September 13th, 2023 - 5:30 pm, runs for 6 weeks. Meets weekly on Wednesdays from 5:00 – 6:30pm
SYSA! I ~ is designed for singers of every vocal level who are interested in exploring vocal improvisation within the comfort of a creative and safe environment. Learning to improvise can be a journey of self discovery. Together we will unite our voices as instruments, creating spontaneous a cappella music. Musical forms such as call & response, hocketing, harmony & spoken word will enhance our songs as we pay special attention to our use of rhythm. Attentive listening and collaborative exercises will free your voice!
For over 18 years, I’ve studied with Rhiannon who continues to perform and teach alongside Bobby McFerrin.
Rhiannon’s book, Vocal River, will be referenced often as I teach this class.
The next intermediate level of SYSA! II ~ will host Bobby McFerrin’s Circle Singing techniques. Please join us!

SYSA! II ~ will include both Vocal Improvisation and CircleSinging. Circle Singing is based on the musical influences of Bobby McFerrin and his Voicestra. Layered improvised parts draw from call and response, hocketing, vocal percussion, storytelling and free spirit improvisation. These incredibly complex pieces are composed on the spot! This class builds upon the exercises taught in the SYSA! I ~ beginners class and will include soloing and directing.
Debby is the area’s best-known Circle Singing teacher and Circle facilitator, according to the Seattle Times. After having worked with Bobby McFerrin, she regularly leads participants into the most beautiful music of their lives. We find our way into the music through collaboration and careful listening. By creating a safe environment for singers on every level we are able to come into a unity that nourishes our Souls.
We will SING YOUR SOUL ALIVE! I hope to see you there!
