Throatsinger Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hey, I assume that there are other teachers of sorts hanging around here. Anyone else doing online lessons? I've been doing a series of throat-singing lessons, and getting a great response... nice way to make a few bucks ($25/lesson) and reach more people. Of course, the fact that I have no competition at all helps, but if yer a teacher, and the first to try this, you won't either! I prepare lessons that are a combo of text and QT videos, and people dig 'em. I have lots o' cheap server space, so that's no problem. After getting some requests, I'm about to start testing real-time video lessons. Should be interesting.

Throatsinger Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hey Wewus, Throat-singing, or Khoomei, is a central-Asian vocal art in which a singer uses special techniques to sing 2 or more notes simultaneously. Some low (I can sing down below 40 hz) chordal stuff, others like a flute over a drone. See my website, http://khoomei.com for more than you ever wanted to know. It's very cool stuff!

F7sound - Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Steve, Sounds like you've got a real nice thing going. From what I've heard of it, "throat-singing" is very difficult, and not well known. Singing 2 notes at a time may seem shocking to those who've never seen/heard it. Lots of potential there. Now, I'm gonna visit your site.

LiveMusic Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 That is very unique. Never heard of it. If there is a sample of what it sounds like, advise of the link. Thanks. > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throatsinger Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 A good place to start is one of my video pages: http://khoomei.com/vids.htm Lots of singers there, from kids to women to pros. Even a few of yours truly. Here's a good mp3 track from Kaigal-ool Khovalyg, my main man: http://khoomei.com/mp3s/kombu.mp3 And an mp3 of my band Big Sky, with me throat-singing, also electric guitar and producer: http://khoomei.com/mp3s/Siberia.mp3 The low stuff at the start and end, and the real high, flute-like stuff in the middle are kargyraa and sygyt, 2 different styles. BTW, it feels as cool as it sounds. Have fun, Steve Sklar Steve Sklar http://khoomei.com http://www.bigskyrocks.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffbayson Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 This is too weird. Yesterday, a friend of mine told me about throat singing for the first time, and now you've posted here on the same day. Everybody, ignore Steve Sklar! He's only a figment of my imagination.
