SING FROM THE SOURCE ONLINE VOICE CLASSES

Welcome on a transformative journey to unlock your voice and discover your artistry as a singer! 

Lost in technique

After I had graduated from music university, I still felt limited in my vocal technique and artistic expression. So I embarked on a vocal learning quest, that took me to study several modern vocal methods.

While I got more and more knowledge on how the voice works, a suitcase full of “technique fixes”, and was now able to do lots of cool things with my voice, I couldn’t help feeling I was drifting further and further away from something essential. After the initial excitement about having found what I thought I was looking for in a vocal method, it all started feeling very rigid. The approaches to learning were mainly technical-intellectual. Every modern vocal method told me there was a map to the voice, but it was their map with their vocabulary.

There was no room for true awareness and true integration of all the parts that make up your voice – beyond your lungs, larynx and vocal tract, which is what most vocal methods are focused on – let alone creativity, playfulness, building your own map and using your own words, which are perhaps one of the most important aspects of learning (as you’ll find out when you join classes).

Surely there had to be another way to learning and practicing singing!

Finding back to your Source

Being a lifelong learner, I continued studying different approaches of working with the voice, and ventured beyond vocal pedagogy into other fields that I was passionate about, including meditation, mindfulness, somatic approaches, mindful learning, metaphysics and energetics, while also learning more about how to transform limiting mindset, and more.

The singers I worked with started having breakthroughs beyond just vocal technique – in awareness, practice, performance and creativity.

Singers I had worked with had been celebrating results with me prior to this too, when I was teaching from a “modern vocal method focus” –  but this was different. This was more profound.

Together with a mentor, I began mapping out what I was actually doing when I was teaching voice. And that’s how the Sing From The Source approach got its elements and its name.

More about the Sing From The Source approach

Read about the pillars of this work

“I have a Bachelor of Music in classical voice and have been a vocal performance coach and professional singer myself for about fifteen years, so I know my way around my voice (and voices in general) in many ways. However I had a few lingering bad habits in my own singing that Iā€™d never addressed and techniques Iā€™d never solidified from when I first started formal singing training as a teenager that I felt were really holding me back, especially as I started work on a fairly ambitious original vocal project.

 I sought Katjaā€™s help to re-establish the basics and to explore the limits of my vocal capabilities. I got SO much out of my work with Katja ā€“ my sessions with her were the highlight of my week.

Katja blows me away with her breadth of knowledge not only of the voice itself, but also a variety of vocal pedagogies. I canā€™t imagine a situation where she wouldnā€™t be able to meet a learner at their individual point of need, as she draws on a very extensive range of experience and can reframe concepts in different ways until it sinks in. I really canā€™t recommend Katja highly enough!ā€
