Dear all,

just a quick reminder that my tuition guide book and CD is still available:

'How to Khoomei'



This aids learning of all styles of overtone and throat singing.

You can review and purchase using the links below.

A PDF downloadable version will be available very soon.

Dear all,

happy to announce the release of my latest CD, recorded with my good friend Paul Lennon.

This features a wide range of ethnic instruments and a fair amount of overtone / throat singing.

You can listen to, and buy it using the links below. I'd be happy to get any feedback.

May 2011 bring you all you desire.



Best wishes,

Here is an interesting article by Oorzhak Khunashtaar-ool from 1993 about his lifelong khoomei singing, and how it must be properly taught to the young to preserve correct technique and tradition.

Even back in 1993, he laments the introduction of pop music influences into khoomei.

Also, note the suggestion that a young female group should form, the daughters of Tuva, which came true with 'Tuva Kyzy'.
