Khöömii is an amazing style of harmonic overtone singing where one person sings two or more distinct pitches at the same time. It originates among the nomads of the central Asian plateau, particularly the Altai & Sayan mountain regions of Mongolia & Tuva. The nomads of these parts have discovered how to sing melodies that arise from the universal harmonic series. Listen to your own overtones as you discover the unknown depths and heights of your own voice.
The six evening classes are open to anyone who wishes to explore the harmonic nature of their voice.
Places are limited so booking is essential. A £20 non-refundable deposit is required with full payment on the first day of the class. For booking and more information please contact Michael on 020 8558 6982 or email [email protected]
