HOW YOUR VOICE TRANSFORMS THE WORLD
You want to create art that changes the world for the better and even heals you in the process. You want to make art that lifts people up, that causes them to think differently, to recognize their privilege, to remember their power and that gives them the courage to be vulnerable. You want your art to create conversation and make space for contemplation as well as connection. And in order to achieve a holistic outcome, you need a holistic process.
Over my years of teaching singing and movement I have gone from a more traditional model of teaching to an integrative approach. While the methods that I teach are in and of themselves holistic, meaning that they will help you with “the thing” (whatever the thing is) be it recording your first album, healing a vocal injury or getting over say tendonitis so you can play your instrument pain-free, you will also gain a new perspective on life and how you want to live it. Assuming that you are open to change, practice and take responsibility for your learning, the modalities that I teach will help you meet your goal and can also improve your life overall.
I chose to change my offerings in response to all the self-discovery that occurred during voice and Alexander Technique lessons. Students would arrive with emotional reflection, life changes, new desires to be seen and heard and these seemed to be calling for a more integrative approach. As it turned out the integrative approach was right in my wheel house. It felt easy, natural and intuitive.
Once I decided to officially offer combined voice and movement programs I started hearing even more from people that it was indeed what they were looking for. Whether advanced or beginner, hobby singer or professional, students wanted to transform along with their voices, as a result of their voices and they wanted their music, art and lives to be able to handle the bigger selves they were creating.
There is a lot of deep work to do right now. And art has always been in close connection with powerful world changes. If you want to make a better world, a healthier community, a happier home, then why not start with you, your voice and your body. The world will thank you.
