Harmonic overtoning allows one to produce two or more pitches simultaneously from a single voice. It is related to throat singing originating in central Asia. Kiva has been teaching this technique for 19 years to hundreds of students, including the following venues:
Kiva was the only female foreigner invited to perform at the
KIEKU Throat Singing Festival, Helsinki, Finland
Worlds of Music School, Toronto, ON
World Sound Ecology Seminar, Halliburton, ON
Manitoba Legislature, Winnipeg, MB
Trent University, Peterborough, ON
University of Guelph, Guelph, ON
Womyn in Spirituality Edmonton (WISE), Edmonton, AB
International Symposium of Throat Singing in Tuva, Russia, '95
She appeared as a judge in the documentary 'Genghis Blues'.
Benefits of Harmonic Overtoning:
- Acquiring a new tool for vocal expression and improvisation
- Increasing breath capacity
- Opening up a wider palette of tonal color
- Developing the inner ear for a more focused bodily awareness
- Deepening brain wave states, similar to effects of meditation
- Increasing concentration levels
The course contains enough information to keep one
occupied for years. The class structure follows a logical
progression, adding elements until you are singing two pitches at
once. Then, variations and exercises are introduced for future
development as one gains control through practice. For example,
rapid counterpoint and harmonic yodeling. The ability
to identify simple intervals is an asset.
