In this article I look at aspects of how Giving Voice differs from singing in a choir, even a virtual choir.

In this time of the global pandemic, there is a lot of fear and anxiousness around. Fear for ourselves and our loved ones. Fear of the unknown.

Here Jill Rakusen, founder of Giving Voice, reveals aspects of what this approach offers, including in daily life, and particularly when isolated.

My name is Rachel Healey. I teach Giving Voice and have been practising it in my own life since 1998. This is my first blog. In this article, I’ve written a bit about myself and about my relationship with Giving Voice, how I became a teacher, and how I use it in my own life.

Here’s what I experienced...
