What if You Could Sing With More Confidence, Ease, Power and Authenticity?

Mindfulness..Through Singing?

In my early years post college, meditation and mindfulness was all the rage. Being a self-improvement junkie, I immediately hopped on to the meditation train…but ran into some hiccups…



1.The first way I was exposed to meditation…was by staying still. Having sat in school against my will for decades, sitting, and more specifically, staying still,  felt like yet another prison. 



2.It seemed to require discipline and controlling your attention. I was quite disciplined already…to a fault, where I forgot to have fun, I forgot to savor the moment…and the way I controlled my attention was through tension, by inhibiting my movement. 



3.My body was starving for movement and my heart was starving for fun and play. It wasn’t until many years later, that I ran into other ways of developing mindfulness that match up to how humans build awareness in general: through movement and through play. 



How do you think little babies understand their own bodies in space? How do they learn to walk, how do they eventually learn how to walk without running into other objects, or people? 


They move. They find more awareness through movement. They absolutely do not sit still…and they do not work…which usually means play (although it can also mean getting needs met, like hunger, thirst, etc.). 



Does that mean I’m against the stereotypical way of meditating? Absolutely not! When I’ve been hiking all day, sitting down and meditating actually sounds quite lovely! 


It does mean that mindfulness came into my life through singing and movement…and still remains a central access point to mindfulness for me, because it is actually fun to explore mindfulness through singing, playing piano and movement and it is the antidote to all the “staying still” that I have to do as a part of life…but here’s the secret benefit: I can actually stay still more easily, because my needs for movement and play are well met. 


Just like a child who can focus better after having played, you can find more self-awareness, self-trust and therefore self-confidence in singing, by exploring awareness through the movements of singing. 


So if you dread the idea of meditation, but love the idea exploring your voice and running into mindfulness along the way, the Feel Better Sing Better Class is for you. 


The FBSB Class emphasizes self-awareness, but the goal is to improve your singing and your ability to really play with your voice and really enjoy singing in a way that builds confidence


To be clear, as someone who came to singing with an overwhelming desire to get better (not necessarily to get more mindful, or enjoy myself, or have fun) developing awareness in singing is actually the smartest way to make real progress. So if all you care about is getting the high notes, this is still the most effective way to get there. 


Here’s an example…imagine you are driving with your eyes closed, and you are trying out different “techniques” with the brake and the accelerator and the steering wheel, hoping you’ll get to your destination. This is similar to most vocal techniques out there. 


Now imagine, you slowly open your eyes, and write out a map of what you see, where you want to go and whether what you’re currently doing is moving you towards that point. This is developing self-awareness through singing. It works mucho better-o. 


So if you want to develop more self-confidence, self-trust, real progress and joy in singing, this class is for you. Oh, and you might get more mindful without having to sit still.  Yay!

"The FBSB class was helpful for me as someone who doesn't have any music background, getting the mindful body awareness and blending it into singing was SUPER cool!!!"

I I highly recommend if you not only want to improve your vocal ability and technique, but also if you want to have a better relationship with your voice in general. 

I highly recommend working with Chris if you not only want to improve your vocal ability and technique, but also if you want to have a better relationship with your voice in general. His style is very mindful, encouraging, empowering, and fun. I feel like I understand myself and the instrument of my voice so much better after taking lessons with Chris, and I have a greater appreciation for my body and all it can do. I felt a lot of nervousness and vulnerability before my first lesson, but Chris is great at creating a safe and welcoming environment to explore and grow. As a beginner, this was just what I needed! 


The problem: You want to sing with more confidence...but...



 You don’t know where to start, you’ve never had lessons before or prior education in singing…


Unlike most voice lessons or singing courses out there, the FBSB class helps you get to know your voice, as it is now, from the inside out…before jumping into exercises, so you can map out your range as it is now and see how you grow!

You’ve been told in the past you “can’t sing” or “sound bad”

The FBSB class helps you discover new sounds in non-judgemental ways so that your voice cna surprise you with what you're truly capable of. No matter how good you get as a singer, we all have the inner critic. The FBSB class helps you focus on all the other beautiful feelings in singing so that your inner critic isn’t the only voice in your head when you sing…but so much more…like singing from your heart, singing with your whole body…and more!

You’ve tried lessons and courses before…but maybe they didn’t seem to “work”.

The FBSB class gets to the heart of learning how to sing, which to be able to tell how you are singing in the first place. Most other lessons/courses don’t help you see where you are starting from as a singer clearly enough to sense changes and improvements, so you’re always stuck and dependent on the teacher or outside ears. This class helps you feel empowered to sense your own improvement.

What's the Feel Better, Sing Better Class? 

What is the Feel Better, Sing Better [FBSB] Class?

The Feel Better, Sing Better Class  [FBSB} is an Online Class where you can explore your voice in totally new ways that increase your confidence, help you understand how your voice works, discover your unique habits and voice as a singer so that you can sing with more authenticity, creativity, power and ease, without the nerves, self-criticism, tension or self-silencing taking over.

Perfect for…

Beginning singers,  if you don’t know your range, ability or talent.


Beginning singers, if you want to develop your confidence.

 
Professionals needing a fresh perspective on their voice to break out of long-held vocal struggles.


Singers of any skill level if you  aren't able to take lessons but want to explore your voice on your own.

 


You’ll learn how to…

Find where your voice feels and sounds the best, so you can stop wondering if you “sound good” and start enjoying feeling and sounding better.

Build a stronger sense of your own individual voice, so you don’t just copy the singers you hear.

 
Develop a deeper understanding and trust in your voice, so you can sing with more confidence.




What Makes The FBSB Class Different from most Voice Lessons, Exercises &  Courses? 

 Most voice lessons, courses and exercises focus on the outside in…they judged some note as off, find some “problem” with your voice, then you do things on the outside…like certain exercises or songs, to “fix” your voice so you start singing the “right” way.

 The problem with this, is that your sound is just a side effect of your movement, so if you don’t improve your movement and even before that, your own sense of HOW you’re moving to make sound, you’ll never reach your real vocal potential.

More than that, learning to sing from the outside is not only less effective, its less fun! With the FBSB class, we focus on singing from the inside out. By sensing how you feel and move before you even sing your first note, you’ll start to notice just how much confidence and ease you can develop in your singing by working with the root of singing: movement and feeling.

That’s the special sauce of the FBSB Class…and why you won’t find anything quite like it at this price point or convenience. 




FAQ


I’m just a beginning singer and have no prior singing experience, will this still work for me?

Yes! You don’t need any prior experience singing to take the class…and the class itself is designed to help experienced singers feel like beginners, and help beginning singers get lots of experience!

How much time is required?

 
Each class is about an hour, so about two hours a month, + Two 10min practice sessions. The class is designed in a way where you’re able to take the class and practice sessions multiple times and have a totally different experience each time. How? Well you’ll have to join to find out!

The bare minimum time commitment to get benefits would be taking the two classes each month, but of course the more you repeat the classes/practice with the variations the faster you’ll progress and the more confident you’ll feel.

How fast can I expect results?

Every singer starts with a differing amount of self/body/voice awareness, an improvement in the ease and/or sound of your voice is often within the first class, yet it might take some time for you to notice you’re improving, since we can’t see or touch are vocal instrument.

The magic of the class though, is that any voice lessons or other classes you take in singing will be more effective because you’ll be able to sense your voice more clearly than before, thanks to the FBSB class. Its recommended that you record yourself singing a few sentences of a song that is of medium difficulty for you, and refer back to that phrase with each class to notice how you grow!

How do I access the materials?

You’ll get links to a google drive folder, this will have a link to the video class, the notes that go with the class containing timestamps so you can jump around as needed…and 10min audio practice tracks that you can download to your phone for easy practice in the car or when you’re short on time.

Before I met Chris I was skeptical that I could even become a better singer.

After a couple months of taking lessons with Chris, I can honestly say that I have noticed significant improvement in my singing...
