Dr. Ev says:

In my experience, self-generated sound opens in me a  profound wellspring of power which can  heal, liberate, express and celebrate body, mind, spirit and emotions.  I love to play and work with folks of all ages who want to discover their own sounds and songs – especially those who’ve been told to “stand in the back and just mouth the words.”

All Programs may be customized.

Participants age ranges, maximum group size, and program durations are guidelines. They can be adjusted.
