Harmonium: Musicianship Workshop! This Sunday (Jan 28) from 2-5pm in Madison, NJ. $35 for the session. Harmonium is an excellent choir in our area. I highly recommend all their workshops.

"Effective breathing is at the core of our artistry – yet it eludes many singers. Removing the mystery and developing mastery is possible when singers have correctly mapped the structures and movement of breathing. This session will take participants through the important steps for experiencing and effectively teaching balanced breathing to singers of all ages in the choral setting."

Body mapping with Dr. Heather Buchanan.
