A six-week introductory course

Awaken
Your
Supple Voice

January 23 - March 9 (online)

Experience the laws of form and the fluidity of freedom in your body, in your breath, in your soul and in your smile.

This course is an invitation...

An invitation to let go of perfectionism and self-doubt, and instead, embrace the natural beauty and truth of your voice. Together, we will awaken the voice that is already living within you and allow it to become an expression of your true self.

  • “One of the best courses I've taken to open up the voice.”

    Marlon H.

You will learn:

  • The giving and receiving of air without grasping or clinging.

  • Foundational understand of how the tone resonates and moves through your whole body as an instrument.

  • How to relax into the healing power of the tone.

  • The art of the process of developing:
    - a supple body
    - a supple breath
    - a supple soul
    - a supple smile.

  • If YOU HAVE NEVER HAD A VOICE LESSON
    This course will celebrate your courage and honor your process with creative, gentle lessons to awaken your supple voice.

  • IF YOU HAVE BEEN SINGING ALL YOUR LIFE
    whether in the shower or on the stage, this course will bring your voice, body, and soul to a new supple vitality and beauty.

The cultivation of your supple voice is a quest that has no end.

The journey is filled with ever-more-frequent moments when your song becomes self and your self becomes song.

My approach is rooted in the teachings of Valborg Werbeck-Svärdström and her School of Uncovering the Voice. As Werbeck said, “Every human being has a singing voice. Our work is to unveil, take away the hindrances, and free the voice.”

This foundation, along with Rudolf Steiner’s insight around transmuting the breath into song forms the core of our work.

“We have in our breathing a faculty capable of the highest possible development through the transmutation of our breathing process into song.”

Rudolf Steiner

By unveiling your voice you are transmuting your self.

The two-fold deeds of unveiling the voice and transmuting the self through song are two sides of the same coin. These require sequential practices of preparation, centering, and expression, rising into moments of celebration of the self, which in turn opens the heart to a deeper connection with others.

In the “Awaken Your Supple Voice” course, these profound teachings guide you to unveil the natural beauty of your voice and foster a deeper connection with your spirit and the world around you.

  • During the lesson, a new selfhood arose in me. I felt someone other than my usual self was singing.

    Jing Y.

Shannon is a wonderful teacher, generous with her insight and able to bring the work in a gentle yet clear and approachable way. Highly recommended.”

    JULIE L.

  • “I felt at some point that my voice had become more stable. There is more buoyancy in my singing, a new lightness. There is enough air to reach higher tones without straining."
