The Vocal Impulse Advanced Practicum by Chloë Goodchild

What You’ll Discover in These 14 Modules

In this 14-part transformational intensive, Chloë will guide you through befriending and shifting difficult emotions, releasing blocked energy, and healing old narratives to liberate your authentic Self — through the healing sounds of your own voice.

This course will feature teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Chloë. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to learn to sound seven musical modes that can reveal your emotional moods and help you to embody, express, and transform them for a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Each module will be accompanied by at least one song, poem, melody line, or chant that communicates a specific sound, color, and mood highlighting the specific musical mode being explored.

If you have not experienced Chloë’s work before, you’re welcome to sign up for this intensive training and we will bundle in her introductory course Your Vocal Impulse for you — which you can do before, or in parallel with, this more advanced program. This extra training is described below and is included in your registration.
Module 1: Discover 7 Musical Modes as Sound Medicine for Transforming Your Emotions\smodule1.jpg

In this first session, you’ll discover what a musical mode actually is, and how the energy field of your body is like a musical instrument made up of trillions of vibrating cells that bounce about to the ever-changing rhythms of your heartbeat and in concert with your emotional moods.

You’ll learn how your body-field is actually a musician-ship, and a “house of song” with the support of the Seven Sounds of Love, specific tonal energies or “musical chakras” that interconnect, align, and “tune-in” your instinctual body with your intuitive heart, mind, and soul. These tonal energies form a rising and falling sonic line of energy between the root and the crown of your body.

As you learn to navigate your mood swings into deeper feeling states through the sounding of the Seven Musical Modes, and the Seven Sounds of Love within them, you’ll start to experience your unique sound and singing voice as the true messenger and mouthpiece of the inner music inside you.

In this module, you’ll:

Experience the connection between an emotional mood and a musical mode
Start to use your voice to gain self-awareness through “sound awareness,” uncovering hidden or suppressed emotions and expressing them through sound
Discover your body as a “musical instrument,” as you learn to voice the 7 Sounds of Love
Take a tour of the 7 musical modes (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian) (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian)
Learn songs and a poem that can evoke happy or sad emotions inside you

Module 2: Opening to Innocence & Wonder Sounding the ‘Happy’ Ionian Mode
module2.jpg

The Ionian mode is the “happy” mode. As you work with it, you’ll discover a very open, magical scale, capable of igniting a deep sense of wonder, delight, and liberation from heavy feelings and emotions.

The “medicine” of this mode is naturally present in the visionary, the wise elder, and the child. It is free of tension. It invites us to be carefree and accepting of all, opens us to positive intentions, and inspires faith.

In this module, you’ll:

Experience an exercise in conscious breathing inspired by the Ionian mode
Access open-heartedness as you navigate and express melodies of the Ionian mode
Learn Chloë’s “Sound of Music” in the Ionian mode
Hear a poem to inspire a happy mood
Reflect on a memory where your Ionian spirit was strong
Practice the Ionian music scale with energy movements
Sing along with the Ionian Vibrational Map recording
Meditate on the positive acceptance of who you are

Practicum: Explore the ‘Happy’ Ionian Mode Through Song & Poetry

Use your voice for healing and exploration as you sound, embody, and express the homeopathic notes of the musical modes.

You’ll also listen to and then sound the Ionian Vibrational Map practice together (with or without the accompanying recording) (with or without the accompanying recording).

These special practice sessions allow you to deepen your “sound healing” experience of the material through your voice, while also gaining valuable insights as you compassionately witness others’ progress, and in turn are compassionately witnessed yourself.
Module 3: Exploring Silence as a Stabilizer Which Deepens Your Connection to Sound\smodule3.jpg

Nonjudgmental listening and respect for silence are both essential requirements in strengthening your emotional and sound intelligence with the musical modes, as potent “sound keys” of your soul. At the root of this deep listening is an awareness, beneath duality, of your fundamental nature or consciousness.

This awareness can be strengthened by sounding the “unchanging note,” such as the sacred Aum sound. Sounding in this way enables you to become aware of the significant role that silence plays — notably when your sounding stops — creating a grounded presence within from where a musical relationship with your true voice can flourish.

You’ll discover the alchemy that takes place when your mind, soul, and spirit collaborate to awaken the music of your deep Self. When your interior witnessing mind is fully attentive, and in alignment with your intuitive heart, the infinite song of your spirit can arise from silence and return to silence once more.

In this module, you’ll:

Focus and strengthen your witnessing mind
Meditate on an emotion arising and expressing how it sounds, while simultaneously listening to yourself without judgement
Embody the energy movements of the 7 Sounds of Love without sounding them
Chant the sacred Aum to access your inner sound more deeply
Strengthen self-inquiry with questions such as, “Who is singing or sounding?”
Reflect on the stillness within you, and its presence in your life
Listen to the quality of silence that your voice leaves behind

Module 4: Sounding the Homeopathic Notes of the Aeolian Mode to Transform Depression\smodule4.jpg

The Aeolian mode, known as the “minor” key, is the antidote of the Ionian “major” key. This musical mode makes us feel a longing for that which we cannot name. It is a homeopathic healing remedy for depression, covering a range of melancholic emotional moods. Once heard, it can be a healing sound medicine for depression, unrequited love, alienation, lamenting, and longing. It is often used in Irish and Jewish music. The third and sixth flat notes color the emotional music of the Aeolian.

In this module, you’ll:

Sound the Aeolian mode, focusing especially on the third and sixth notes ascending and descending
Learn an Aeolian song, chant, and poem
Explore how the Aeolian mode visits, influences, and affects your everyday life
Honor the lamenting emotional mood of your soul by spontaneously improvising in the Aeolian
Practice the Aeolian Vibrational Map recording
Improvise spontaneously and express your Aeolian moods focusing on the notes that touch you most
Write an homage or love song to your experience of depression, yearning, lamenting, or that which you most long for

Practicum: Evolve Your Musical Mind by Sounding the Aeolian Mode

Use your voice for healing and exploration as you sound, embody, and express the homeopathic notes of the musical modes.

You’re invited to share and strengthen your vocal medicine experiences, as you explore and sound the healing power of the Aeolian mode.

These special practice sessions allow you to deepen your experience of the material while also gaining valuable insights as you compassionately witness yourself.
Module 5: Discovering the Balancing Effects of the Dorian Mode for Opening to Uncertainty & Overwhelm\smodule5.jpg

The music of the Dorian mode dances between sad and happy musical notes, playing with these apparently opposing emotions of our nature. The sad nature of Dorian is emphasized by the third minor note, while the upper half of the Dorian scale has a happy nature and points us towards new horizons of possibility and a wider field of perception.

Sounding the Dorian mode allows you to explore ways, within one ascending and descending scale, to discover just how uncertain you are about a situation. It enables you to witness, balance, and embrace the lower mood with the higher happier musical mood. You can even begin to feel how “happy” and “sad” can actually complement, rather than oppose, each other.

In this module, you’ll:

Notice how your experience and expression of the Dorian mode changes on the ascending scale to the descending scale
Find out what it is about these musical intervals that enable you to lighten up, embrace, and integrate the lows and highs of your nature
Meditate on how the shadow and light emotions within you actually balance — or generate friction — in your life, and what new action is calling to be taken
Learn the positive music medicine of a Dorian dance song
Learn a Dorian folk song or chant
Notice which notes really move you within the scale and improvise a simple tune using just those musical notes
Meditate on how uncertainty visits you in your life

Module 6: Experiencing the Phrygian Mode as the Great Transformer of Anger & Despair\smodule6.jpg

The Phrygian mode has an Arabic or Spanish feel in color. When you invoke the notes, you can visualize a flamenco tango or some other impassioned situation of unstoppable fury and wanting. It is a great healer for the transformation of anger, lustful passion, the “dark night of the soul,” the depths of despair, and feelings of separation, and absence.

The notes of the Phrygian musical scale are all “flattened,” and when they resound together they generate a musical experience of fiery intensity and sensual pleasure fueled by the pressure towards a potentially devastating or self-annihilating outcome.

In this module, you’ll:

Learn how the Phrygian musical intervals can help you to transmute unresolved emotions into intense, unstoppable creative energy
Familiarize yourself with this mode’s ascending and descending notes
Illuminate the fire of your creative passion by improvising within the scale
Ignite your fiery intention with a Phrygian song, chant, and prayer
Participate in sounding of the Phrygian Vibration Map recording

Practicum: Strengthen the Vocal Medicine of Your Soul With the Phrygian Mode

Use your voice for healing and exploration as you sound, embody, and express the homeopathic notes of Phrygian mode and more.

You’re invited to weave your nonjudging presence with your self-observing mind as you vocalize, experience, and strengthen the musical medicine of your soul as it arises through your sounding of the Phrygian mode.

These special practice sessions allow you to deepen your experience of the material while also gaining valuable insights as you compassionately witness yourself.
Module 7: Transforming Fear Into Courage With the Irresistible, Open-Hearted, Compassionate Voice Medicine of the Lydian Mode
module7.jpg

The Lydian mode enables us to enter into the effortless grace of a new and heartfelt openness available in the musical landscape of the Lydian Soul. In contrast to the Phrygian mode, it is open and free of any tension — even more so than the Ionian mode.

The Lydian mode is identical to the Ionian mode in every respect except for its sharp fourth musical note, which opens out ever further, and is, thus, a real antidote to the dark realms of Phrygian. This emphasis on the sharpened fourth note was called the “devil in music” by the Christian church for a period of time — felt to be so joyous and happy that it was abolished by the church as being too “dangerous” to sing. Such is the potency of this vocal sound!

In this module, you’ll learn practices to:

Discover what it feels like to shift from the dark absence of the Phrygian mode into the light-hearted presence and all-inclusiveness of Lydian mode
Discover the “heretical” musical note that was known as the “devil in music” because of how it pries your heart open irrevocably
Learn an uplifting anthem in Lydian
Explore ways to improvise and hear yourself in this new dimension of vocal experience, as you let go of attachment to old stories
Create a poem or song that emphasizes the transformative fourth musical interval in Lydian
Participate in the Lydian Vibrational Map recording

Module 8: Awakening the Energies of Inner Peace & Sublime Joy Through the Healing Sounds of the Mixolydian Mode
module8.jpg

Discover the simple and luminous beauty of this musical mode and how it can simultaneously raise your spirits to new heights and ignite a very warm “bluesy” feeling inside you. This music brings you home to the source of your true self with a love that melts the heart and helps unify your higher aspirations with your grounded purpose on earth.

The Mixolydian mode will awaken your soul in refreshing ways. Its unique impact is created by the diminished seventh note, while all its other ascending-descending notes duplicate the Ionian mode.

This musical mode was used a lot by the acclaimed German visionary, abbess, and spiritual healer Hildegard von Bingen of medieval times, whose inspired singing voice and compositions are still enjoyed and sung today. She was sublimely inspired to dedicate her anthems to the Divine Mother as the spiritual embodiment of Mother Earth. You’ll experience, as Hildegard did, how sounding the Mixolydian mode instils a deep sense of inner peace, self-containment, and unconditional presence.

In this module, you’ll:

Embody sublime joy through your vocal sounding of the Mixolydian mode
Learn melodic phrases that emphasize the erotic, bluesy seventh note in the mode
Listen and learn one of Hildegard von Bingen’s anthems, “Mother of All Joy”
Explore jazz and blues songs to hear how this mode can melt your heart into an irresistible, sensual love song

Practicum: Sounding Healing Musical Notes for More Courage & Joy

Use your voice for healing and exploration as you sound, embody, and express the homeopathic notes of the Lydian and Mixolydian modes.

You’re invited to become aware of the essential presence of Discernment-Devotion-Determination, as you weave your nonjudging presence with your self-observing and intuitive mind — and vocalize, experience, and strengthen the healing medicine of these modes as they transform fear and encourage joy.

These special practice sessions allow you to deepen your experience of the material while also gaining valuable insights as you compassionately witness yourself.
Module 9: Surrendering to the Unknown, Allowing Disorientation, & Opening to Your Deepest Truth With the Healing Notes of the Locrian Mode
module9.jpg

The healing music of the Locrian mode opens you to an entirely “unknown way,” beyond any understanding of it. The medicine of Locrian mode is activated by the minor fifth note, which has been fixed and unchanging in all the other musical modes. The musical intervals of the Locrian activate a whole new spectrum of sound, opening up a landscape of listening, being, and becoming that awakens the formlessness of Being and the unknown way. As the mystic says, “There is no path; you make it by walking.” Chloe would say, “You make the path by sounding your spirit, or rather, letting your Spirit sound within you, and beyond you.”

Locrian calls us to become true expressions of our evolution, crafting a new story and a true way of Being that is emotionally fulfilling, unconditionally accepting and generous, and in relationship with our deepest truth.

In this module, you’ll:

Discover the Locrian mode as a musical medicine for disorientation, as a gateway into union with your Deep Self
Sound the notes of the Locrian to experience a landscape of listening, being, and becoming as you open to the formlessness of Being
Experience this mode as vocal medicine for surrendering to the unknown and opening to your deepest truth
Learn new melodies, songs, prayers, and poems that evoke the emotionally fulfilling nature of this healing musical mode
