The science of singing and seeing

Background in singing pedagogy. Singing teaching is commonly based on a master-apprentice model, relying on good modelling and feedback. Visual feedback technology (VFT) has been investigated as a tool in singing teaching by a number of researchers and its benefits for skills learning long advocated. However, its uptake in the singing teaching community has been slow, partly because of the cost, which has been very high until recently, but also because of real and perceived shortcomings of the technology and the lack of pedagogical guidelines incorporating VFT.
