Wed, March 03, 2010. 7 pm - 9 pm Our Higher Voice A Workshop with Baird Hersey

The perfection of harmonic vibration relaxes the body, focuses the mind, opens the heart. This workshop will teach you the fundamental techniques of Harmonic Overtone Singing. When mouth and throat are shaped into a resonating chamber, it’s possible to sing a regular pitch and add a mellifluous harmonic tone above it. This is how Tibetan Buddhist monks and Mongolian throat singers sing two or more pitches at once. Come join in the joyful sound of many voices singing as one and there together we will find "Our Higher Voice". Cost: $15 if registered and prepaid by Mar. 1st; $20 if registering after the 1st.
