Explore the beauty and nuance of singing musical modes.

One of my favorite things to do is to sit with a drone instrument and sing different melodies, playing with simple movements from note to note. It has become a beautiful touchstone practice in my life to center me in my body, my emotions, and my day.

This is a 5 week online course on singing and feeling melody from a somatic and contemplative lens. Each week we will explore a different musical scale, which is called a mode in western music. We will look at the building blocks of the scale, discovering what notes are foundational and what notes make each mode unique in its musical expression. This is a journey into soundscapes that offer a clear way of connecting with your own relationship to your voice and sound/song. You will discover how certain notes paired together evoke various emotions, states, and ponderings unique to you. And how singing even a single note contains a universe of potency to play with!

All levels of experience are welcome. The way this course is created is a step by step process into sound and singing. With the focus on contemplation, playful exploration, and body based self inquiry. All levels of experience will benefit and come away with new awareness and tools.
