Goals/Mission
Improvisation and Core Sounding™ are a central focus of hers in this apprenticeship, and she is fascinated by the ways that intersubjectivity, co-creation, desire, and aliveness manifest in both musical and healing spaces. She is also deeply interested in investigating embodiment, relationality, and space holding from a holistic vocal pedagogy perspective.
Alysa Ain is a musician and psychotherapist based in Washington, DC, dedicated to exploring the path to freer and freer singing as a way to individual and collective truth and wholeness.
Improvisation and Core Sounding™ are a central focus of hers in this apprenticeship, and she is fascinated by the ways that intersubjectivity, co-creation, desire, and aliveness manifest in both musical and healing spaces. She is also deeply interested in investigating embodiment, relationality, and space holding from a holistic vocal pedagogy perspective.
Alysa holds a Masters in Social Work from NYU and a JD from Harvard Law School; critical theory, particularly in the areas of feminism and race, is a foundational influence on her approach to all of her work, alongside her 13+ years of Buddhist practice and study. A violist by training, her primary musical lineage is Western classical, within which her most beloved spiritual inspiration is the music of JS Bach.

About the Training
This Teacher Training is first of all experiential and practical. But there is also plenty of theory: There are readings, there are teaching videos, discussions about gentle phonation, and breathing. I'm creating specific units on anatomy, breathing, Tantra and sexuality, emotions and Core Sounding™, power dynamics and ethics, music and embodied musical practices, and more.
I strongly believe we need more teachers doing this kind of powerful, transformative healing holistic vocal work. Each teacher brings their own desires, interests, sets of experiences and gifts. Because different students will be drawn to them than are drawn to me, this transformative work will be able to reach people I might never myself connect with.
