Inside This Article
Imagine a singing-learning journey where you feel both completely free to choose what you want to do and how you want to sound while also being guided and supported in a fully independent, yet interactive way. That’s the essence of The Singing Self style of learning. It’s about empowering your unique voice with a blend of personal freedom and expert direction that is imparted indirectly through the lessons themselves.
Ready to explore what’s possible? THE NEW SINGING SELF PROGRAM offers hundreds of hours of in-depth classes covering a vast array of vocal themes and topics. If you’re curious to see what our classes are like before diving in, here are three sample sessions to give you a taste:
Sample #1: Discover the Hidden Key to Laryngeal Freedom
LIBERATING THE LARYNX (Class #1 of 5) – “HI HI HI HYOID – GREETINGS AND INTRODUCTIONS AKA ‘WHERE YOU AT?!?'”
Did you know there’s a tiny, horseshoe-shaped bone in your neck that’s absolutely crucial for your voice? Meet the Hyoid Bone! Often called the “tongue bone,” it sits just below your tongue and above your Adam’s Apple. The way this bone moves at rest – lifted, lowered, forward, and back – correlates with the freedom and agility of your larynx for everything from speaking and swallowing to powerful and effortless singing.
In this introductory class, we’ll pinpoint the Hyoid Bone and begin to unlock its natural movement through simple awareness lessons and gentle exploration. This is a fundamental aspect of vocal ability often overlooked, but once you grasp it, those confusing instructions like “raise your larynx” or “stabilize your larynx” will suddenly make perfect, functional sense. Prepare for an “aha!” moment that can transform your understanding of your own voice and vocal technique in general.

Sample #2: Unlock Effortless Singing with a New Perspective on Your Tongue
COMMON PROBLEMS/UNCOMMON SOLUTIONS (Class #3 of 4) – “GRAVITY AND GRACEFULNESS – PRIMING THE SYSTEM FOR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING”
Think you know your tongue and how it impacts your voice? Prepare to be surprised! In this unique class, we explore the fascinating connection between your tongue and your entire vocal, skeletal, and overall self.
We start by playing with gravity in an unexpected way! Moving beyond typical upright or lying-down lessons, this session introduces a completely different body position to explore the tongue’s activity. This novel approach allows for a profound release of habitual tension, bringing about true ease, neutrality, freedom, and enhanced mobility for both speaking and singing. If you’re ready to experience a surprising breakthrough in your vocal freedom, this class is for you.

Sample #3: Discover Your Inner Teacher: Working with Anatomy the Natural Way
HOW TO TEACH WITHOUT TEACHING (INTRO COURSE) – “LIVING ANATOMY – EXPLORING THE STRUCTURE OF NOT STRUCTURE… WITH AWARENESS, OF COURSE”
Ever feel overwhelmed by complex anatomical terms when trying to improve your voice? This class offers a refreshing approach! We’ll explore how to work with the anatomy of your voice without getting bogged down in endless details or viewing the body as just a collection of separate parts.
Discover how your body, voice, and self are interconnected systems with intricate relationships and principles of coordination. As singers and performers, understanding this global view is crucial for both your practice and your performance. When this integrated understanding becomes clear, your singing will take on a new dimension – feeling natural, easy, and “non-technical,” allowing you to sing and move freely without getting stuck in your head or constantly recalling rigid instructions.
