Embodied Singing Workshops with Mark Growden - Level One, Group Singing
Saturday, April 18 1-5pm, $60-75 sliding scale

If the eyes are the window to the soul, it is the voice from which the soul blooms.
Each of us has a unique voice inside us waiting to be released. Just as Michelangelo chiseled away the excess to reveal his masterpiece La Pieta which he believed to be imprisoned in the raw stone, we will sing songs, play games and do exercises together to remove the blocks that keep us from singing from our soul.
Singing as a group is an important part of our heritage as human beings. When we sing together we support each, which makes it easier to shake off our fears and inhibitions.
No prior musical or singing experience required.
