Professional Workshop
Wired to Learn:
Motor Memory & Attention in Action
A brain-based workshop for voice educators
You know the voice.
Now get to know the brain behind it.
Whether you’re a classically trained voice teacher or a self-taught vocal coach, you’ve probably heard the term “motor learning” tossed around—but few educators actually understand what it means, or how to apply it.
“I truly can’t believe how simple (and yet how gosh dang EFFECTIVE) Meredith’s approach is in this course. A true streamline for what can seem like overly mechanical work.”

Evidence-based voice specialist and creator of Voice Function 101
This engaging, practical 1-hour workshop will transform how you teach singing by giving you a working knowledge of two powerful cognitive tools: motor memory and selective attention.
These two processes are key to determining what your singers retain, how quickly they progress, and how effectively they embody new techniques.
You'll walk away with:
-
A clear, working understanding of motor memory and how it applies to voice
-
Tools for helping singers build lasting habits with less effort and confusion
-
More confidence in your coaching and teaching
-
The ability to direct student attention for better, faster results
-
A fresh framework for what helps your students grow
-
Simple, powerful tools you can use immediately in your studio
Every time I have the pleasure of taking a class with Meredith, my teaching is immediately more effective. Like, literally, the very next lesson. ...the way she communicates how to work with the client's brain and nervous system never fails to change the way I teach, always for the better.

I’m Meredith Colby; vocal coach, author, and creator of NeuroVocal Method, a neurodidactic approach to coaching singers of popular styles.
With thousands of performance hours and over three decades of teaching under my belt, I’m an expert at singing for popular styles. My clients are professional and avocational singers, voice teachers and coaches, and singer-songwriters.
My book, Money Notes: How to Sing High, Loud, Healthy, and Forever, introduces NeuroVocal, a fast, effective way to create healthy singing habits for microphone-based styles that is based on brain science.
I speak the language of both the college-educated classical singer, and the sing-into-microphones singer. I teach classes, present workshops, and offer individual coaching to singers and teachers who are ready to sing high, loud, and healthy…forever.
Located in Chicago, Illinios, USA, I meet with singers virtually from all over the world.
