Musical Mother Tongue Course (Beginner and Intermediate)
8 sessions of ear training and music theory — grounded in the Kodály method, built through singing, improvisation, and composition.
Sessions: 8
Investment: $150 / session
Can be taken as a standalone package or alongside either voice offering.
By the end, you'll be familiar with:
Hearing and singing intervals, scales, and simple melodies by ear — without needing an instrument to guide you
Solfège as a practical tool for internalizing music, not just labeling it
How rhythm lives in the body — feeling meter and pulse, not just counting it
The building blocks of Western harmony: how chords are constructed and how they move
Improvising simple melodies over a harmonic framework
The beginnings of composition — shaping a musical idea from feeling into form
Reading music with more confidence — or a felt sense of why notation works the way it does
Your own musical instincts — as something real and worth trusting!
Instead of approaching music theory like a set of rules, I teach it as something you can feel into. We listen, we notice patterns, we start to recognize the shape of things—why a melody lands the way it does, why a chord change hits the way it does.
It’s less about getting the “right answer” and more about building familiarity. We’re building our musical mother tongue.
This course is for you if want to understand music from the inside — not just play or sing it, but think and feel in it. No prior theory knowledge needed. (Both beginner and intermediate levels offered)

These sessions move at the pace of your body.
There’s space to pause, to notice, to follow sensation without needing to explain it right away. Sometimes there are words, sometimes there aren’t. Both are welcome.
I’ll be there with you, tracking what’s happening in real time—breath shifting, tension easing, something small beginning to move.
It’s subtle work, but it can open a lot.
Over time, it builds a kind of trust—not just in the process, but in yourself. In your own signals, your own timing, your own way through.

FAQs
-
Not at all. Some people come in with a lot of experience, some haven’t sung in years, but some don’t even think of themselves as singers! If you’ve heard that inner voice and chosen to follow it here, that’s enough. 🦋
-
We still work with technique, but I don’t approach the voice as something to fix or perfect. We pay attention to breath, tension, and sensation, and let the voice organize from there. It tends to feel more easeful and less forced.
-
It’s slower and more open-ended. We might track your breath, notice sensations, or stay with something that’s coming up in your body. There’s no set script, and you don’t need to have words for what you’re feeling.
-
No. You’re always in control of what you share. The work doesn’t rely on telling your story—it’s more about what’s happening in the present moment, in your body.
-
Very grounded and practical. We focus on listening first—recognizing patterns, intervals, and relationships—so that theory actually connects to your experience of music.
-
This work can be deeply supportive and therapeutic, but it’s not a replacement for licensed psychotherapy. If you’re looking for clinical mental health care, I’m happy to help you find the right support alongside or in addition to this work.
