accessment of your breath will taken and again on the final session, your progress will be evident! If you made progress, it means you practiced and engaged with the material, and you will receive your certification and a digital badge to include on your website or/and social media to show that you are certified in teaching our VMM Breath. We will also mail you an official physical certificate.

If for some reason you didn't make progress, then your VMM Master Teacher will discuss the options for getting your certificate at a later date when you have more time to spend with the material.

VMM Breath Package for Teachers

We want you to have everything you need for success in this course, so we will send you a package of all the course materials to your mailing address before the course begins.

Requirements

We take Voice Teachers only. If you are a Singer wanting to start teaching voice, and this is your first step to doing that, that works too!

In order to receive your certification, you will be required to attend all 4 Breath Intensive Sessions, while Q&A Office Hours are optional. You will also be required to have your video camera on at all times during the Session. This is a colaborative learning environment, and crucially your VMM Master Teacher, must see you at all times to ensure you are receiving the highest level of training.

Fellow Voice Teachers, please have a song ready to use for this course. It doesn't have to be extrememly difficult, but it would be interesting to choose one with long lines as to explore the idea of sustaining breath over longer periods. You're welcome to have more than one song ready for the course to explore these ideas of course too!

For Session 1, you will be required to have a space that can accommodate a yoga mat on the floor and a yoga mat for you to lay on. You will also need this for Session 3.

For Session 3, you will be required to have a Student or willing participant to practice teaching the VMM Breath to. You will also be required to have a space that can accommodate a yoga mat on the floor and a yoga mat for your student/participant to lay on.

What we guarantee

We guarantee that if you apply everything we are offering in the VMM BREATH INTENSIVE that you will experience a noticeable improvement in your breath and stamina from before the INTENSIVE to afterwards, because our method works. It's not bias, it's science. However, this noticeable improvement depends on your practice between INTENSIVE Sessions. The amount of practice you are willing/able to put in during this INTENSIVE will be indicative of the amount of change you will notice.

We cannot and would not guarantee that this INTENSIVE will ensure that you are able to sing using only your diaphragmatic support. No program should ever guarantee this, since the practice of learning how to truly only rely on your diaphragmatic support to sing takes many years, as it is a trust exercise in letting go of all other support systems you were using first. It is impossible to predict when a singer is ready to have a breakthrough of this nature.

Our VMM BREATH INTENSIVE will explain how to sing using your diaphragmatic support, and get you practicing these skills through our VMM Breath exercises, but the main goal is to learn how to develop your breath muscles, coordination, and relationship through innovative techniques. We will cover this fully in the INTENSIVE ;) We hope to see you there!
