Chapel of St. Philip Neri | 236 Woodbine St. Louisville, KY 40208
Way of the Heart~Song: A 9 Week Course in Singing as Spiritual Practice and Authentic Expression is a singing course that is open to all voices regardless of previous singing experience and regardless of whether or not someone considers themselves a "good" singer. It is a course in vocal liberation, challenging the narratives we have been told about who is "worthy" to sing and who is not. It is my mission as a guide to help individuals reclaim singing as their birthright, as it is an incredibly powerful modality for healing, ritual, expression, creativity, community building, and connection to self and others.
This is a course that is my own creation, blending my years of experience as a professional devotional singer/musician, music educator, and yoga and meditation guide.
In this course we will:
~practice opening and freeing the voice through a variety of exercises, including (but not limited to) breathwork, relaxation techniques, meditation, vocal toning, vocal play, movement, and non-performative vocal expression
~explore basic vocal techniques to help strengthen range and allow for more confidence, ease, and resonance while singing
~learn and sing together a variety of heart-centered and devotional songs and chants, both in english and sanskrit
~strengthen ear training and explore harmonization
~allow for (optional) opportunities to solo share your voice through song, chant, poetry, or speech, for those interested
~practice intuitive vocal toning and vocal improvisation with the use of harmonium, crystal bowls, drums, and other instruments
~participate in optional time for small group and individualized support and guidance outside of regular course hours
~guided discussion, reflection, and time for integration
Exchange: $260, and also includes two optional opportunities to meet in a small group of 2-3 students in the hour before class begins in order to allow for more individualized support and guidance.
If payment is a barrier to participation, I am happy to work out a payment plan that works for you, please do not hesitate to reach out about this! I also have some limited space for trade exchanges in lieu of monetary exchange.
Space is limited to 14 participants.
