Sound Sculputing is an opportunity to design a life of vitatlity through music. It is a new way of aproaching in the moment compestion, and vocal collaboration. This workshop will include things like rythm in body percussion, movement, vocal technique, overtone singing, beatbox basics, and ensemble singing. 

April grew up discovering what kinds of sounds she could make with her voice. She sang in churches, choirs, and Jazz bands. She began studying and playing West African, and Latin drums in 1997, and has taught since 1998. A few years later She sang at Capilano College in the Vocal Jazz program. Since 2012 she sings and drums in a Kirtan band, makes music for yoga classes, and improvises music for regular dance events at Omtown yoga studio in downtown Nanaimo. For the past three years, she has been exploring the limitlessness of musical improvisation, and has been studying with Rhiannon of rhiannonmusic.com, and David Hatfield in Vancouver. She has been playing african and latin drums since 1997, and is influenced by folk, african, indian, reggae, jazz, latin, and electronic music.
