Description
Increasing numbers of people are finding themselves drawn to the ethereal and intriguing sounds that have travelled into Europe and America, primarily from Mongolia and Tuva in the former Soviet Union. Most recently popularised in the West by the touring musicians Huun Huur Tu, Yat Kha, and Sainkho Namatchlyak this fascinating style of singing allows the simultaneous production of two or more notes by the same singer. This astounding feat is accomplished by deliberate enhancement of the natural harmonics found in our voices. The voice, mouth, lips, teeth, jaw, throat, tongue, lungs and diaphragm can all be used in a subtle and complex concert that will allow you to produce these wonderful sounds.
Overtone and throat singing can be safely and easily learnt by men and women of all ages.
A few simple exercises will quickly unlock the wonderful healing and meditational qualities of these unique sounds.
These techniques:
·Need no prior experience and no musical ‘ability’
·Can allow musical expression free from judgment
·Can allow singer and listener alike to enter deep states of meditative calm and connectedness to their higher selves
·Can release energy blockages and balance the energies of the chakras
·Can facilitate personal journeying and transformation
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who has ever wanted to overtone or throat sing
- Anyone fascinated by Mongolian or Tuvan musicians singing voices
- Those wishing to use overtone singing for healing or therapy
- Anyone who wants to use their singing voice but has been told they cannot sing!

Hello - my name is Jonny Cope but everyone calls me 'The Didgeridoo Man'.
I have been playing didgeridoo professionally for over twenty years, am the author of a best-selling range of tuition materials and have taught thousands of people, young and old, to play the didgeridoo. My tuition method has been published as a book since 1999, a cassette (if anyone remembers those!), a CD, and a DVD in 2007. These have been distributed the world over and reached and helped tens of thousand of people.
I also use and teach a variety of other instruments and techniques: Overtone singing, Throat singing (also known as Khoomei), the Jews Harp, ethnic winds and flutes, small percussion, etc.
I have published book & CD tuition methods on Khoomei / overtone singing and playing the Jews Harp.
Students taking my course may contact me via the forum on each course with questions or comments and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can.
Having studied with several well-known international players and Australian Aboriginal Elders, I have been teaching all levels of this increasingly popular instrument for the past fifteen years via international workshops, 1-2-1 lessons and even Skype webcam.
I have given performances and presented workshops at music festivals and events, corporate team building days, charity balls, weddings and family fun days throughout Europe. I also regularly teach in UK schools via my educational program.
My clients include many blue-chip companies, schools, education authorities and charities, not to mention a few famous folks (no I can't drop any names!).
My Youtube channel has had nearly 3 million views with 3 thousand subscribers.
Basically I've taught so many people with my methods that I'm pretty darn confident that I can help YOU too!
So confident that I'm offering a 30 day money-back gaurentee with Udemy.
Take the course and if you feel it is genuinely not helping then you can easily just stop and get a full refund.
So go ahead and dive into a course that will take you on a wonderful journey of discovery with this amazing and under-rated instrument and wow your friends with your amazing new skills!
Best wishes,
Jonny Cope.
