From “Singing and Silence” at www.susanosborn.com:

Singing is a practice in listening; a way to center in the body and breath, contact who you are beyond thought, and from that place create a gift of beauty and truth to share with others.

Singing is the direct language of the soul, available to all people regardless of talent. It is a universally understood communication, beyond words, from one body to another.

Singing is a way to still the mind by deepening, slowing, and extending the breath. Singing arises from and returns to silence.

We will explore the nature of emotion, and how it influences and ultimately shapes the sound of the voice, as well as how singing can contribute significantly to our overall sense of well-being.
