Every human being is born with a remarkable instrument, the human voice, yet few of us know how to take advantage of its beauty. We all have the capacity to cultivate a singing voice that uplifts our soul, but some of us feel afraid or embarrassed, “not good enough.” Or we fear our true heart-song will attract attention. Let it!
In 27 years of teaching, Claude Stein has never met anyone who was “tone-deaf,” nor has he met a pro who didn’t have issues around his or her voice. Claude offers a process for entering the music that offers breakthroughs for everyone from beginners to experienced singers. We can all be taught to sing with clearer tone, greater accuracy, more rhythm and joy. With supportive coaching, we can overcome self-criticism and let our voice flow freely.
Natural Singing brings out the hidden beauty in our voices. It dignifies and integrates our light and dark sides. When we connect deeply with lyrics and music, our authenticity enables our remarkable voice to shine forth. When we are passionately ourselves, our music is profound, magical. When we sing, despite our imperfections, we hit the notes, we heal old wounds, and we free our true selves.
The supportive atmosphere of this workshop allows each of us to move at our own pace. We breathe deeply, relax our throats, increase our vocal range. Our ear learns to match pitch; the jaw relaxes; the voice projects. Songs we love become vehicles for transformation. They ring out, they rock out. The results are stunning, triumphant. The vulnerable whisper of a lullaby inspires confidence, the cry of the blues releases old pain, a driving rhythmic chant ignites passion. Find your voice. Sing your heart open. Enrollment is limited to 20, so please register early.
