The 2025 Choral Colloquium is nearly here! Our final Meet the Clinician profile is Janet Steele - a Feldenkrais practitioner, singer, and voice teacher. She was a founding member of Western Wind Vocal Ensemble, and she is the editor of A Modern Guide to Old World Singing, by David L. Jones.

The Feldenkrais Method is a gentle, mind-body practice that uses movement and focused attention to increase body awareness, improve function, and enhance well-being. Developed by Moshe Feldenkrais, an engineer and physicist, the method helps individuals identify and release rigid or habitual movement patterns by exploring new, more efficient ways of moving.

This interactive workshop will feature several short Feldenkrais lessons, and ideas for using Feldenkrais lessons as part of rehearsal warm-ups. A resource list will be provided to enable future use with your choral music practice.

Registrations are open now at https://www.newyorkchoralconsortium.org/. Don't miss this fantastic morning of learning, collaboration, and networking! 🎓
