Sounding Circles Presents: Sounding with the Monochord

This is an interactive support group and semi-private instruction with slides, written materials, and recordings you get to keep. Learn special techniques for how to vocally sound and tone together with your monochord combined with monochord playing tips. You're invited to go deeper into the monochord while expanding your possibilities for powerful self-expression. You'll be shown how to work with your own voice as a tool for self-healing, learning simple yet powerful practices that can change your life, by developing and committing to a daily sounding practice with accountability from the group. The course covers instruction of supportive breathing and vocal techniques, working with vowel sounds, learning vocal overtoning, extended vocal techniques, visualization exercises and more.This class will up your inner ear, enhance your speaking and singing voice, and help you to feel vibrationally balanced and powerful. You will also have partner sessions with others within the group outside the course. This is not a singing course and no vocal expertise is necessary. Trained vocalists as well as those afraid of using their voice will have the opportunity for rich self-discovery. For the monochord, we recommend first taking the "Secrets of the Monochord" training to learn basic playing techniques, but special permission may be granted to take this class without it for those who've been playing the monochord for some time.

What participants have shared about "Sounding with the Monochord":

"I loved the meditations, and the experience of learning how to do that for myself with all the different ways that sound can be used. I enjoyed all the exercises you shared with us: giving expression to a part of our bodies that needs attention, and all the varied ways we can use sound that I’d never thought of before! I learned is how important sound is as a personal practice to keep our vibration high – to play, use my voice, and use the instrument, and the understanding our own voice is the most healing sound that we have!  I’m inspired to use my voice more!"

- Martha Lucier, founder of Northern Edge Algonquin Retreat Centre

"In a nutshell Joule created safe space – even though we’re all in completely different places. She comes off in an expert manner. There are slides, and there are times when we’re not looking at the slides when we're toning with our eyes closed – but then you can come back and it’s like oh, there’s a brightness – these visuals are great! We're invited to go deeper in ourselves, there’s no judgement. We're introduced to all these things, which doesn’t mean you need to use them all, but there’s the path and the way to explore. It was an introduction to so many techniques, like toning. There's also a piece about practice – that some things come naturally and that you like, but here are ways to work on those you don't; pushing the exploration so you’re not just in your comfort zone. Through that process you learn about what your comfort zone is."
