Sardinian Overtone Singing

& Throat Singing School


founders: 

       Ilaria Orefice & Giovanni Bortoluzzi  

Who we are

Overtone Singing and Throat Singing teachers, founders of  "Sherden Overtone Singing School" based in Sardinia, Italy, and operative throughout Europe.


The project was born to create a reference point in Italy for the Overtone Singing scene, useful for artists and for holistic operators who use voice and sound. We have choosen Sardinia as our landmark, because it's the only place in Europe that preserves in its tradition a form of throat singing (The voices of Canto A Tenore). We are constantly in touch with various Canto A Tenore groups, and we often act as a bridge that brings this ancient and fascinating tradition all over the world. 

We work as teachers, performers, researchers, and freelance musicians.

 We like to define our school "itinerant", because we love to travel and being hosted by different academies and associations. It is also common for students from all over the world to reach us for private lessons and to participate to our summer residences.


"Follow who's seeking the TRUTH, stay away from who claimed he found it". 

We're constantly studying and researching in order to improve our skills and knowledge, in order to offer the best learning experience to our students
