A note from Rhiannon,

So very happy and proud to present to you all this Vocal River Video Library.
It began with a desire to show examples of each of the many Vocal River forms with an intimate ensemble.
We gathered at the farm in Hawaii, Ha Lau Leo Nani, in December 2024, as the obvious home of this work and a generous environment to explore improvisation and how it leads to community and vocal innovation.
Plus every day at the end Soraya, who led the video team, convinced me to talk about the forms and any related ideas that came to me as I sat on my piano bench. She often asked me a leading question and off I went. These turn out to be highlights of the videos and a chance for me to speak freely about this work I have devoted my life to.
Every form cracked us open further. I hope you will see, hear and feel the power of 
Vocal River, the curriculum and way of life. 
Twenty four videos and now I know there are likely to be more as it was such a dream come true to see each one sung so powerfully and whenever mistakes arose, we embraced them so you can see how it really works. This is not about perfection but the process of group led, spirit driven, spontaneous musical excellence.

We are delighted to announce a NEW
video library to support  Rhiannon's VOCAL RIVER book and exercise cards.

You will not download the videos, but you can view them as many times as you would like, 
for as long as you would like.

The cost is $250.00 and includes all the videos 
PLUS regular zoom conversations with Rhiannon

 Even though I have studied with Rhiannon for 25+ years, I am still learning as I watch these new videos. They are visually beautiful and rich in content. Rhiannon's comments and descriptions deepen the meaning of the exercises. The singers are skilled and so interesting. I have a feeling of being home and at ease as I watch and wonder about the questions posed. Delightful!   ~ Celeste Niehaus

I am loving the videos!  They are so incredibly helpful for deepening into the facilitation of vocal improvisation 
~ Carol Marie Downing

I’m slowly making my way through the video library and enjoying them very much - the immediacy of the improvisational work is inspiring and palpable!  ~ Carrie MacLeod
