THE MEDICINe OF MUSIC, THE SCIENCE OF SINGING, and the lessons of life
By Freya Astrella
Are you a truth seeker like me? I’m compelled to go beyond the “what” to dissect the “how” and “why” of every experience. This blog reflects my investigations into vocal technique, personal development, and the healing power of music.
Spiritual bypassing and shadow integration
Despite our best efforts to ascend to the lofty heights of enlightenment, we spiritual folk can – and do – fall into several traps. Let’s take a deep dive into the concepts of spiritual bypassing and shadow integration...
MEET FREYA ASTRELLA
Freya is a bonafide vocal technique expert and is one of the only teachers in the region to have gained Estill Voice certification (which means she can move all the parts of her vocal instrument independently!)
Freya holds a First Class BA(hons) in Professional Musicianship, VocalTech diploma, and a Master of Music Degree in Popular Music. And she is currently undertaking the Vocal Process teacher training course.
As a teacher, Freya has taught all ages and abilities at BIMM, Access To Music, The Academy of Music And Sound, TheatreTrain, Stagecoach Theatre Arts, and The Rock Project.
As a performer, Freya has accumulated hundreds of stage and studio hours. From top-tier functions in iconic London venues to collaborating with charting producers. Freya’s proudest moment was being inducted into the golden pages of the Cirque du Soleil casting database. She released her debut EP in 2023, with the second coming soon.
Furthermore, as a trained copywriter, Freya was a lead writer for VoiceCouncil.com, which was the biggest online resource for singers. And, she has worked in events and music marketing for seven years.
In her personal life, Freya has walked the healing path for many years. She deeply understands the power of embracing both the light and the dark in bringing about profound change and wisdom. Not only do these insights inform her own artistry and vocal expression, Freya holds space so her students can courageously and confidently ‘take up sonic space’.
