Beneath the Sound Programme

The New Zealand Culture and Arts Foundation (NZCAF) was pleased to support Session 2 of the Beneath the Sound Programme, held at our community centre on 2 August.

This session focused on the larynx and how sound is produced, providing participants with valuable insights into vocal anatomy and the science behind voice production. Through engaging presentations and interactive learning, attendees gained a deeper understanding of healthy vocal function and technique.
