The Vocal Universe Dive into the mysteries of YOU via the portal that is your voice. Functional vocal technique and body-based practice.

Learn how your voice paints your universe and offers a doorway to your creativity, your emotions and your whole body. If you have always wanted to explore your voice or already sing and perform, I will start right where you are and guide you in finding greater freedom in singing with healthy technique. Each of us has a unique voice that expresses who we are and if we allow it, and through discovering your voice you discover yourself. My teaching is based on Somatic Voicework™, The LoVetri Method. It is a body-based method of vocal training which is based upon voice science and medicine, classical technique, and various bodywork approaches. I work with the whole body in my lessons and often use movement exercises to help release tensions and bring greater awareness to how we sing. I enjoy teaching all levels of singers and believe there is always more to discover. Lessons are tailored to meet each individual’s needs and desires. I also love helping my students discover and connect with the meaning and emotion in the songs they are learning.

NEW DATES!

A Somatic Journey into Melody: Weaving Song from the Inside Out.

Join me for a 6 week class exploring and connecting with the felt sense of melodies through our voice and body.

Each week we will explore the building blocks of what a melody is made of as we inhabit different musical modes, which are the basis of melodies in western music. We will sing and ‘try on’ how different pairings of notes elicit qualities of being; emotionally, physically, and potentially spiritually. And we will take our time to really luxuriate and feel into in each musical relationship.

There will also be time spent in each class exploring vowels; how they resonate in our body, how different subtle mouth and tongue shapes shift the tone and comfort unique to you. We will be sounding, singing, journaling, and bringing gentle movement into our time together. And each week you will be given guided prompts and audio recordings to practice and sing with.

This will be a small group so that I can give you guidance and one on one attention. Classes will be recorded.

Message me with any questions and how to join.

6 Sundays February 9th to March 23rd (no class March 2nd)
10am-11:20am PST
Each class length: 90min
Price: $300 (includes one 30 min 1:1 with me during the series to focus on anything you’d like!)

One of my favorite things to do is to sit with a drone instrument and sing different melodies, playing with simple movements from note to note. It has become a beautiful touchstone practice in my life to center me in my body, my emotions, and my day.

This September I am offering a 5 week online course on singing melody from a somatic and contemplative lens. Each week we will explore a different musical scale, which is called a mode in western music. We will look at the building blocks of the scale, discovering what notes are foundational and what notes make each mode unique in its musical expression. This is a journey into soundscapes that offer a clear way of connecting with your own relationship to your voice and sound/song. You will discover how certain notes paired together evoke various emotions, states, and ponderings unique to you. And how singing even a single note contains a universe of potency to play with!

All levels of experience are welcome. The way this course is created is a step by step process into sound and singing. With the focus on contemplation and playful exploration, all levels of experience will benefit and come away with new awareness and tools.

If you are interested, have any questions and want to know more you can respond to me via email here.
