During this workshop, participants learn songs from various vocal and communal traditions and how to sing from and with their whole selves. Through a series of vocal, verbal and physical warm-up techniques, participants will learn how to fire up their inner and outer voices.  This workshop is ideal for all skill levels and will help revitalize and inspire you to sing from the inside out.
