This workshop is part of a 4-part series.
For a limited time, get 4 workshops for the price of 3.
In this workshop you will learn how the most extraordinary musicians and athletes breathe for healthy function and performance.
Dynamic support both facilitates optimal functioning and serves as a catalyst for excellence and artistry.
Using a synthesis of the Alexander Technique, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization principles, optimal acoustics, exquisite singing technique, and artistry, we will be soaring into principles of aerodynamics, the recoil of the respiratory mechanism, the diaphragms of the body, functional intra-abdominal pressure and how it relates to respiration in singing, and the emergent tonus of the abdominal wall.
Of all the workshops I offer, this is the most foundational.
There are many incorrect or incomplete ideas about breathing and initiating sound. This workshop will clear up antiquated strategies and replace them with accurate, comprehensive information that we will work with in principle and practice.
In addition to sustained, responsive breathing for singing, speaking, and playing, you will learn how these principles apply to dance, stage blocking, and fitness.
When you complete this workshop you will truly understand dynamic, responsive support and how to cultivate the conditions for seamless phrasing. You will have a lived experience of how your body is truly designed to support your singing and movement.
It is fully my intention that this workshop will change your life.
Do not miss it.

“The Molgato workshop in particular is so rich in fundamentals, it feels like a realignment from the inside out in the gentlest, but most effective way. The amount of information presented is both staggering and deeply helpful, and is immediately applicable in the coaching component. This type of intensely researched, accurate, and performer-specific information just isn’t offered anywhere else I know about with such ease and frank joy.”
