There comes a point in teaching where experience alone stops feeling like enough.
You're already a good teacher. Your students are progressing, and you know you're making a difference.
But there's a question that niggles. Am I actually giving them everything they need?
That question isn't doubt. It is direction. And this intensive is built for exactly where you are.
This intensive is for you if...
You've been teaching for at least six months and you're ready for more than experience alone can give you
You want to feel genuinely grounded in your approach, not just competent, but structured
You're willing to challenge your current habits and hold yourself to a higher standard
You're ready to refine how you listen, assess, and respond to the voice in front of you
What This Is Really About
This isn't a box-ticking CPD event. It's not about overloading you with more information.
It's about clarity. Stripping back the noise. Understanding what's really happening in the voice and person in front of you — and knowing exactly how to respond.
Effectively.
Consistently.
With real understanding behind it.
It is about your impact as a teacher, not just about what you know. It's about who you are being in the room.
Over two days, there will be space to ask questions, go deep, reflect, and practise.
Not academic.
Not overcomplicated.
Clear, practical work — the kind that changes how you teach on Monday morning.
What We'll Cover
This is a genuinely comprehensive two days. Core areas covered:
Technique and voice function
Practical teaching tools and live application
Vocal health and performance preparation
Vocal style and qualities
Working with different students and contexts
Studio, structure, and business development
Plus more...

A final thought from Line:
I remember recognising that I needed support to become a more effective teacher. It wasn’t an easy admission. I already had a music degree and more than a decade of professional singing experience.
But that moment marked a turning point. As my knowledge and skills developed, I moved from guessing to making informed decisions. That shift brought a strong sense of confidence and clarity. I know no matter who walks in through my practice door I will be able to help them. Saying that I am not afraid to say I don't know...but I do know some who does. It's empowering.
I still approach my work as a learner, and I genuinely enjoy sharing what I’ve learned with other singing teachers.
What might shift in your teaching if you felt that same level of clarity in what you know?

What People Have Said About Our Past Events...
"I cannot recommend BAST and the classes they provide more highly. They are the perfect balance of information, tools, practicality, science and FUN! You realise when you're there that there is no where better for education on the voice and that the theory is correct...because it works"
"I thoroughly enjoyed the BAST Singing Teachers Retreat, the weekend's content was interesting, informative and all of the speakers were top-notch! I came away feeling like I had gained enormous insight into vocal health and was excited to go home and start putting things into practice. The workshops with the BAST tutors were excellent but too short. I would have liked to have more time with all of them as their knowledge and experience is invaluable to a new teacher like me. It was really great to be in the company of other teachers for a few days. Thanks you all for putting it together."
"I have loved attending the BAST Singing Teacher Training weekends. I have been on the retreat-style course and the studio based weekend, and both have had a notable impact on my work as a vocal coach. From networking, to practical business/studio building advice, troubleshooting common vocal issues, collaborative teaching clinics, to the understanding and application of voice science, and guest lectures from esteemed professionals in the field, I have found the events to provide an excellent and varied programme of valuable training. What’s more, the ethos of shared learning in a non-judgemental and nurturing environment, allows you to feel safe to share your thoughts and contribute ideas whatever stage you’re at or experience you have. I highly recommend training with BAST, and I look forward to attending future events!"
"Another brilliant event hosted by BAST! I found that I got something out of every session, for both myself and my students, and feel armed with more information to make better decisions and be an overall more successful teacher and singer. The knowledge gained helps to eliminate the guess work when faced with new issues or questions from students, and makes me feel more confident and assured that I’m making the best possible decisions for my students."
"A wonderful, varied, and insightful weekend with like-minded voice geeks! Not just sitting and listening, but actually doing....teaching with fellow teachers in a safe and supportive environment. What better way to learn!"
"The BAST Singing Teacher Training Retreat was a fantastic weekend of vocal science, performance, technique and health! It was an invaluable experience as a performer and a singing teacher. It has given me a greater understanding of vocal health and specific singing techniques such as belting and a wider understanding of vowel modification. The most wonderful part of the weekend is being a part of such a great community of BAST & non-BAST singing teachers, from all over the country teaching a variety of styles and ages. I will definately be attending our BAST meet-up next year, it's a great way of topping up knowledge in a variety of areas."
