Online Singing Villages & Other Offerings

Vocal Improvisation skills and community around the globe

Over the past  years, online vocal improvisation has evolved from a necessity into a vibrant new pedagogy and resource base. 

Singing online not only helps develop musical skills in a safe space, but it also enhances listening capacities, sparks imagination, and fosters a sense of connection across virtual platforms. This unique format allows groups to practice simultaneously without the challenge of overlapping voices and lets participants decide when and how to share their contributions.

Working online has uncovered a treasure trove of possibilities for remote learning and maintaining regular global connections. We have explored different interactions—such as singing while muted, practicing in small teams or larger groups, and using technology like looping devices and shared recordings—to create collaborative pieces and generate shared ‘homework’ outside the sessions. 

Navigating the challenges and advantages of singing online has broadened everyone’s creativity and tools, deepening our musical expression and capacity for connection, even through a screen.

Offerings

Singing Villages Online

Regular sessions for intermediate and advanced vocal improvisers around the world. Build and refine your personal practice, connect online and exchange music and ideas.

Singing Villages Online are cycles of 1‑hour sessions—held weekly or every two weeks—for stable groups of up to eight singers from around the world. In each session, I share my discoveries and a variety of tools for both solo and ensemble practice. Participants receive exercises, ideas for personal practice, and encouragement for duo and small group improvisations, alongside individual feedback.

Singers can comfortably practice from home while listening to and learning from their peers. The sessions cover precise techniques in rhythm, melody, and harmony, as well as open invitations to explore intuitively and collaborate freely. This blend of personal practice and group experimentation creates a rich environment for growth as an improviser and international encounters with other vocal improvisers.

1-2-1 Online Coaching

Online individual bespoke mentoring, voice and
vocal improvisation coaching.

My work as a vocal mentor is personalized and holistic, addressing physical, emotional, and mental aspects of singing. After years of teaching vocal technique and repertoire, I'm now focused on helping individuals explore their unique voice, particularly through spontaneous music- making and vocal improvisation.

I’m passionate about nurturing creative, intuitive, and body-centered approaches that allow singers to explore the many potentials of the human voice and connect with their core sound and musicality, fostering self-expression, free vocal play, and self-discovery.

I mainly work with singers and musicians interested in vocal improvisation, supporting soloists and group leaders in educational, therapeutic, or ceremonial settings. Each one-on-one session is a dialogue where students guide the work, exploring both their own ideas and my suggestions.

Together, we uncover and transform (sometimes this requires ‘unlearning’) what gets in the way of free, easeful singing, unlocking creativity in the process. Through songs, vocal exercises, and improvisation, we build new awareness and enhance musical and expressive potential.

I aim to create a space where each student feels heard, supported, and encouraged, helping them grow in alignment with their essence. Sessions become a fertile ground for self-discovery, transformation, and skill development, whether for beginners or seasoned professionals seeking fresh perspectives.

Online Group Coaching

Feedback, toolkits and ideas, for small vocal improvisation ensembles.

I have been working remotely since the pandemic to support practice groups of vocal improvisers and established vocal ensembles. This modality of online coaching allows groups to join from anywhere in the world, using Zoom or a similar interface. I will witness their session, have a window into the vocal ensemble or group rehearsal and improvisational practice and offer in the moment and written ideas, feedback and new perspectives.

'Guillermo’s approach to teaching vocal improvisation transcends traditional methods, blending musicianship with a sense of spirituality, deep listening, and community. His unique way fosters a space where expression and skill intertwine, creating an environment that is as nurturing as it is challenging. What sets Guillermo apart is his ability to hold space with grace and empathy. He encourages each of us to explore our voices in ways that feel both safe and exhilarating.

'Online sessions with Guillermo are at the same time great fun and a deep learning process. His mastership in approaching vocal improvisation and musicianship from many points of view has enabled me to understand and practice certain aspects of vocal improv on a deeper level. Guillermo’s warm and empathic approach feels very supportive and creative. Highly recommended for the self-taught musician as well as for trained ones!'
