The main principles of music - melody, harmony, rhythm - are adjusted according to the specific needs of the patient to soothe pain and anxiety, and regain inner balance. These personalised sessions are an opportunity for the listener to let go, and just be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/436bad79-dcd3-491b-82b1-8128911d65d1/michael-walk-GEpQpMiZIh8-unsplash.jpg Therapeutic Music - Professional Development Private coaching for therapeutic musicianship. From modal improvisation to playing at the bedside, Swan Harp Studios can assist with the many aspects of music education, therapy and professional presentation required of a clinical musician. For seniors, carers and inexperienced musicians interested in therapeutic music, the Reverie Harp is recommended. It combines well with singing and can be used confidently at the bedside and for group music-making. Small group classes are recommended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/1587890307235-EIJ3OQUOOX84EM53HZVJ/3+Workshops.jpg Therapeutic Music - Workshops Live and online workshops for all levels of ability.

Lessons provide students with the tools to achieve personal vocal goals and experience the joy of singing. Private lessons assist students to grow their own repertoire of music they love, improve pitch and expand vocal range. Sessions also address vocal nuances such as vocal quality, connected sound (consistency of tone with no apparent breaks), agility and developing the student’s flexibility to sing wherever the emotion of the song takes them. Depending on the student’s needs and goals, classes are designed accordingly and are available on a weekly, fortnightly or intermittent schedule. Group singing classes explore various musical styles such as early music, classical, contemporary, folk, gospel, chant, therapeutic and world music. Sessions are tailored for the group as needed. Often we begin by warming up the body and the voice, and close with guided improvisation to leave us feeling refreshed and inspired. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/48350b6e-da5c-4df0-ac90-52a183afe0c9/heidi-yanulis-jcy3CeU262o-unsplash.jpg Music Tuition - Harp With the simplest plucking of harp strings, resonance builds around the harpist like a cradle of sound. From your very first lessons, playing harp has a calming, peaceful and uplifting effect. Swan Harp Studios makes harp playing a joy, integrating mindful movement with traditional Salzedo harp technique, suitable for teens and adults. Classes can also be tailored for students’ specific needs on pedal and lever harp, lap harp, double strung harp, Reverie harp and lyre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/44a5ec3f-5a2f-49e7-b5df-9555d4f3d8e1/pexels-marta-wave-6437823.jpg Music Tuition - Piano Simply Music is an entry-level, Australian-developed piano and keyboard program that offers a breakthrough in music education. This unique method has children, teens, adults and seniors improvising and playing great sounding classical, contemporary, blues and accompaniment pieces – immediately – from their very first lessons. In stark contrast to traditional methods that require students to learn music-reading as the means of learning to play, Simply Music teachers temporarily delay music-reading and introduce a revolutionary, “playing-based” methodology. This unique approach integrates body and mind, is fun, and builds confidence. Learning piano with Simply Music means students immerse in the experience of playing a wide variety of repertoire before music reading is introduced. I combine my traditional training with the Simply Music method and learning strategies to guide students at all levels of age and ability. https://swanharp.studio/bio daily 0.75 2023-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/1587694691786-15LXFTX04UYSLRLQDQ2L/Bio_1.jpeg Bio My name is Shamara de Tissera, and I have loved to sing since childhood. From playing French Horn in the West Australian Youth Orchestra to gigging on Tabla in Indian restaurants, I have pursued a lifelong love of music. As president of The Harp Society of Western Australia, I collaborate with colleagues to cultivate the re-emerging fields of Therapeutic Harp as well as Therapeutic Singing: supporting musicians and non-musicians, carers and patients to give and receive music for health and well-being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/1588511538328-W8VO6H8BC5XFPSEO0YT4/Bio_3.JPG Bio With a Bachelor’s Degree of Music Education from The University of Western Australia, I teach private lessons at Swan Harp Studios (singing, harp and piano) and facilitate groups such as Swan Harp Chorale, Therapeutic Harp Circle, The Reverie Harp Project, as well as “Shamara & Friends” visits to hospitals, retirement villages and aged care homes. I have taught in state and Steiner schools in Western Australia and Victoria, and worked as a therapeutic musician in palliative care at Bethesda Hospital, Claremont. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/1587694731400-SC8G1KF0P3OVSDE3474J/Bio_2.jpg Bio I studied classical singing with Molly McGurk, Sara MacLiver and Seth Riggs (founder of Speech Level Singing, USA). My unique teaching methods have developed from an abiding interest in mindful movement, wholistic Steiner education, years of rigorous training on several instruments and inspiration from Simply Music Piano (AU/USA) and Tonalis Music (UK). https://swanharp.studio/online-set-up daily 0.75 2023-02-16 https://swanharp.studio/home daily 1.0 2023-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/1587363445238-7FYJ24GVPFALFN88Z1KT/1_Singing_Curly+original.jpg Home Singing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/bb145f8d-ca32-4a84-9509-1ed92c92f5a5/pexels-marta-wave-6437559.jpg Home Piano. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/e26eda18-ffe1-4c70-9adc-79a4e4f6b767/sergio-capuzzimati-J4BmtPOVEaY-unsplash.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/1587556118359-S4A2PM05A27DCHU5AWQP/Therap+Music3_Ther+Sessions_Grannie+%27n+cat.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/5ed4f87c-a9df-4806-aeed-c9d405c4e940/pexels-ali-karimiboroujeni-5696674.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/1587556457957-HIU2WZYQK9EG96U39SFE/Therap+Music1_Workshops_Harp+Harmonies.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/1587361295248-8WIGCY99Y5Q8P7RWHUET/Rolling+Images1_Harp+Harmonies.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/1587361322856-WM1H4DMYQGAJQQLIGUNA/Rolling+Images2_Gina+sings.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e954c1900d6b67c32ecb4c4/157274c0-bc3c-4e13-ac4a-ec47a9421ba9/pexels-yan-krukov-8520441.jpg Home https://swanharp.studio/contact daily 0.75 2023-02-16
