MUSIC THEORY: THE MINOR SCALE, PART 2
What is a Scale?
A scale is a pattern of notes that create a certain feeling and atmosphere. Most music, songs and melodies are built from the notes of a scale. In western music, we use the Major and Minor scales to compose and create music; in jazz music, modes are also common.

TERM 2 LESSON UPDATE
The winds are blowing internally strong at this time of transition and transformation. Whatever you may be meeting, may you hold yourself with tender arms and care; as the leaves fall away, the tree meets the nakedness of its being. Still, strong, breathing, rooted in connectedness.

TERM 1 LESSON UPDATE
This year has started at a blistering pace! Sophia Tuv and I combined our wisdom to bring the Wild Voice workshops and Devotional Song Circles to life. We held a one-day workshop in Castlemaine in January, and two days in Warranwood, in February. They both offered a spaciously sublime, inspiring and nourishing experience for all who attended.

THE RESONATING BODY - VOCAL REGISTERS, PART 1
Everyone has a vocal register! Your vocal register is the range of notes that your vocal instrument can play from low to high and vice versa. It is essential to understand how to play your instrument, how to play the high, mid and low notes, feel where the transition points are, where the freedom in your voice is and where the challenges/limitations are so that you can work on them; accept what is possible and what isn’t. Everyone has a unique voice and register.
