‘TONING FOR SINGING’
Skype course with Hilary Canto
We can offer a superb 12 week course, giving singers and teachers alike a wonderful
opportunity to train face-to-face with Hilary Canto, renowned expert in chanting
& toning. The course helps you to achieve vocal and emotional health via sound, working
one-to-one with a top sound healer and nutritionist.
The course comprises the following elements:
12 x 1-hour classes with Hilary, initially working with Sanskrit sounds and familiar
vowel sounds, extending range & improving pitch and projection. You will also discover
how to remove emotional blocks to listening, pitching and producing clear notes.
In the latter part of the course, you will work on the body & voice connection, learning
about nutrition and vocal health, before bringing the whole experience together in
the final week. Hilary truly has an holistic approach to singing, and describes her
approach to vocalising as ‘heart centred’.
This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who is interested in the holistic voice
- singers, singing teachers and non-singers alike - to work with this extraordinary
and gifted teacher. She combines gentle and heart-centred technique with sound, scientific
nutritional advice for overall and vocal health. Perfect for singing teachers or
singers wanting to explore a viable alternative to the mainstream pedagogical approaches.
This course is also perfect for those who wish that they could sing, but feel that
they can’t!
This course is accredited by VIDLA, and upon completion to pass standard, you will
receive a very handsome VIDLA Certificate.
Please note: daily practise will be necessary between lessons, and you will need
to record yourself (not to professional standard, but clearly enough to be assessed)
in order that Hilary can assess your progress and give you feedback along the way.
