Libana CDs
Links to songs she led tonight:
1) Another World (with its companion song All Shall Be Well) (music by Ana Hernandez, words of All Shall Be Well by Julian of Norwich, words of Another World by Arundhati Roy):  Here is the recording where the two songs are sung  simultaneously   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS0zew_5EIA
2)  Come, Come, Whoever You Are (written by Dale Zola) This link just has it as a solo song with instrumental accompaniment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uAXchOwpyQ This link you can hear it as a round (even though the group singing it is learning it in a workshop): https://youtu.be/6uAXchOwpyQ?t=132
3) All I Know is Love (music by  me, words by Persian Sufi Mystical poet Hafiz) It is track #12 on https://rebekkagoldsmith.bandcamp.com/album/seeding-the-tree. It is a less rhythmic version (and more improvised version) than how she taught to me . . .
4) Deep Peace (music by Bill Douglas, words are an ancient Gaelic blessing) recorded by Libana on our Night Passage CD:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PvDruDZ6pg&list=RD9PvDruDZ6pg&start_radio=1&t=1
5) Circle Chant (music and words by Linda Hirschhorn)    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahg8ZqrJ-rM

Testimonials

“Heather Houston is the Voice Whisperer. Yes, Heather’s teaching/coaching brings out our best voice and creates an arena where we can have fun singing. Heather invites you to discover your voice, how to nurture the parts of your body that create your unique sound, and learn ways to access your breath to allow your beautiful voice to flow. As my voice gets exercised and stronger, and feelings are awakened and honored, I’ve learned that singing can be healing, nurturing, and therapeutic. In these unprecedented, uncertain times, singing has been a way to come together as a community, as well as heal myself and the world.”

– Vicki Wynne, Santa Cruz, CA

“Heather’s song leader training changed my life! I was searching for a substantial way to help others through music and to make a living at it. Heather helped me to get my own women’s circle going through fantastic repertoire, leadership tips and techniques, mentorship, and business coaching. My first intro night had 32 women. My first circle had 18 registrants!”

– Zoey Wren, Nelson, BC

“I must say, I have been taking private singing lessons for several weeks and I have gotten TONS more out of a single lesson in this Art of Mindful Singing course than I have through all my weeks of private lessons! I would sincerely love to just continue learning with you online however that may be possible!”

– Anonymous

“I feel very blessed to have participated in the Art of Mindful Singing Online Class. I learned many tips, songs and postural techniques that taught me to embody singing and  will serve me throughout the rest of my singing life.  I practice many of her techniques every day.  My soul was nourished and I left feeling so open and giving of exactly that energy into the world.  I love singing, and now never worry that I am good enough, because I sing from the inside out. Thank you from my deepest being.

– Jackie, Madison, WI

“I was a part of Heather’s online Spring Session of The Art of Mindful Singing. It happened to coincide with the  time of shelter in place orders for Covid-19. Heather’s guidance in singing became my place of self care and grounding during a transitional time of great unknowns. I felt refreshed and protected by her calm, encouraging presence. The songs themselves became a meaningful shelter during the week when fear or stress would arise. I always felt that singing could be both a spiritual and deep somatic healing practice and longed for a teacher to guide me into the art with this as a focus. Heather’s approach supports this in spades. I’m so grateful.”

– Kathleen Cook

“I love Heather and the delightful, positive, encouraging manner in which she teaches. I love her voice and the light in her eyes. I loved the songs she taught from all over the world – uplifting songs, songs of welcome, spiritual songs. And she never put anyone on the spot.”

– Jayla, Santa Cruz, CA

“I love how Heather encourages women to sing and share their light. I love how excited she gets when we sing. There is such an appreciation and love that her energy surrounds us with, and it helps everyone feel safe.”

– Adora, Santa Cruz, CA

“I needed a versatile vocalist to headline my children’s music album. Heather exceeded my expectations in every way, sounding absolutely incredible on tracks ranging from Country Western, Calypso, Celtic, and Rock. Not only did she manage the entire project, bringing together a fantastic recording and studio crew, she even contributed her own original song to the mix.”

– Drew Freeman, Santa Cruz

“I started taking voice lessons with Heather because I thought it was time to get over my fears. With Heather’s instruction, I have already far exceeded my own expectations. I am finally experiencing the joy of singing! That’s me who you see driving around town singing – with a smile on my face, and in my heart!”

– Ted, Santa Cruz, CA

“I would like to tell you how much I enjoy your “Dis Moi” vocal music. Now I will tell you. Hold on -here it comes! “I REALLY LOVE IT!” THANK YOU SOOO VERY VERY MUCH! Your voices are so ethereal, other worldly and out right divine!”

– Ingela Sakkestad

“It’s been great to have such a safe and fun place to start to learn about how to hear my voice and mingle it with others. Heather is a total inspiration of how beautiful and full of emotional voice can sound and I am further drawn toward that journey. Thank you!”

– Katlin, Soquel, CA
