PLACE
Canjune Training Center
4F, #3 , Lane 151, Fuxing S Rd. Sec. 2.

The CanJune Training Center is a 10 minute walk from MRT Technology Building, and 12 minutes from MRT Daan.

Throat singing is the unique art to sing with two notes at the same time, practised by various peoples around the Sayan-Altai mountains in Siberia and Mongolia. Tuva is considered to be a very powerful center for this vocal art, which they call khöömei. Not only the music exceptional, everything about Tuva is breathtaking. This workshop gives you details about the trip we are offering to visit this unknown republic (first meeting) and then two more evenings to get started (or move on) with throat singing skills. Mark has been practising khöömei from many places since around 1990.

The throat singing workshops are for all levels: we’ll have basics as well as advanced exercises, depending on students’ needs. We will cover khöömei and sygyt styles mostly, and kargyraa and advanced techniques when there is a demand.

The first night will be devoted to various aspects of Tuvan music, nature and culture, and is particularly aimed at people who consider to join the Tuvan Tour in August, or those with a deep interest in Tuva. The two other nights there will also be more contextual information about the role of music and sound within Tuvan culture, between the exercises.

Rough time schedule:
19:00-20:15, PART I Introduction with slides, sounds, videos; Workshops with first exercises.
20:15-20:30 short break
20:30-21:15 PART II. Introduction more interactive (throat singing, Q&A); Workshops with more exercises.
