Polyphonic Singing

A global phenomenon

I taught music for over 20 years. I have written curriculum for various online schools and taught music history and theory online and in-person for grades K-college (and beyond). Although I was a voice teacher, I never taught polyphonic or overtone singing. I was trained for western-style opera and so the opportunity to learn this style of singing was never presented to me. Today, I will cover the various regions who utilize polyphonic or overtone singing and their history with this unique singing technique.
