Singers Workshops in Paris

# You're invited to a 2h Circle Song Session!

Come join the fun and explore your musical vocabulary by making a song at the moment.

Circle songs are about group improvisational singing, inspired by Bobby McFerrin's circle songs. In short, it means singing together and creating music as we go along (with some guidelines).

It is a beautiful experience, where you get to sing with others, connect with your sound, and practice listening and singing at the same time, and through improvisation you learn to sing more freely.

There are no mistakes, just explorations.

In this session, we will play with some rhythms and do more improvisational games. I bring something new in each session, to keep things interesting and give you something new to think about! ;)

No preparation nor experience is necessary - just show up and be open!

## The Inspiration:

Maja Savic's journey began as a singing instructor in 2009, with the expectation of teaching techniques and scales. However, her path led her to a world beyond her imagination. Her students were not aspiring singers; they were individuals who had lost their voices due to criticism and self-doubt. Through her teaching, she empowers them to rediscover their confidence and self-worth. She believes that our instrument is not just our voice; it encompasses our entire BODY, and she helps her students reconnect with their truth and find freedom. 🌟

During her Yoga Teacher Training, Maja discovered remarkable parallels between the techniques she used in singing and yoga. This realization inspired her to craft this unique workshop, where yogic principles and singing techniques intertwine. Together, participants embark on a transformative journey to connect with their true voices and align their entire being. 🌌

Join us for the "Body, Breath & Voice - The Embodied Resonance Workshop," a transformative journey that centers on refining your vocal technique, uncovering your natural sound, freeing your voice, and mastering the art of singing effortlessly. This experience will guide you towards profound alignment with your authentic self, all through the power of your voice. 🌟
