Holistic Voice Lab: Tribute Concert for Bobby McFerrin

Holistic Voice Lab Classes & Singing Workshops

Wouldn't you like more music in your life? Holistic Voice Lab offers fun, transformative, community driven singing classes and jams. Beautiful things happen when we sing! You may experience increased joy, confidence and community connection. Stress is reduced, better breath and, perhaps surprisingly, a good physical workout. Also, singing is a natural antidepressant and improves posture. And, furthermore, singing leads to deeper appreciation of music and of other singers!

Learning how to sing can be a real confidence booster. Students call our programs fun, safe and, most importantly, supportive. Due to our unique combination of Classical teaching methodology and modern and fun Vocal Improv, musical elasticity is maximized for singers of all styles. This includes Rock, Blues, Soul, Jazz, Folk, Country, Choral and Singer-Songwriter, etc.

SINGING IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT! ALL VOICES WELCOME!  ALL VOICES NECESSARY!

We welcome singers of all levels from beginning to pro. Not only do we offer one on one lessons, we offer various programs and workshops. Some are Vocal Mastery Group Singing Classes, and ongoing Circle Singing and Vocal Improvisation sessions. Private coaching and guidance is available to singer-songwriters, groups and bands, to help with the finishing touches. Because we love working with passionate singers, we accept serious adolescent students age 15 and up.

Voice as Healing Art:  Sing to Transform!

Singing lessons Albuquerque Santa Fe PortlandMany of our students are adults exploring their voices for the first time. Some are coming back to singing after long dry spells. Since many adult students relay past experiences of vocal judgment, we provide a mindful approach to teaching. Due to the student's willingness to open and explore, we cooperatively work to heal old wounds through voice work.

Most importantly, you will be encouraged to explore your own authentic voice. This is due, in part, to the fact that each of us has our own unique soundprint. When we realize our uniqueness, and see our familiar struggles, like in the group singing class, it leads to a deepening of self-acceptance. Furthermore, we each have our own experiences and a personal form of expression. We help to bring this out through exploring. For this we use fun musical games to put the music in your body so it organically flows from you. But, really, the music is already in your body. It starts with your beating heart. We just help you tap it.

Lastly, we support the belief that no one needs to live an unlived life. Because we explore, we open to all possibilities. Because we open, we bloom. When we free ourselves from illusion and pass through the other side of disappointment, we open and open more. As a result, we free ourselves with the metamorphosis of a butterfly and . . .

WE SING!

Maybe the way to get past the fear of being ourselves is simply to try it more often.Bobby McFerrin
