The Power of Emotion Centered Singing
Where the 'Singer' evolves into the 'Artist' like Picasso or Michaelangelo except in the musical sense. This is the power of Emotion Centered Singing...The power to unleash the kind of genius that has produced artists of the calibre of Jeff Buckley, Norah Jones, Elvis Presley and Eva Cassidy.David Jaanz, Founder

The healing and restorative power of Emotion Centred Singing
Many students describe a one hour class of emotion centred singing as the "best one hour of their week". Our unique way of coaching not only works on great technique or what I call the "outer singer" but also pioneering work on the "inner singer" "the heart ,soul ,mind and psyche of each individual.
This single area is where the superstars and champions of this world are made or broken. It is also the area that makes our approach to singing the best in the world and helps us turn ordinary into extrodinary"mediocre into magical". .I have also noticed the supernatural healing and restorative powers Emotion Centred Singing has on the individual. Over the years I have seen individuals overcome various diseases , anxiety ,depression ,fear ,chronic fatigue, low self belief and other crippling diseases.
Why Emotion Centred Singing
Emotion Centred Singing in its truly unique approach through the use of exercises such as zoning ,the s-curve exercises and the MNS-musical navigation system has the effect of "box breaking" "freeing the individual creatively, emotionally, physically, building confidence and self belief. My belief is that most individuals are in some way or another" boxed in". Most people are in various degrees creatively ,emotionally and physically boxed in as a result of years of negative experiences ,the negative world we live in and the pressure to "fit in " and "conform". The combined pressure of "negativity " and "conformity" forces the individual to withdraw into an invisible but real box, wear an invisible mask daily and deny ones self.
I truly believe that this is the root cause of many diseases .
"The rejection of self in an effort to fit in and be loved in a predominantly negative ,brutally tough world that has no hesitation in "kicking you in the guts " if you don"t fit the worlds criteria of whats acceptable and normal." The rejection of self causes us to wear different" masks " in different situations to fit in and survive. The world system has the effect of conditioning us to think the same act the same and have the same goal-more money and toys. The carrot at the end of the journey is "love" and "acceptance "by the world but only if we are good boys and girls and play the game. The winner is the individual who has most toys and money. It is never enough. The world promises so much but delivers so little , many that get there still have that sense of "unfulfillment" and a sense of "emptiness " as revealed by the lives of the stars in the tabloids of countless drug addictions ,eating disorders, mental illness, split marriages and broken lives. Very few are truly happy even after getting all the toys ,fame ,love ,adulation and money! Many have lost themselves in order to play the game and make it. They have "got the whole world" but lost themselves through years of denying self ,wearing masks and fitting in.
Perhaps the greatest journey and purpose in life is one of self discovery in a world that is moving at a furious pace and pressure. Maybe the answer is to stop ,think ,evaluate ,question and ask the question "why am I here " . The area of zoning in emotion centred singing explores self . Emotion centred singing contends that an individuals "uniqueness " "differences " and "natural gifts" are quite often his power source and the key to greatness and purpose in life. However most people are conditioned to reject their uniqueness, differences and spend their lives copying, imitating and trying to be like the rich , beautiful and famous as portrayed by the world. They are conditioned to see differences as "bad" and try to iron out flaws and kinks by perceived world standards. However it is usually the flaws and kinks they deny that is the key to greatness and self discovery/stardom.
Over time this continual denial of self causes a shut down of an individuals creativity ,emotions ,physical expression and most importantly self belief. This is where the individual eventually loses all concept of who he or she is .They " lose themselves "somewhere through years of pretence ,wearing masks ,denying self to survive in this cruel world of winners and losers, the battle of the fittest "
My belief is that most disease and sickness is caused by a root blockage of some sort whether it be creatively ,emotionally ,physically ,mentally and in varying degrees. Imagine a human being walking around day and night in a box wearing a mask. . Would she/ he not eventually get sick . I am also am of the belief that the single greatest cause of disease in the world today is human blockage as described above.
The great news is that Emotion Centred Singing has the supernatural power to not only develop awesome singing technique but to heal, restore and an put you back on the road to self discovery and finding "you".
My firm opinion is the key to long term health happiness and well being is "searching and restoring " of self, breaking the box of suppression and oppression and opening up creatively , emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally. These will be the true "stars of tomorrow" the ones that can find themselves in a very confusing world and judge their success by their own standards and values and not the worlds.
This is the power ,beauty and majesty of emotion centred singing .
I also believe everyone can sing ,was born to sing and should sing. It may not be perfect "in the worlds eyes" but a course in emotion centred singing may be the key to your healing and miracle you have been waiting for !
