#43-Voice Culture Workshop

Voice is God Gifted – this is a fact. The voice is the only living instrument of music that can also be trained. A person gifted with musical abilities has a naturally gifted voice apparatus and propensities that need to be unlocked, awakened and orchestrated. Being blessed with a “golden, honey-dipped voice” is rare. But even more challenging for musicians is to sustain it as long as one would like to, for reaching out to people with one’s music.

A Master Class on Voice Culture is conducted on 5th Dec, 2021 between 9:30 A.M. – 11:00 A.M, which would aid the students of music to tread towards the direction of somatic singing. Please find the details of the workshop in the brochure given below . Register Now !!. Limited Seats !
