INTRO TO OVERTONE SINGING WITH Harmonic Introductions
Picture
Overtone Singing is a technique that enables one vocalist to produce and, with a bit of practice, control two notes simultaneously.

Overtone singing can be used in various contexts, from emulating synthesized sounds to full self-polyphony.

When multiple voices come together to sing in this style, a relaxing, glowing atmosphere is created. Overtones are always perfectly in tune.

This workshop will explain the theory behind overtone singing and teach the basic techniques of producing them.
​

Harmonic Introductions is a community vocal ensemble dedicated to expanding the awareness, appreciation, and understanding of polyphonic overtone singing. Founded by Robb Saffell and Julian-Israel Canizares in Spring, 2012, Harmonic Introductions has hosted and participated in over 100 events over the past decade to teach, perform, and build a culture and community focused on the art of overtone singing.

Arranging through Improvisation
Picture
Improvising Vocal Arrangements -even with a choir-sized group – is easier than you think! Using a combination of improvisation games from Bobby McFerrin, Rhiannon, Roger Treece, Michelle Weir and more, participants will learn several methods of creating pop vocal arrangements.
All the games and exercises can be applied to any singing group -whether your ensemble is large or small, or even occasionally sings (gasp!) with instruments (we won’t tell anyone).
