#1 Michele Simon Balkan Vocal Technique Mini Lesson 3-17-20
Beautiful. Thanks for posting, Michele. I used to dance this.
what a beautiful song, than you very much. I would love to know what the lyrics mean.
So glad you like it! here's the translation: Radka was left widowed at seventeen. She knotted a black scarf under her fair face and grieved for her true love. Mother said to Radka: “Hush, Radka, don't cry. You’re still young and beautiful. You’ll find someone else to love.” Radka said to her mother, “Hush, Mother, don’t say such things. There’s no one like my true love, neither in Turkey or beyond, nor in all of Macedonia.”
Wonderful!!!
That's one of the best warm ups on youtube ❤
body, mind, spirit, Soul
Very Lovely. Thank for posting.
Thanks for listening!
Lovely. Thanks
thank you!
Thanks for posting!
thanks for listening!!! (and doing the board...)
This song brings back great memories, very nice!
hey juan how sweet! hope you are well!
really enjoying this content... I want to learn the song properly but struggling to find the word? Michele could you add the words in the caption or even in a comment?
Hi Isabel - thanks for the suggestion! The lyrics are now in the video description. Enjoy!
your lessons are amazing❤
Thank you for this wonderful lesson! :- ) And I really like your end quote, it's a good mantra
you are so welcome!!!!
I'm a Bulgarian. Oddly enough, we don't learn this at school and I happened to live in an age, where my grandparents were too much looking to the future, in order to transmit what was in the past. I have had some musical training in my youth, but I've never been able to sing a folk song properly. I'm pondering going to lessons, but since I'm with a small child, I can't do it now. So these lessons are my greatest joy now! Thank you for making these and being so interested in our culture! 🥰
thanks for this sweet message! I have gotten so much from Bulgarians and Bulgarian culture, so it feels good to be able to repay just a little bit...I'm glad you're singing - keep it up!
@@michelesimonsimplyvoice9336 The pleasure's mine! I went through lesson 2 and you can't believe my amazement, when I managed to sing it like it should be sung. I was in tears, I kid you not! Your explanations are perfect, so easy to follow and they give me answers to questions I've had for years. I will be forever thankful! This is the beauty of the transmission of cultural heritage - it can transcend time, space, land, nationalities - it only needs to be from the heart! ♥ Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤ thank you, you are amazing
Lovely! Thank yOu!
How beautiful! Are you still singing together? I would LOVE to join!
thanks so much for this! sorry you can’t make it
I wish I could go, but alas I cannot. Michele is a wonderful teacher and every time she is in the Kitka lineup I am thrilled. Also, this camp which started out as a CCC built camp in the 1930's is beautiful. I spent many summers in the farthest camp in which in those days was YWCA camp Timbertall. The camps are deep in the Redwood Forest by a river. You won't be sorry if you go.
This is wonderful. I've used it for my UCLA class. Thank you so much!
you’re very welcome! what class?
FANTASTIC!!! BRAVO!!!
This was amazing, I can't wait to do the rest! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this! I’ve been searching for Bulgarian vocal ressources because the layers of harmonies have really interested me and there’s little information :)
Thank you!!😍🌹🙏 Especially in this Covid Times was Hard to meet People/Teachers needed some work like this before my first Recital after 2Years!!!I will be singing a Bulgarian Song as well
This is gorgeous. Is it Macedonian?
it is!!
So beautiful. I'm going to sing with you next time as I have this song in my Kitka song folder. Can anyone recommend how to get people to synchronize? I teach a simple class one evening a week on Zoom, but we can't sing together as it doesn't synch. I'd love to be able to have us be able to hear and sing w/each other as our group has been going since 1974.
Can you give the name of the songs you use? You are a great teacher, Michele. Because of time constraints I can only do about 5 minutes at a time. But you are so clear and you repeat, so I get what I can. Thanks.
hi Sandra - I use many different songs; the song in this class is Ajde Red Se Redat
Great, Michele. Glad to know that Stockton Folkdance Camp is still going. I had a scholarship to attend back in the 1960's. Passed out from the heat and we all stayed up till 3AM dancing. When I came home I felt like I could fly; I could elevate so much farther than when I arrived. Great experience. We also sang every day. Aloha from Sandi in Oakland 2022.
Michele Simon is a marvelous singer with Kitka for years. anything she teaches is well worth learning.
ah shucks! so sweet!
Oh, how wonderful. Thank you all.
Wow! Respect.
thank you!!!
Благодаря ви много.
my pleasure!

I love learning this because I love to do a cover versions of pop songs that will incorporate this vocal style. Glad to learn a lot from you.. thank you.
Oh my gosh, your lesson is so enjoyable and helpful, and the comments so nice, I wish we could all gather for some tea and chat and sing :)
woudn't that be nice.....I wish!
Yes me too
OMG Michele, I am looking for such a long time to learn singing Bulgarian music, which I adore🥰. THANX for this marvelous session. i am singing for more than 40 years, but this was so good to reach this forward area sound room. and because I am used to learn mainly by listening, brilliant!!🙏
so glad it's useful!
When I was a in high school in Serbia our music teacher was teaching us these techniques when we were learning our ethnic singing. Etncis singing used to be performed by women in village's when they gathered for some socialising. Usually they would tread the wool or do some needle work or knitting. All Slavic countries use this type of signing.
yes - this type of sound can be found throughout the Balkans and Eastern Europe, sung by women sewing, also working in the fields...
June 2021 and practising along with you, thanks so much
Really fun!!
Lovely lesson, thank you! Greetings from Romania 🤗
you are most welcome!
This was an incredible lesson!
Thanks! your fans are also looking for Zabava Kolo Festival set 1
it's on the California Kolo Festival You Tube Channel, but I'm going to be putting both sets on this site - thanks Susan!!!
Thank you very much for your lessons! I watched all the videos. This is very valuable information and you explain it very well. I sing Russian and Balkan folk songs and teach traditional singing. Your workshops were very helpful, thank you!
Dear Michele, I am so glad to find your video. Appreciate your bright, joyful and expressive energy! And I checked out Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble. Love love it!!! I have been loving Balkan singing when I heard a choir in Australia 20 years ago. It's a deep spiritual connection for me. But I couldn't find more resource to do further study. I used to form a small women group and learned a few songs from CDs, but it's not easy. You can imagine how much I am longing for that voice connection. :) I am a performing artist and teacher from Taiwan. (My music group www.amovingsound.com ) It's interesting that I have done and taught similar exercise that you guided in this video without knowing the Balkan vocal technique. Would love to know more about you and learn more from you!
how lovely to hear from you - love your story! check out my website: www.michelesimonsimplyvoice.com/ and let's keep in touch! I will be teaching more online classes, will let you know when they are.
Your lessons are so enjoyable!
I'm so glad! I'll be posting more soon
Thank you
you are most welcome!
This is fantastic! Thank you for this opportunity to learn from you!!
glad you enjoyed it!!!!!
Here's one of the songs I'm teaching at Stockton Folkdance Camp starting Monday 7/13/20
i love the way you teach too much respect
Thank you very much god bless you
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am excited to watch the rest of the series :)
