Description

The human voice is a powerful, beautiful instrument & this chanting course is designed to give you the tools to share & cultivate this phenomenal gift in your classes & personal practice.

By exploring the history of chant we create a solid foundation for understanding why we chant. Our journey into anatomy will give you a clear understanding of how the body produces sound, show you exercises to support the singing structure & discuss perspectives on vocal technique. Basic Sanskrit pronunciation is reviewed, as well as a foray into the world of vibrations & cymatics of chanting.

Sometimes described as โ€œsound meditation,โ€ chants may articulate sutras, mantras, invocations, requests for protection, or reminders of ethical commitments and vows.

The aim of this program is to increase your confidence in sharing your voice through chant. Confidence comes through repetition. The program includes additional recordings which are there to use as a practice guide, chanting along, strengthening your voice & giving you space to explore your own sound.

Chant opens the heart & makes love flow.
