COURSE

Advanced Overtone Singing And Chanting

With Paul Carlos

This advanced course has the primary objective of teaching you the techniques to produce the Tuvan styles of throat singing. The styles from Tibet and Mongolia are very similar and so are easily assimilated once the foundation principles laid out here are well established. The course is participatory, fun and interactive as we explore together the weird and wonderful world of Overtone singing and chanting. The last module has us all singing and chanting along together.

In this course we will be looking predominantly into the techniques of Tuvan Throat and Overtone singing.
