GROUP A – BASIC LEVEL
VOCAL COURSE – LOVE YOUR VOICE
IT IS DESIGNED for people who want to learn conscious contact with their voice and body and deepen their singing skills.
They do not have much experience in working with the voice, but they feel that it is a space they would like to develop, giving a lot of pleasure and supporting the process of self-discovery.
GROUP B – INTERMEDIATE LEVEL
VOCAL COURSE – LOVE YOUR VOICE
IT IS DESIGNED for people who already have some experience in working with the body and voice, who want to further develop and improve their skills. They had the opportunity to experience singing together in a group in polyphony. Without much embarrassment, they are able to produce a voice and reproduce the pitch of a given sound with their voice. This group does not require musical education or a high level of advancement, but its program provides for an expanded level of musical, vocal and movement topics.
In both group A and group B, what is important is your readiness to break your own blockages and expand your comfort zone boundaries in further development and conscious work with your voice and body. However, this process depends on you, you decide how much you can get involved in it and at what pace you want to act.
If you would like to learn more about the program of each group or jointly consider which one will be more suitable for you – tailored to your needs and predispositions – please contact me.
I will be happy to answer your questions and advise you 🙂

For as long as you can remember, music and singing have been close to your heart. Deep inside you feel that singing is something important to you, something that never stops calling you and is a priceless source of pleasure and support in expressing and contacting your own emotions and the beauty that you carry inside. Would you like to use your voice in an even more creative and pleasant way, without the feeling of embarrassment, judgment and comparison; consolidate your experiences in theory and practice that will contribute to building your vocal skills, deepening your self-confidence and developing musical awareness?

It is a form of education that offers you carefully selected tools that you can use in your further vocal practice.
LOVE YOUR VOICE is a course based on my own methods of working with the voice, which, during my many years of teaching practice, I have tested first on myself, and then on people who want to develop their voice. Of course, the development of each of us is individual and has its own dynamics, but I can certainly say that the methods I use bring satisfactory – and most importantly – audible results! effects in a relatively short time.
OPINIONS OF COURSE PARTICIPANTS:
“A vocal course with Zosia is a wonderful adventure of discovering your expression and exploring your voice. The classes develop your musical ear, teach you singing and voice emission from the basics, and expand your awareness of your voice and body. Zosia creates a wonderful atmosphere, full of openness, kindness and creativity, in which you simply you want to make sounds
🙂 I really like the fact that the classes consist of several parts – at the beginning it is more intuitive – with feeling, then specific technique exercises and developing new musical skills, until finally we reach singing songs, and then all kinds of improvisational activities or sound meditation . For me this is a perfect combination and I see how this way of learning allows us all to develop vocally with joy and curiosity about the process. It’s worth experiencing.” Paulina
“Kontakt is a unique place on the map of Krakow, and Zosia Trystuła is a one-of-a-kind artist and teacher. In the flood of commercialism and five-star hotels, it turned out that in the heart of the city there is still a place for artists, dancers and all kinds of restless spirits. Here not only you will be gifted with Zosia’s professional, impressive knowledge of singing and music, but you will sing breakneck oriental and folk songs. You will be surprised by how much you can do and what you didn’t even suspect. All in an amazing, meditative and mind-opening atmosphere. After intense work, there always comes time to relax with the sounds created by Zosia and improvised by us. Zosia is a multi-instrumentalist and allows you to experience the magic of her instruments. This is a moment I always wait for.”
Ola
“Zofia’s course showed me that in order to sing well, and most importantly, to have pleasure from it, we need not only to polish the technical elements of sound production itself. Work with the body, awareness of each nerve and the body’s response to tension, which may be a reaction even to a single thought. ..the ability to relax is as important, or maybe even more important than the best skills in mastering any repertoire. After all, under stress our body does not behave exactly as we would like. The classes help me synchronize my mind – body – emotions. I feel and hear that I’m making progress every week and I admit that it sometimes surprises me that it’s happening so fast. As a person who has been learning music in the music school system for most of my life, I find the classes a breath of freshness and the opening of new, endless I’m just so excited about the possibilities 😃”

DURING THE COURSE:
We will focus on the voice, without ignoring the important role our body plays in the process of learning to sing. By working with the body and learning about conscious, deep feeling, we will support the potential of our voice. Movement and vocal exercises will sometimes take place in the form of independent practice, but mostly as part of group interaction. We will also use emission and breathing exercises to support the development of the correct vocal and emission apparatus. In practice, we will focus on developing skills in the field of polyphonic harmony, ear training, rhythm, ornamentation of melodic lines and conscious vocal and vocal-movement improvisation. I will often use my ethnic instruments to support specific exercises, interactions and relaxation. There will be instruments such as: blul and shvi flutes, vast drum, Armenian duduk, Persian santur dulcimer and frame drums. During the course, there will also be exercises aimed at sensitizing and sharpening the senses – in particular hearing and touch – which will support us in creative cooperation and fuel the energy of musical exchange in the group.
There will also be elements of massage and relaxation, both tactile and auditory. The effects of the work (with the consent of the participants) will be able to be verified and self-analyzed by learning conscious listening, also using audio recording. It is possible that some elements of the course may prove to be a challenge for you, which is why openness and honesty in a group where you will be able to feel freedom, lightness and lack of pressure are so important to me.
You decide the pace of your process; how willing you are to open up and dare to take part in something.
Before starting our cooperation, I encourage you to share with me your personal goals and
vocal and developmental needs that you would like to improve. This is very important to me and helps me adapt the course program even better to the needs and predispositions of the participants.
That’s why I encourage you to contact me now so that we can consider together whether this course will be right for you, tailored to your predispositions and development needs.
