Short, Sweet, to the Point

Everything you need to know about the diaphragm, in one coffee break

Coffee Break Courses are packed with useful information, but can be studied in a short space of time, without the pressure of tests, assignments or exams. 

The course was written by Voice College Vice-Principal Christine Jones and is completely stand-alone, but there are opportunities to take your studies further if you want to. (We never pressure you into that though - the decision is yours alone)! 

Please note that this is not a qualification, but a chance to learn the basics  of the workings of the diaphragm - during a coffee break, on a train journey, in the park, or in the bath (don't drop your tablet though). You get the idea!
