Anatomie du Chant — la méthode Adeline Toniutti

OBJECTIVES

Training in the Adeline Toniutti Singing Method

Adeline Toniutti, founder of the Adeline Toniutti singing method, created in collaboration with 26 voice and body specialists

Training objectives:

  • 1. Acquire the latest knowledge on the anatomy and physiology of singing, drawn from the combined perspectives of doctors and specialists, and learn to convey precise technical information to a student.
  • 2. Based on the 5 pivot points, learn to identify the different technical obstacles and optimization points of the vocal gesture in a singer, identify the most appropriate technical responses drawn from the 5 pivot points, and learn to convey them at the right moment to achieve the best results.
  • 3. Define an effective teaching framework, learn to adapt to the uniqueness of each singer, and master a clear pedagogical discourse based on the Adeline Toniutti method. Learn to support a singer's progress both within individual lessons and over time.
  • 4. Guide singers in establishing healthy vocal habits and building a network of professionals and resources to preserve the singer's vocal health.
  • 5. Access a network of industry and professional contacts.

Training Content

Deepen your anatomical and physiological knowledge of the respiratory and phonatory system with invaluable insights from the combined perspectives of doctors, specialists, and Adeline Toniutti on the mechanisms, muscles, and organs involved in breathing and sound production: the respiratory system, phonation muscles, diaphragm, abdominal muscles, laryngeal action, articulators, and resonators.

2.1. The singer's posture

How to help a singer find and maintain proper postural balance? Discover practical exercises to help your students optimize their vocal gesture, working in particular on the neck, shoulders, and pelvis.

2.2. The correct laryngeal movement

How does laryngeal movement influence the performance and vocal health of singers? Identifying the best movements for the larynx is key to ensuring healthy vocal practice for singers and helping them access a broader palette of tonal colours. Discover the best advice for performing the correct laryngeal movements and freeing the vocal gesture.

2.3. Optimizing exhalation

Your students run out of breath, struggle to reach high and low notes, or sing "in apnea"? Discover how to overcome these problems by optimizing the singer's active exhalation.

2.4. Making the sound resonate

The ventricle of Morgagni, the laryngeal vestibule, the pharynx, the soft palate, and the nasal and oral cavities are all resonators that modify the colour of the sung sound. But how can we act on them? Discover the key role of the jaw, the tongue, and the lips in helping the singer achieve the desired sound.

2.5. The pronunciation of vowels and consonants

Your students are looking for the balance between singing intelligibly, applying the desired colours, and conveying the necessary emotion? Discover the anatomical points that allow you to think and place vowels and consonants with the goal of sustainability (you do not damage your voice), performance (once you have produced a sound, any other sound can follow), and adaptability (you can produce any colour and any emotion at any time).

Discover with concrete examples and the fruits of specialist research the different laryngeal mechanisms (fry voice, chest voice, head voice, and whistle voice) and registers (belted voice, mixed voice, etc.) behind the many aesthetics demanded by contemporary music and classical singing.

What are the most common mistakes made by French-speaking singers when singing in English? Discover the best advice for teaching singing in English, and help your students respect the pronunciation and dynamics of words.

How to give the right information at the right moment to the artist? How to guide them in building their instrument and artistic identity? Adeline Toniutti shares her pedagogical method to help you achieve the best results and progress with artists. Pass on the art of singing and teach the five pivot points with effectiveness and safety.

Adeline Toniutti shares with you her advice and the advice of specialists for preserving your voice and maintaining a healthy, sustainable vocal practice. Also discover the various afflictions and pathologies of the voice and ways to prevent or cure them.

The 5 Pivot Points of the Adeline Toniutti Method

The 5 pivot points form an anatomical-physiological recipe and provide the bodily reference points necessary for singing. The challenge: to feel the mechanisms at work in your own body that are specific to vocal technique. These pivot points free the singer from constraints in order to meet the demands of multiple repertoires, from contemporary music to classical singing. The student is guided in building a true artistic palette of colours from which they can draw according to their identity and their path.
