The Harmonic Voice - Overtone Workshop

The Harmonic voice
Overtone Workshop (online) Saturday 24th April 2021

with David Moss and Masha Kastner


 

New explorations in cyberspace chanting...

In one day you will learn how to overtone chant.

Overtone chanting is an ancient vocal technique of holding a single note and simultaneously sounding the harmonics of that note.

The harmonics are heard above the drone note as a high pitched flute-like or bell-like sound.
As well as being intriguing and fun, overtone singing offers a unique way of using the voice in a relaxed way which can have many benefits:

improved well-being, increased concentration and attentiveness in a way which is both calming and invigorating.

 

David and Masha are experienced in teaching this weird and wonderful technique having run workshops for over 15 years and can honestly say that everyone attending their courses 'has got it'. During the day you are offered a step by step approach allowing you to explore your voice safely, gently and joyfully and introducing you to the 'knack' of producing overtones in two different styles without strain or needing to have previous singing experiences. 

 

During the workshop we will:

- Explore how to produce overtones in the Khoomei and Sygyt styles

- Look into some theory: what are overtones, how does sound influence matter

- Listen to overtone chanting in different cultures

- Explore use of overtones for well-being

Warm wishes and hope to see you soon, online or for real!
