Read MoreEND OF YEAR GRATITUDE & SOIRÉE 2023
Dear Students and Friends,
This year was the biggest Soirèe to date, with 24 outstanding performers willing to share! It inspired me to want to create more opportunities for us to gather in this way in 2024. There is much aliveness in the Sound Weaving Community, and I wish many students could meet each other and perform more often. Let me know if this is something you would like to happen.

LES THOMAS “ALL MY FRIENDS ARE SUPERSTARS” ALBUM LAUNCH
Singer-songwriter Les Thomas has been focusing on singing lessons with Jacinta for almost a year now. Though he loves singing, writing, recording and performing, he’s struggled with loving and appreciating his own voice or feeling like it’s “up to scratch”. Being surrounded by highly accomplished singers in Melbourne’s live music scene naturally leads to comparisons. It’s raised a lot of questions for Les about what’s his potential, his authentic voice and how to approach songs in the best way to communicate the stories and emotions.

Read MoreMUSIC THEORY: THE MINOR SCALE, PART 2
What is a Scale?
A scale is a pattern of notes that create a certain feeling and atmosphere. Most music, songs and melodies are built from the notes of a scale. In western music, we use the Major and Minor scales to compose and create music; in jazz music, modes are also common.

The winds are blowing internally strong at this time of transition and transformation. Whatever you may be meeting, may you hold yourself with tender arms and care; as the leaves fall away, the tree meets the nakedness of its being. Still, strong, breathing, rooted in connectedness.

This year has started at a blistering pace! Sophia Tuv and I combined our wisdom to bring the Wild Voice workshops and Devotional Song Circles to life. We held a one-day workshop in Castlemaine in January, and two days in Warranwood, in February. They both offered a spaciously sublime, inspiring and nourishing experience for all who attended. We will build on these offerings and hold workshops and circles later this year and early next year.
