The Living Instrument Course
The Living Instrument is for anyone interested in exploring creative vocal music, and sharing your instrument together with others. Here you and your voice are part "soloist", part "conductor", part "orchestra" and part "band". But never in a lonely way, but constantly in harmony with others and where you practice listening to your inner song. CVI offers a lot of singing and voice from the soul together with musical development and challenge. We work intensively from morning to night within CVI - Collaborative vocal improvisation and VPA - Vocal Process Art. The body as an instrument, musicality in practice and sharing are the tools we work with. Creative expression, where you use your voice all the time. CVI is profound, we work from the core - we can call it "your inner singing technique", body, presence, finding the power and softness and listening to the emptiness, the gut feeling. Rather peel away and open up than put on and encapsulate. Having a lot of singing in your bag can be an advantage as you should be prepared to be heard, listened to, created and driven by music, as well as sing a lot! However, you do not need to be a professional or advanced singer. We all have different challenges and we all have something to learn from each other. This is not singing training or masterclass, you participate as a singer and develop by practicing within given CVI forms.
Do you want to create music with your fantastic instrument, dare to sing fully, play with other people's instruments seriously, practice your musicality and challenge your musical creativity and open courage? THEN this is probably for you ❤️
We ask you to send in a recording so that you can practice hearing yourself and showing how I sound 📣 Pretend that you are "singing in the shower" with let's hear it. If it feels too scary/difficult, get in touch and we will support you! Don't stop yourself!
If you are unsure, don't hesitate to submit your application anyway and we'll take it from there!
Often the answers are on the inside, CVI is a way to hear both your own and others' insides and express it by singing out! Let your body tell you.
In your application, we want you to "think out loud" about a few questions so we can get to know you better:
