Singing with Ease

A six week mind+body+voice experience in a supportive environment

Vocal fundamentals classes that constitute the core of my systematic approach to the voice, influenced by mind+body modalities

Small group classes

In Person: Mondays @ 8 pm, Sept. 16 - Nov. 4 in Bitter Lake (north Seattle)
Online: TBA

(...plus access to discounted one:one sessions!)

This course is ideal for anyone who wants to understand their voice and be empowered to make changes.

Voice users who need to fight fatigue or tension and have a structured warmup routine
Singers and other voice professionals who want to review the fundamentals of vocal function while incorporating anatomical awareness
Teachers and conductors looking for clarity or new ways of explaining basic concepts efficiently
Human beings who want to breathe better

The focus is on process, not product.

Topics include Mindset, Alignment, Breathing, Phonation, Resonance, Articulation, and Registration, through embodied anatomy* (appropriate for various levels of mobility), mindfulness (guided self-awareness), and systematic vocalises (logically sequenced and designed to solve root problems), curated over the past two decades.

*Embodied anatomy = a felt, experiential understanding in your own body during movement, not simply static intellectual information.

"[Dr. Mastrian] is most gracious and non-judgmental in sharing practical and measurable methods for restoring balance and function to the body and mind that allow freedom and release....
It seemed that every person entered a deeper awareness of body sensation and patterning.
Many commented they felt greater ease in phonation, and that became audible as the sound of their voices changed.

....[A student of mine who] battles against her tension like no one I have ever seen before returned to lessons with new energy and strategies for accessing physical and emotional freedom." - P. B.

This course is:

An opportunity to hone your mind+body+voice (a.k.a. brain+body+breath) connection regardless of starting skill level.
A chance to explore your voice in a supportive environment and come away with concrete tools for improvement.
A way to better understand and feel your own anatomy.

This course is not:

An opportunity to learn or polish specific repertoire. (See me privately!)
A chance to be competitive or negative about oneself or others. (My studio doesn't ascribe to this mindset!)
A way to passively receive information. (We experience it instead!)
