Content
The rehabilitation programme builds a catalogue of exercises designed to develop a new, well-functioning singing voice. You will receive a precise introduction to posture-related vocal problems, thorough guidance in training breath support, and detailed instruction in strengthening the vocal fold musculature itself.
At the same time, you will learn how to treat compensatory tension patterns, including through laryngeal massage and stretching of voice-related muscles in the neck, jaw, and root of the tongue. In other words: you build up and break down.
Target Group
Voice teachers who wish to make rehabilitation part of their specialization.
Singers who themselves have a need for rehabilitation and who, in the long term, wish to pass these experiences on to other singers.
Structure and Scope
The programme runs over one year and is offered as an individual course of study with individual start dates from August 2025. Lessons are arranged individually from session to session. The programme consists of a total of 40 lessons, conducted either as solo rehabilitation sessions and/or as supervised work with practice clients.
The programme is designed primarily as a practical education in which locked compensatory patterns around the larynx, jaw, neck, and root of the tongue are released, among other things through laryngeal massage, while healthy vocal function is simultaneously built up through functional vocal technique.
If you yourself need rehabilitation, this will be your starting point. Once you are considered familiar with the relevant exercises, practice clients will be included under supervision.
You are responsible for finding your own practice clients.
Teaching Days
Primarily Mondays and Tuesdays.
Price
DKK 54,000, payable in monthly instalments of DKK 4,500.

About the Programme
The rehabilitation programme at the Anne Rosing Instituttet teaches you how to treat singing voices with permanent functional vocal problems. In the vast majority of cases, the vocal folds appear normal. These are therefore not “sick” voices with oedema, polyps, or vocal nodules. The voice simply no longer functions properly: you are unable to do what you were previously capable of, and it can be difficult to understand why. Many singers give up.
I see this frequently in singers — trained as well as self-taught — who have performed professionally for many years. Top or bottom notes disappear, or audible breaks and register shifts develop between the lower and upper range of the voice. It may also appear as ongoing vocal wear, chronic hoarseness, or breathiness in the voice, which is often compensated for for musical reasons.
For the voice teacher, it is essential to be able to assess the working conditions of the singing voice. When dealing with persistent functional vocal problems, careful detective work is therefore crucial: What is the cause, and what is the effect? Is it the result of an unsuitable vocal technique? Incorrect breath support? Or should the cause be sought elsewhere, for example in an imbalance within the body? Is it related to register transitions or stress? Although the problems are experienced at the level of the larynx, my experience is that they are often rooted somewhere entirely different — namely in locked compensatory tension patterns that cannot simply be sung away.
For the singer, it is crucial to understand the underlying cause of the problem so that the process of regaining a healthy and well-functioning singing voice can be approached with targeted and relevant exercises. This creates calm and trust in the process.
Rehabilitation therefore means giving the singing voice the best possible working conditions by clearing away old and unsuitable vocal habits, while building a new and well-functioning instrument through the development of healthy new habits. It is never too late!
