SEND US AN EMAIL IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE AND TO BE INCLUDED IN THE WAITING LIST.WHEN: New dates TBAWHERE: @ The Voice Loft, EmeryvilleFEES: TBA Class is designed for small group_Register ASAP_bring your own instrument. If you don’t have a group, you are still welcome to attend. We will provide you with a group from the participants. It’s highly recommended to attend the three sessions to get higher results. DESCRIPTION We’ll gather in a small group in a sound studio of the Voice Loft with all we need to sound good; great microphones and state of the art sound equipment. We’ll learn the basic techniques of group dynamics and facilitation for the chant leaders to be aware of activating sympathetic resonance among their group participants, encourage deep listening, and foster self-confidence, communication skills, and vitality. We will integrate ancient and modern strategies to explore how to create a harmonious and safe space for creative expression, and a delicate balance between structure and improvisation. The materials will be informed from Naad and Bhakti Yoga (Devotional chanting), and Circle Songs and Vocal Improvisation groups. Each participant will bring their vocal culture, their particular needs, and their own repertoire of chants and songs. All participants will have space to lead the group as part of each session. If applicable and time allows, we will also listen to recordings of the practitioner leading previous chant sessions and give feedback. Applying her exceptional skills of deep listening, and more than 30 years of experience leading groups of all sizes, age, themes, and vocal cultures, Silvia will offer guidance on dynamics and session planning, including wisdom teachings, and an original repertoire of sounds as chants that will serve as entry points, warm-ups, and exit points. The intention is to identify practitioner’s self-concern, or impediment, enhancing confidence and conviction in their focus and presence. The class includes tips and practices for Voice Development: proper breathing methods, voice resonance, tone quality, range, volume, texture, and intonation will be explored and refined. It’s time to refine your craft and the work you love to offer! Through enhancing self-confidence and vitality as a chant leader, these sessions have the potential to increase the numbers of regular participants that attend to your chant circles, concert, and classes. Be sure to Pre-Register to reserve your place.
