Lauren Humble, who graduated from The University of New Mexico in 2016 with a Bachelor of Music Education with a vocal emphasis, has successfully completed an intensive three-year program at the CJD Schule Schlaffhorst-Andersen in Bad Nenndorf, Germany. She now bears the title staatlich geprüfte Atem-, Sprech- und Stimmlehrerin (state-certified breath, speech, and voice teacher and therapist) utilizing the Schlaffhorst-Andersen method of breath, voice, and body work.
Humble studied voice under Professor Leslie Umphrey, now Professor Emerita, and was actively involved in the music department as a singer and choral assistant. Upon finishing her degree, Humble moved to Berlin to study the German language. She taught music in German in both public and private school systems to groups and individuals while continuing her vocal studies.
Due to her extensive experiences with singing and the voice, Humble has chosen to specialize in working with the singing voice. Starting in August, she will take on a new role at CJD Schule Schlaffhorst-Andersen as a singing teacher and will teach Schwingen classes: a movement exercise specific to the concept Schlaffhorst-Andersen.
Additionally, she will be living and working in Hannover as a freelancer. In this capacity, she will work pedagogically, artistically, and therapeutically with the voice while writing about voice-related topics. More information about Humble can be found on her blog.
