There are several hurdles to overcome during adolescent voice change that affect self-concept and self-efficacy and go beyond feedback on singing performance or ear training. In the presentation, two examples of singing lessons will be outlined, following the concept of ‘possible selves’ (Markus & Nurius, 1986) that Freer (2015) proposes for working with boys during voice change. The two modules are part of a learning environment based on the narrative of a city that students inhabit, explore, and take ownership of through their learning activities with an avatar, with the city itself evolving as more modules are developed.
