Learn to tend the seed of your voice and watch it grow in our ongoing Uncovering the Voice workshops.
Like Yoga for the soul, these meditative and playful singing exercises build inner flexibility and resilience, supporting your voice to feel relaxed and open while uncovering its full potential.
Cultivate deep, relaxed breathing; free, resonant tone; flexibility and range. Find the inner spring from which your voice flows effortlessly. Learn warm ups that help keep your voice fresh.
The Workshop Series gives an overview of the basic concepts of School of Uncovering the Voice: instrument building, breath, sound leading, vowels and consonants, widening, and reflection.

Testimony
“Ruth is a divine being and an extremely patient teacher. She is also incredibly intuitive and structures the lessons to what I need at the moment. Following Uncovering the Voice method, she finds different exercises and beautiful naturalistic images to inspire truthful revelation of one's voice. I highly recommend her to both beginning singers and singers who are looking to deepen their craft.”
— Monica Cortez, May 2024
“Ruth is an incredible voice teacher and wonderful person. My 12 year old has been singing with Ruth for about one year. She looks forward to every lesson. She says that Ruth is passionate, kind, patient, and professional. We couldn’t be happier that we found her!”

“Motivating, deeply touching, and transformative is how I describe my Singing Retreats with Ruth Hoffecker at the Ashland School of Uncovering the Voice. The School is located on a mountainside southeast of Ashland, Oregon, and looks out across the Rogue Valley to Mount Ashland. The quiet of this place enlivens the listening place within me. The resonance of our voices is amplified singing together in the lovely building housing the music school.
After 3 years of learning and practicing the “Werbeck” exercises online (for which I am most grateful), it was like coming out into the sunshine to be in the living presence of my teacher Ruth, body, heart, and spirit; breathing, laughing, and singing together.”
