THIS SATURDAY. Workshop at the Old Town School for singers. Sign up at embodyquietude.com/group

For singers, our body is our instrument.
​
This workshop offers an opportunity to explore connections between body, breath, and voice while giving a comprehensive roadmap for vocal freedom and support. Using the Alexander Technique (a century old breathing and relaxation method), we will apply concrete tools to illuminate the anatomy of breath, let go of tension, and make music-making more intuitive and fun. We will also offer the opportunity for individual coaching in a supportive environment (please prepare a verse or chorus of a song of your choice to be sung a capella).

Do you feel stiff while you sing? This workshop can help. Do you want a feeling of ease and connection while using your voice? This workshop can help. Do you want more access to your breath and less physical tension? This workshop can help. Join us and reconnect to the fundamental ease of singing.
