Khoomei 'Throat singing' / Overtone singing

Actively illuminating

As a complete novice to throat and overtone singing and for someone who is very shy about using their voice in this way, I was extremely nervous. Jonathan made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. It's a great way to start to understand how to go forward to learn this technique...

I've only had one lesson and I didn’t know much about Throat singing / Overtone singing. It was very complete and very well structured. To record the lesson was not only permitted but suggested. Different exercises for different type of sounds / type of singing were given. Precaution for the safety and care of the vocal cords were present at all time. Highly recommended.

Jonathan is an amazing teacher and made me feel at home and at ease straight away, highly recommendable

Myself and two friends drove up from SE Hampshire and attended Jonny's Throat Singing 3-hour class yesterday, and we all left with smiles on our faces and so many positive things to say about the session. Jonny is a talented and natural teacher with a really accommodating, knowledgeable, and friendly approach to his teaching. Myself and my two friends have been practicing a bit of Tuvan/Mongolian throat singing for a couple of months or so with little regular practice, and so Jonny was able to walk us through the very basics (with lots of information and tips), and introduce us to some more advanced techniques. He taught a range of techniques to us and gave us some weird and cool exercises to try which have been really helpful. He made us all feel very welcome, and for three shy people we felt like we could all be ourselves and really give it our best shot. Jonny also made us some lovely herbal tea and sat with us for a while after to talk about the session and where we want to take our skills. Very happy students, thanks Jonny!

Jonathan has been really engaging bringing us through the basic at first and allowing us to explore gradually our inner sounds. Very good communication and clear explanations with plenty of demonstrations. He really made us able to follow even without much musical experience. The workshop left us with a good understanding of throath singing and overtones as well as practical working tools and exercises to keep exploring this incredible singing technique. Thanks for teaching us Jonathan! Francesco and Erica After a week I know how to produce Overtones (lot of practice while driving) but I am still learning how to produce a scale of sounds. Erica is ahead of me. Any video to help identifying the tongue position to create a scale of overtones?
