Voice | Barbara Byers | All Levels | Evening Mini-Class | Week 2 (July 13-18, 2025)
Inspired by the methods of Pauline Oliveros (Deep Listening), Meredith Monk (Vocal Rooms), and Jeanine Durning (‘inging’, and ‘to being’), Improvisational Choir explores the art of co-creating spontaneous music in a supportive and encouraging environment. Each session will begin with restorative breathing and long tone exercises, and then dive into structured improvisations designed to free the voice, ignite creative energy, and build group connection. Open to all levels of musical experience.
