workshop offerings:

This workshop is open to all singers who have solid musical skills, good pitch and rhythm and want to expand their vocal and improvisational experience. Rhiannon brings new singers into the world of improvisation using Circle Singing as the musical foundation. Circle Singing is a participatory ritual in which singers gather in a circle with a conductor in the center. Four improvised  patterns are changed and shifted by the conductor so that the singing continues for long stretches, creating a rich, deep and joyful experience. We will also find our unique and personal sound, working alone, in pairs, and in ensemble as we meld intuition and invention with skill and heart.

As a master teacher for more than 40 years, Rhiannon is in a category by herself, exploring the skill and spirit of improvisation. Her expertise lies with the connection between body and voice, teaching the invention of melody, harmony, rhythm, language, and story while guiding the singer towards the heart and soul of their musical self.   QUOTES    BIO

 Rhiannon is incredibly brilliant and fun. I trust her musical instincts completely.  A fellow graduate of MSU (Making Stuff Up) and a member of Voicestra since the beginning, she's one of my very favorite people to improvise with... Delve in deeply!
Bobby McFerrin 

Rhiannon, the grand sorcerer, lures all whom she meets, her collaborators, I being one, her students, and her audiences, into the mysteries of her enchanted world of song.    
Ruth Zaporah, Action Theater

A fabled underground figure in vocal jazz, Rhiannon turns improvisation into performance art... With a soft, supple voice and a range that climbs to the sky, she shows what heights jazz singing can reach when it combines disciplined musicianship with utter fearlessness.
James Gavin, Time Out New York

... Rhiannon is a LIGHTNING BOLT. The charge is continuous, illuminating and revitalizing.
