The Covid-19 process has deeply affected the act of many professions like fine arts
and education in our country similar to the globe. From this point of view, the
education of Art can be considered as the most influenced field by this situation. The
applied courses conducted by state conservatories have undergone a great
methodological change due to this interaction. By adapting to distance education, the
question of how and to what extent the course of voice training has changed
constitutes the basis of our research. Therefore, by using a semi-structured interview
form, online interviews have been conducted with vocal coaches from five different
provinces on a voluntary basis to collect the data. Since it is a descriptive research,
“case study” model has been used in the study. Content analysis and descriptive
analysis methods have been used to analyze and interpret the data. The obtained
findings have been analyzed by dividing them into time, method, measures taken,
motivation, repertoire, accompaniment and assessment and evaluation themes.
During the adaptation process, it has been determined that both the instructors and
the students learned how to use online systems like Zoom, Whatsapp, Skype,
YouTube to apply technology in the practice. On one hand, it has been determined
that they try to protect the continuation of the applied courses, and on the other
hand, they try to keep their motivation high against the negativities experienced. In
addition, it has been concluded that the vocal coaches became available 24/7, and the
curriculum, activity and assessment criteria were transformed due to the process.
