PREPARATION:
Participants don’t need to have a music or singing background. It is desirable to be able to sing in tune but should not be seen as obstacle which prevents participants to access the training. From participants is expected willingness to discover own voice abilities.
Training is of practical nature.
OBJECTIVES:
1) discover own voice possibilities
2) through voice development, overcome personal limitations
The aim of this project is to learn how to use own voice in easy and comfortable way and not to loose own voice after singing or speaking.
The aim is also to rise self-confidence in singing (in front of the group of people).
1) In “School for Uncovering the Voice” the singing is not regarded as a “product” of certain organs or parts of the body, but as an expression of the entire human being.
The voice, however could be obstructed by physiological and other hindrances. “School for Uncovering the Voice” as a method of singing strives to eliminate such an obstructions, so that the voice which is present in every human being can be revealed. Rather than speaking of training the voice, one should speak of freeing or uncovering the voice.
Through this training participants will be learning how to make our bodies more permeable for the voice to pass through. How to omit unnecesary movements and reduse tension in our body by singing.
Participants will be teached the basic exercises of “School for Uncovering the Voice” which work on phisical but also on psychological level.
On phisical level we will learn how to use our whole body as an instrument for the singing (not only some parts of the body), how to deal with the breath, how to use our vocal organs in more practical and fruitful way without forcing and pusing the voice.
Special attention will be given to therapeutical exercises (for example, exercises which heal the breathing).
is immense exactly because, in its essence, it co-depends in the most intimate way with the entire human being in his thinking, feeling and will.
2) Through discovering the new voice possibilities participants will experience efects of this training on their self-esteem. Since work on the voice is never just “work on the voice” but always “work on oneself”, participants will be guided to search and discover musicality which is already present in them.
They will be encouraged to sing in front of the others and by that to owercome fear or insecurity in singing.
By that they will exercises their confidence in singing by breaking bariers in their body and soul.
METHODOLOGY:
The first days fucus will be given to the basic singing exercises which helps to relax the phisycal body and by that voices could flow more fluently through the body. Those exercises help to make an instrument of our body. During the week beside the basic exercises, further exercises (which will lead more towards the opening of the voices, widening the range and volume of the voice, ect.), will be introduced and practiced.
At the begining accent will be given on rounds, but later solo songs and choir pieces will be teached and practiced.
