Throat Singing Workshop: Mastering Khoomei Techniques

Sing two notes at once!



2 hours Class size 1 to 6 guests       £60

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. Often called Khoomei or throat singing, it allows harmonics to be amplified and heard alongside a sung note or 'drone'.
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.
These lessons will lead you through the whole process in easy-to-follow stages, from beginner to advanced. We will start with an easier Western style before progressing into the Eastern styles.
What you'll get
Learn something amazing even if you are not musical.

Recent reviews of Throat Singing Workshop: Mastering Khoomei Techniques

  • 5/5 from Christopher Rose, attended Feb 2025: Aweome!, I cant wait to start practicing. Thank you very much.
  • 5/5 from Lee, attended Oct 2024: Was a fun session. I am a complete beginner - and this was my first ever music class outside of school. Jonathan was very knowledgable. Hes able to explain the mechanics and answer any questions I had. Ive continued to use the technique and have seen noticeable changes. Would definitely recommend if you are remotely interested or want to learn a new skill.
  • 5/5 from Colin Burrows, attended Feb 2024: Actively illuminating
  • 5/5 from Ewelina Kolaczek, attended Nov 2023: As a complete novice to throat and overtone singing and for someone who is very shy about using their voice in this way, I was extremely nervous. Jonathan made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. It's a great way to start to understand how to go forward to learn this technique...
  • 5/5 from Miguel Dominguez, attended Jun 2023: I've only had one lesson and I didnt know much about Throat singing / Overtone singing. It was very complete and very well structured. To record the lesson was not only permitted but suggested. Different exercises for different type of sounds / type of singing were given. Precaution for the safety and care of the vocal cords were present at all time. Highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Thomas Janak, attended May 2022: Jonathan is an amazing teacher and made me feel at home and at ease straight away, highly recommendable
  • 5/5 from Benjamin Coulston, attended Jul 2021: Myself and two friends drove up from SE Hampshire and attended Jonny's Throat Singing 3-hour class yesterday, and we all left with smiles on our faces and so many positive things to say about the session. Jonny is a talented and natural teacher with a really accommodating, knowledgeable, and friendly approach to his teaching. Myself and my two friends have been practicing a bit of Tuvan/Mongolian throat singing for a couple of months or so with little regular practice, and so Jonny was able to walk us through the very basics (with lots of information and tips), and introduce us to some more advanced techniques. He taught a range of techniques to us and gave us some weird and cool exercises to try which have been really helpful. He made us all feel very welcome, and for three shy people we felt like we could all be ourselves and really give it our best shot. Jonny also made us some lovely herbal tea and sat with us for a while after to talk about the session and where we want to take our skills. Very happy students, thanks Jonny!
  • 5/5 from Francesco Tassi, attended Dec 2019: Jonathan has been really engaging bringing us through the basic at first and allowing us to explore gradually our inner sounds. Very good communication and clear explanations with plenty of demonstrations. He really made us able to follow even without much musical experience. The workshop left us with a good understanding of throath singing and overtones as well as practical working tools and exercises to keep exploring this incredible singing technique. Thanks for teaching us Jonathan! Francesco and EricaAfter a week I know how to produce Overtones (lot of practice while driving) but I am still learning how to produce a scale of sounds. Erica is ahead of me. Any video to help identifying the tongue position to create a scale of overtones?
