Quiet Fears · Call off the Thought and Sing no. 8

As a teacher I help people bring out their full voices, develop their chops (musicianship), express themselves, connect and heal, become great vocal improvisers and make wonderful music together out of the moment. As an artist I practice, perform and record primarily improvised music on themes of human depth, paradigm shift, the intimacy and bigger picture of our times.

Briony Greenhill

Trauma awareness is on the rise. How does improvised singing fit into the healing picture?

How it worksWe gather on zoom and settle in together (please try to be on time). We&#x27;ll listen to some music, the speakers will speak for about 5 mins each, then we&#x27;ll open the conversation to everyone. At various points we&#x27;ll Call off the Thought and Sing, using voice to digest the emotions raised by the conversation. We&#x27;ll mostly be on mute, but hopefully some of you will come off mute sometimes. From time to time we have a guest musician. We&#x27;ll practice plurality (hold space for divergent view points), communicate respectfully, and make sense of our world together in a held space.With<a href="https://www.nessigomesmusic.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nessi Gomes</a> is a musician, and group facilitator with a BA (Hons) in Creative Expressive Therapies in Music and a certified Holistic Voice Therapist with The British Academy of Sound Therapy (BAST) in Group Voice Therapy.
