In this episode of This Is A Voice, Jeremy Fisher and Dr Gillyanne Kayes welcome back psychologist Michelle Robinson for a deeper conversation about the singer-teacher relationship, motivation, wellbeing, and what voice training can learn from sport psychology.
Michelle introduces Self-Determination Theory, breaking down the three psychological needs that help people flourish: autonomy, competence and relatedness. Michelle, Gillyanne and Jeremy explore how these ideas apply to singers, teachers, performance and the learning environment.
The episode also highlights:
why external validation never really lasts
how teaching can support both artistry and wellbeing
the difference between performing “correctly” and performing authentically
what classical music training can learn from more person-centred approaches
Michelle’s own distressing experience of music college, and how difficult teaching relationships can leave a lasting mark
her research into singer-teacher relationships, including a new questionnaire designed to measure closeness, commitment and complementarity
* why musicians deserve the more holistic support that athletes often receive
This is an honest, thoughtful episode about voice, identity, teaching and the kind of support that helps artists thrive.
