Learn to embody a song, not just sing it.
Music is emotional communication. The Living Song develops the whole performer — technique, presence, persona, and expression — in an interactive and supportive group.
A six-week group workshop
The Living Song is a six-week group workshop for singers and singer-songwriters at any level — from first-time open-mic nerves to working performers sharpening their craft. Each session builds on the last, and the cycle ends with a live public showcase. All genres welcome.
Alongside traditional technique — breath, pitch, tone, register — you'll build stage presence, persona, microphone craft, physical expression, and emotive phrasing. Above all, you'll learn how to get out of your own way and speak the truth with your artistic expression.
One arc, week by week
Breath, pitch, posture & audience perception.
Building and inhabiting a stage character.
Timbre and the mic as expressive tools.
Gesture, face & stillness; the body–mind connection.
Spontaneity, recovery & living in the moment.
Nerves, performance-day prep, and a full public performance — friends and family invited.
Your facilitator
Nathan is a singer-songwriter, music educator, and military veteran based out of the Jersey Shore. He spent ten years in Nashville, where he developed his original indie rock sound — fronting multiple cover bands, singing with the Nashville Symphony Choir, performing his own music in songwriter rounds, and co-writing songs along the way. He also founded a non-profit that helped students connect with their artistic passion, hosting numerous workshops and live musical events.
Now he brings that Nashville artistry and experience to the Living Song, a vocal performance series built on a simple premise: music is emotional communication. There is an inner knowing that must occur before an audience can understand the meaning behind the message. Nathan holds a Bachelor's of Music in vocal education from Middle Tennessee State University.
