I have been a voice-pedagogue (since 2004) – teacher of singing, overtone and pop-singing in Prague
Since 2006 - I´m giving workshops:
1) Overtone techniques, resonance, voice training and proper breathing
2) Improvisation – discovering the inner potential for singing, voice improvisation as a way of self-expression by music and singing.
3) Consonance – working with vowels; resounding the voice leads to resounding the whole body and the deeper self-awakening

- Since 2007 – cooperating with the Maternity Centre in Prague, workshops for pregnant women (working with voice, proper breating, singing, sounding - as a way to the deeper comunication with the baby) :o))
