Description
Hello and welcome! I’m Rowan Hartsuiker, and I’m thrilled to share my passion for Mongolian and Tuvan throat singing with you in this unique course. My journey into throat singing started back in 2006 when I was just 17 years old, and now, many years later, I’m excited to finally offer this course to help you explore the fascinating world of throat singing. Living on a farm in the Netherlands with my wife and children, we’ve dedicated ourselves to sharing Mongolian culture with others, and this course is a big part of that mission.
In this course, you’ll learn about the art of throat singing, a vocal tradition that has captivated people around the world. While throat singing may sound strange at first, it’s an incredibly powerful and beautiful art form that connects to deep cultural roots, especially in Mongolia and Tuva. I’ve spent years learning about and practicing Mongolian and Tuvan throat singing, and I’ll guide you through the techniques and methods behind it.
You’ll also hear me discuss some differences between Mongolian and Tuvan throat singing. Through this course, I aim to share the essence of throat singing—not just as a technique, but as a vital part of the musical culture of these regions.
I’ve put my heart and soul into this course, and I hope you’ll find it as inspiring and transformative as I have. Let’s begin this exciting journey together!
