MUX 615 - Vocal Toning

Institution:

Dutchess Community College

Subject:

Music School

Description:

All participants will learn to create a variety of vocal tones including harmonic overtones. Vocal Toning is a non-verbal conscious elongation of sounds, using the breath and voice. It has applications for meditation, movement and musical performance. It is used for ceremonies and rituals in many traditional cultures including Mongolia and Tibet. Toning does not strain the voice. As with other forms of vocal production, it is healthy exercise and helps oxygenate the body and expand lung capacity. Toning is more "free form" than singing and doesn't require previous vocal training, although many singers find that learning toning has expanded their repertoire of techniques.
