Sound and vocal exercises, will calm systems, increase energy and boost clarity
“Working with Kenna helped me take my music from a fleeting idea, to reality. In fact, I completed more creatively in the last year than I did in the previous 37. Most importantly, I’ve gained the courage to share my art with the world, and give it the life it deserves.”
