Throat Singing Workshop-April 18- May 9

Tuvan Throat Singing Workshop with Scott Peterson

Where: 195 Church St. @ Shuter

When: Saturdays, 1 p.m.- 3 p.m. 4 sessions from April 18- May 9

Fee: $100 or $80 if registered before April 9

We will explore 2 styles of Tuvan throat singing: Xhoomei (high pitched whistle sound) and Kargyraa (guttural and low sound)

You do not need a musical background for this workshop--just a throat.

Scott Peterson discovered throat singing by accident in a shaman's maloca in the Peruvian Andes. Since this discovery, he has travelled to the Republic of Tuva in Siberia to study throat singing with Tuvan master throat singer Sergei Ondar. Scott is a composer, bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, and music teacher. Scott is integrating throat singing with western improvisational technique.
