The Joyful Voice
with Simone LaDrumma
An Improvisational Vocal PLAYshop for Parties, Meetings, Classes and Gatherings of all Kinds
THE JOYFUL VOICE is a spontaneous, in-the-moment, FUN way to LIBERATE YOUR VOICE…and your creativity, as well. Using a series of (occasionally nutty) exercises, you'll be given the framework and the permission to let your voice out of its cage!
- Experience the pleasure of singing in community
- Express emotions which are deeper than words
- Explore and reinforce your sense of rhythm
- Overcome shyness in public singing and speaking.…and much more
PREREQUISITE: None! This is not about learning to be a "singer" or about having a "good voice." This is about the soul's yearning to sing with others.
Some of the Exercises We'll Do:
- "Conduct" your very own choral group (you can't do it wrong!)
- Personal Opera: No training required! (Overacting is strongly encouraged)
- Sing pictures! (not a typo)
- Add body percussion to voice so you literally feel the beat
- Experience deep peace and connection through the ancient art of droning
About Simone
I have facilitated these kinds of vocal workshops, in addition to or as part of my drumming workshops, for over 20 years. I don't like to memorize, so workshops based on spontaneity and improvisation free me from the nerve-wracking fear of having to remember things – or get things "right."
I has studied vocal improvisation with many fine teachers including Rhiannon and Christian Swenson.
Call me old-fashioned, but I think making music should be FUN and accessible to everyone!
