Potent Listening

Tuning Your Ears & Your Nervous System

Potent Voice Summer School – June 1st – 5th

£100 (suggested fee, or any donation welcome)

As I continue to explore the potential of the human voice, it has become ever more clear to me that the way we learn to listen is a key aspect of our vocal, musical, and human development. Listening to our own voice with focussed awareness is important for both enriching the tonal qualities of the vocal sounds we can produce, and increasing the ease with which we produce those sounds.

The effectiveness of our hearing is harder to quantify, and the slow deterioration that occurs as we age is not easy to recognise while it is happening – it is very likely that we may not know what we are losing until it is gone. As a lover of music I have been interested in finding ways to maintain and extend my hearing function for many years.

I am continually exploring what improvements might be made to our sound frequency perception, and I am now confident that it is possible to refine and enhance our hearing abilities by training ourselves to listen in a more conscious and attentive manner.

This Daily Course will be an exploration of possible ways to increase our ability to both listen and hear. It will be an ideal workshop for you if you are interested in your own voice, other voices, vocal meditations, enhanced sensory self-awareness, and all types of performance, as well as – of course – if you have any interest in improving your listening skills and your hearing capacity.

Feldenkrais For Life! Summer School

Reversing The Aging Process with Awareness Through Movement

August 10th – 21st

£200 (suggested fee, or any donation welcome)

Our current culture constantly trumpets the idea of our inevitable decline as we age. That we go along with this idea is partly due to how little we understand the sort of creature we are. We are the cleverest ape because we keep on learning throughout our lives in many different ways, but principally through our capacity for language; we converse, we discuss, we read, and we write—we rely heavily on words to expand our knowledge. We are unusually long-lived—way past the end of our fertility—and one explanation for this is because the wisdom of our elders is so important for maintaining our cultures and our communities. The dominance of language in our understanding of the way life works can leave us less aware of the capacity of our sensory-motor systems for life-long learning. In actuality our intelligence is not simply intellectual but also physical, sensual, melodic, rhythmic, and emotional, and all of these intelligences can be enhanced by the power of our imagination. Maintaining vital movement abilities is just one piece of the picture; if we are to have not just a long life but also a healthy and joy-filled one, we also need to:

Retain our youthful curiosity…
Use our strength naturally in our daily life, not just in the gym…
Be careful not to slip into too many rigid routines, or get too attached to rigid dogmas…
Stay open to new challenges and possibilities…
Know how to regain lost or fading abilities, and recognise whatever we might be doing that is causing our deterioration—deterioration that leads not just to chronic movement restriction and pain, but also to the narrowing of our horizons and a diminishing capacity to dream of a better future.

—Obviously ten days is not enough time to cover all these possibilities in depth, but we will be able to take a good long look at how being both mentally flexible [‘neuroplastic’], AND a creature whose tissue structures constantly renew and rebuild [‘bioplastic’] can enable us to begin living a more potent life at any age.

Potent Breathing—Potent Voice

Sunday July 5th

Breathing in a ‘well-organised’ way is the most fundamental of my Feldenkrais fundamentals; during Awareness Through Movement lessons, whatever we are doing we always paying attention to the ease and flow of our breathing as we are doing it. Using carefully designed breathing patterns for health and well-being is so fundamental that their history goes all the way back to our most ancient cultures, and many of the processes our ancestors discovered are still in use today – Qi Gong and Pranayama are particularly well-known, but even a brief stint on google reveals links to other, less well-documented traditions from all over the world…

…and of course as a singer I am well aware of just how fundamental singing and chanting were to our earliest tribal communities – some researchers even believe that singing pre-dated speech in our evolution.

Improving your ability to breathe, freely, fully, and spontaneously, without inhibition anywhere in your throat, your chest or your abdomen, remains one of the most effective, most affordable, and most portable of our natural self-healing abilities.

People my Potent Voice workshops are beneficial for:

Singers, presenters, performers, and anyone interested in the voice, and any aspect of self-expression

Anyone dealing with chronic stress issues, or breathing problems/conditions

Anyone dealing with chronic tension in the face, tongue, jaw, neck, and throat

Anyone interested in meditation, chanting, and neural self-regulation

Anyone who feels that emotional inhibition is limiting their capacity for self-expression and self-assertion.

The fee includes notes to make it easy for you to continue practising at home, and to minimise the need for note taking during the class.

Please do contact me with any questions you may have, and note that BOOKING IS BY EMAIL, so you can contact me via this link if you want to reserve your place for any of my online events. All online sessions include recordings and notes.

Individual Vocal Training Sessions

Rather than lower my standard rate for one-to-one sessions online, which is £70 for a 75 minute session, I am offering one-to-one online sessions as “suggested fee or donation”, for the time being. The extra time is necessary for discussion and feedback. I can accept payments via BACS, and, if that is inconvenient for any reason, PayPal.

Functional Self-Integration Lessons

For anyone who cannot travel and for whom home-visits are too expensive you might like to consider individual online sessions – I am very happy to chat with you to see if we can work effectively this way.

*Suggested-fee-or-donation rate applies.

Learning with awareness…

The most common feature of people who achieve indescribable and superb performance is the hours of daily practise they all undertake throughout their lives. Hours of repetitive practice is hard work; hours of practicing awareness in movement or action remain the most absorbing and interesting time in our lives. The feeling of being alive relates to the awareness of growing to be oneself.

The Elusive Obvious, Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1981)

I did not know what to expect from, or after the first Feldenkrais workshop I attended. I found the sequences gentle and relaxing. It was liberating and exhilarating to feel different parts of my head, neck and shoulders moving independently – as they did so there was a sense that they were strengthening. During the course I learnt that these gentle movement lessons could heal pain experienced in the body. I was, at the time, experiencing discomfort in my knees when going downstairs. I was also experiencing pain in my right shoulder which had begun approximately three weeks before the workshop.

The day after I was completely free of pain, both in my shoulder and my knees. I walked downstairs in a way which would be considered usual as a way of descending stairs. I had not descended stairs in this way for approximately three years. I had either relied heavily on the handrail for support, or taken the steps one at a time – how wonderful it was to be pain free.

Marion Goldstraw (2008)

“Thanks very much for your wonderful voice course. I am still working through the material and have a much larger range at each end of the scale. It was really interesting to have speech contextualised into its effect on laryngeal movement and brought me a new awareness in that area and a sense of how voice production affects the diaphragm and its attachments to the spine, rather than just the other way round.

The untrammelled, quite deep (for me) voice that your workshop gave me at the end was gratifying but it changed into something different later. Your workshop also changed my listening. Yes it it true that I still sing out of tune (I can hear it now) but I had an experience towards the end of your workshop – I stepped out of the passageway from the studio into the street and all the cars and trucks and drills and birdsong were a symphony! It was so weird – I never usually listen much let alone savour such sounds and I certainly never realised they were all at different pitches. I must stress that I am not musical and this was not my usual perception of the world.
