“Singing is healing... physical, mental, spiritual”

 “It’s a wonderful, liberating, joyous experience...it’s a place where I can really be myself and forget everything else.”

“Today I discovered the gift of voice in song; although timid in enjoyment, the enjoyment was enough to fill my spirit. I felt blessed with the song of Love – my voice being the way of Being.”

“Quite an exhilarating experience. A lot of fun.”

SINGERS ANONYMOUS LONDON  Rudolph Steiner House, 35 Park Rd, London NW1. 
Wednesdays  7 - 9.45pm

This group was running every week for 4 1/2 years between 2001 to 2005. It has now closed as I have moved to Scotland to the Findhorn Foundation community.   (www.findhorn.org). 

I may still run music & voice workshops in London in the future, so please send me your details to join the e-mailing list.
Happy singing.

Philip :-)

 

 

 

“The workshop is excellent for people who have forgotten what it is like to be children -  for people who REALLY want to LET GO again and need to re-learn what has always been within themselves. It’s a very liberating experience and a free one. Well done Philip for making this happen and help people to be happy again ... at least for a while.” 

 

Participants appreciate the friendliness, spontaneity, flexibility and easy-going nature of the group, with the emphasis on enjoyment and fun rather than on getting things exactly right. There is a lot of freedom to find your own place within the group sound, to discover your own harmonies & vocal twiddles, yet you are always encouraged to learn - about yourself, your energy, your struggles & pleasures, about music, rhythm, listening & connectedness, about eye contact and interaction in small groups; about creativity, spontaneity, confidence, courage and about getting out of your own way so things can flow. 

And sometimes I get strict in order to focus the group on getting something right that deserves to be sung well....

EXPLORE YOUR VOICE

A deep fun vocal workout to transform your energy and connect you with fellow vocalisers. A space to express your feelings through sound and gradually, song by song, note by note, empty out your head to reach a state of bliss...

 

Loud songs - Quiet songs - Spiritual songs - Popular songs - Guided creative vocalisations - Sound Meditations - Group Harmony singing - Toning - Silly voice games - Deep voice games - Musical circle games & processes - Listen, vocalise, harmonise, feel the beat, get the rhythm, lose the beat, lose the rhythm ... find it all again. Ahhh relax into the energy. Deep Fun.

 

Explore Your Voice is a safe, informal space to sing, vocalise & explore the pure joy of vocal expression. It’s open to anyone – you just need to be willing to participate ! If you’re an uncertain singer, you can hide in the group sound until your shyness melts and your confidence grows. If you’re more experienced, there are plenty of vocal challenges and brand new songs to learn and experience.  

Sessions flow with the energy of the group as we do physical warm-ups, breathing, voicework & singing exercises, creative vocal expression, sound meditations and improvisations. The song repertoire comes from any style, country or era - 50's to 90's, Africa to Europe, Jazz to 60’s hits, sacred chants and spirituals. The evening is a swirling, ever-changing sea of harmony, rhythm & melody designed to relax, heal, clear the mind and release stress. We may also do  musicianship and aural training to develop vocal creativity, flexibility and power.

Notice your struggles & strengths. Practise listening and concentrating and getting out of your own way so that your voice can flow. Feel free to discover your own individual voice within the group. Learn about the fundamental elements of music. Experience spontaneous but meaningful musical interactions,  unexpected rhythmic & harmonic synchronicities. Energise your body, mind and spirit with breath and movement. Express different parts of yourself through sound, including the parts you prefer to hide. Relax, lower your defences and dive into a warm pool of sound vibrations to discover a new world of music created by you and a group of kindred spirits ! Have fun and enjoy the natural healing process provided by group singing & vocalising.

 

Explore Your Voice is about more than singing & voicework; it’s about using your own voice as a tool for personal & spiritual growth, healing, creative self-expression & community - building. A vocal workout for mind, body & spirit, leading to silence .. and inner peace.
