What is Natural Singing?
What is Natural Singing?
In short, Natural Singing is basic vocal technique, ear-training, focusing and energizing with authentic intention. Failure is off the table and everyone is welcome no matter what level they are at. We uncover core messages, heal musical blocks, and receive enormous support from others. There are fun warmups for diaphragmatic breathing, range, and pitch accuracy, and with personalized coaching and expert piano accompaniment we build unstoppable confidence.
As we explore personal themes and embed them in evocative music, we align left brain and right brain – our thoughts and our hearts. We leave our fears behind and our innate ability thrives. The results are striking and build a remarkable sense of community with breakthroughs that go far beyond singing. The inability to speak up fully and “sing out” is deeply linked to some of our most challenging core issues. These blocks interfere and hamper our musicality – our rhythm, our tone, and our ability to hit the notes with accuracy.
We uncover the beauty in each and every voice and the results are rich and therapeutic. We cheer in triumph as genuine, authentic presence empowers our deepest inner messages and melodies.
Sometimes it’s the safety from a gentle lullaby. Sometimes it’s the passion of a driving rhythmic chant. Sometimes, the spiritual whisper of a sacred melody or the raw edge of rock and roll. The comfort of adding our own voice to a favorite song can be pure joy. With encouragement and piano accompaniment that supports us, we are invariably moved to celebrate our uniqueness and the surprising musical ability that we are all born with.
And the more we practice and become comfortable being our true selves, the richer the content and the better the sound. From a psychological point of view, we are using songs to integrate, elevate, and dignify our light and our dark sides, our joy and our blues without judgement. Concepts (lyrics) and Music (feelings). With acceptance and guidance from a seasoned director, shame fades and “tone-deafness” disappears. Vocal range opens up. Tone becomes sweeter. Rhythm, instinctive and grounding. We sing like we’ve always wanted to. And therein lies the magic: expressive arts are both healing and beautiful when we are authentically and passionately our true selves. As we practice our craft and sing despite our imperfections and fears, we improve faster than we ever thought possible and become the singers we all can be.
This is the transformative power of fearless, Natural Singing. It’s your voice—the instrument with which you were born that connects your psyche, your spirit, your thoughts, heart and your body. It’s your right, your treasure, and a direct access point to the beauty of your soul.
