The Natural Singer
Come celebrate the magnificent healing power of your own voice. Whether you already sing, or have always wished you could, this workshop provides a remarkable environment and opportunity to improve your voice and sing your heart open. There are exercises to relax the throat, increase range, sing in key, and project with confidence and authenticity. You’ll also sing favorite songs and use them as wellsprings for personal transformation and musical breakthroughs. No matter where you begin, the results will simply amaze you as you triumph over the physical, emotional, and psychological issues that can limit you.
It doesn’t matter if your goal is to be more comfortable singing in public or just to hit the notes when you sing in the car. After this workshop, you will find yourself singing like you’ve always wanted to and sharing your heart more easily. Therapists, coaches, and workshop leaders will also find the techniques valuable for use with their clients.
The Master Class
The “Master Class” is open to singers and aspiring singers of all levels. It provides an extended amount of individual attention/coaching, as it is limited to only 8 participants during the full day program. Because of the smaller class size and the deeper level of commitment by participants, it allows each participant to reach a greater level of vocal accuracy, confidence and self-expression, as well as a closer connection with a base support group. We begin at 10 AM and end at 6PM. Just bring a piece of a song to sing – lyrics memorized.
You may bag lunch – although we do not have access to a kitchen, or join us in the local Italian restaurant down the road. The cost for the day is 175.00, and is on a first come first served basis, with payment billed through Paypal. Due to the limited size, tuition is non-refundable and non-transferrable.
The Master Classes are held at 74 Bristol Hill Road, Glenford, NY 12433 212 460 5878. Class starts at 10 AM and finishes at 6 PM.

The Art of Being You
There is a time for silence and a time for giving full voice to who you really are. Come and let your inhibitions fall away and express your truths in an extraordinary and unforgettable way. In this program, you have the option to speak or sing and no previous experience or skill is needed.
This program offers expert guidance for self-expression and strong adherence to authenticity. During this heartfelt and fun weekend weekend, we engage in exercises that empower and inspire us to overcome shyness, bypass our inner critic, and bring our spoken and/or singing gifts into the world.
As we align our heart and mind, along with our inner and outer voice, wonderful magic ensues. And when we let go of judgments and get out of our own way, we express the truths that spring from deep within, discover language we have been cultivating for a lifetime, and give voice to the songs we were born to sing.
Inner Anthems and the Courage to Sing Them
Each of us has a rich and powerful soul song, whether we consider ourselves singers or not. When we sing this soul song, it brings about a transformational shift within us and has an impact on the world. In this program, you will uncover and give voice to the inner anthems that accompany the dreams you hold sacred.
You will be guided to tap into authentic core personal messages, have them set to original music, and sing them out fearlessly! You’ll learn to hit the notes better, build confidence and communicate the messages that lay deep in your heart. It is a joyous musical celebration and a highly supportive group experience for all.
Come and join us for a fantastic weekend of original soul songs, spirituals, folk songs, country songs, swing tunes, rhythm and blues, and chants. Absolutely no previous skill or experience is necessary.
