Enabling Singing Villages EUROPE: Training for Vocal Leaders

Throughout the training, a group of singers and song leaders will have the chance to explore together and deepen different forms and models of collaborative vocal improvisation, including circlesinging.

Every song leader will have the opportunity to lead and be led by others, as well as acquire some fundamental tools to develop their own improvisational language and musicianship, and gain confidence in group-leading skills.

These four days are an invitation for everyone to begin a deep journey into their personal practice and explore together from their differences, openly sharing strengths and challenges, inventiveness and resources.

The purpose of the training is for participants to incorporate vocal improvisation and circlesinging into their life, work and community: singing group, school, nursery, retirement home, therapeutic setting, community choir, spiritual practice, or just with a group of keen and adventurous friends.

Another aim is to expand beyond their personal practice as vocal improvisers and cultivate the skills for leading spontaneous singing activities with diverse communities and encourage connection and wellbeing in others.

This workshop is an invitation for diverse facilitators and song sharers to rediscover their innate musicality and reconnect with their voices and bodies as instruments of expression, play, and presence, so that they can share from that starting place and inspire others.

My vision is to inspire leaders, musicians, choir leaders, therapists, and facilitators to weave spontaneous singing into their own work, and expand the reach of this powerful tool for human connection, wellbeing and potentially the transformation of our relationship with ourselves, with each other and the planet with all its life forms.

This course will be taught in English, but if needed for extra clarity, I can respond to questions, and translate ideas and any fine detail to Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
