Please join Ivy Walz for an interactive workshop in which
participants will have the opportunity to explore techniques, strategies
and ideas that encourage healthy singing. If you would like to learn
more about building vocal flexibility, finding greater ease when
singing/speaking or learning about ways to liberate your vocal sound,
this workshop is for you! Participants will have the opportunity to view
demonstrations that show how the voice works and then explore the
voice’s natural movement through fun exercises and demonstrations. Each
participant will leave with strategies for how to access their voice
more freely, while navigating busy life demands. The workshop is open to
singers of all levels and voice users.
