Singing in protest is universally recognized as one of the most impactful forms of peaceful protest. Ever since we have had songs we have had work songs, love songs, grieving songs and protest songs. This short episode is a dip into the water of Protest Singing with special gratitude to the people behind the Singing Resistance movement in Minnesota and all those who have gone before them. It also offers some practical guidance on how to keep your voice safe while you're singing for extended periods and in extreme weather.

Thank you for listening! Please share with your protesting friends and family! 🙏🏻🎶🎤

Jonathon Heather has studied Alexander Technique with global mentors and alongside some of the world's top performing musicians. A life long musician, artist and long distance cyclist, he has a deep love of sharing this work so that others can unlock their natural potential .

He says "So far I'm the only trans AT practitioner I know!"

"I draw daily on the Alexander Technique as my fount of physical and emotional well-being.

I love this work and am happy to have the opportunity to share the inspiration of it as I teach.

There is a spacious beauty and a peacefulness (as well as so many practical benefits) that is hard to define, but which for me, is at the core of learning the Technique."

This episode will benefit singers, actors, voice over artists, musicians and anyone who wants to have a deeper, more fluid connection with their body, their instrument for expression.
