Polish Voice Teachers Association

The Polish Voice Teachers Association (Polskie Stowarzyszenie Pedagogów Śpiewu, PSPŚ) is a Polish professional association founded in 1988 in Wrocław. It brings together people who work creatively in the field of vocal pedagogy and represents them in artistic and scientific matters. According to its statute, the association has four main goals: supporting the development of vocal pedagogy and vocal performance in Poland; conducting scientific research in vocal pedagogy, including the physiology of the vocal apparatus and the methodology of teaching solo singing; disseminating the latest scientific and methodological achievements in Poland, including those from foreign centres; and supporting the development of young vocal staff. The association is active in Wrocław and Duszniki-Zdrój, where it organizes regular vocal courses and meetings. Its flagship recurring events include the Course in Interpretation of Oratorio and Cantata Music (Kurs Interpretacji Muzyki Oratoryjnej i Kantatowej), the September Vocal Course (Wrześniowy Kurs Wokalny), the Winter Course in Duszniki-Zdrój (Kurs ZIMA), and methodological courses for singing teachers. The 50th Course in Interpretation of Oratorio and Cantata Music was scheduled for late August and early September, with additional three-day classes at the end of June, and the 25th September Vocal Course was planned for the second week of September. The Winter Course in Duszniki-Zdrój was announced for 8–14 February 2026. Beyond courses, the association publishes vocal literature. Through the "Muzyczny ślad" programme, with funds from the Ministry of Culture and Art distributed via the National Institute of Music and Dance, it produced the 14th volume of the sheet music series "Polska Literatura Wokalna" (Polish Vocal Literature). The booklet is distributed at PSPŚ events, including the meetings in Duszniki-Zdrój. The association is governed by a General Assembly of Members, a Board, an Audit Committee and a Friendly Court. Its members are divided into full members, candidate members, supporting members and honorary members. For the 2021–2025 term, the Board included President Piotr Łykowski, Vice-President Monika Kolasa-Hladíková, Secretary Olga Ksenicz, Treasurer Jolanta Sołowiej, Board Member Maria Czechowska-Królicka, and International Coordinator Monika Kolasa-Hladíková. The association remains active, with events announced for 2026.
