Yodel Seminars
For Companies And Individuals“For me, yodelling is an expression of strength, joie de vivre and love of nature.”
Horst Biewald
Info About My Yodel Seminars
Yodelling is an ancient way of communicating over long distances especially in the mountains. From the original tone sequences for the transmission of warning or help calls, information or even gossip, in the course of time, an own style of singing has developed, which we associate today with yodelling.
For me it is an expression of joy, courage, strength, love of life and love of nature. Learning to yodel is fun, good mood, healthy and awakens our natural primal power. The straddle of the right mixture of an entertaining, musical learning and natural fun succeeds me since meanwhile 10 years in my yodel seminars. They are conceptually designed to spark enthusiasm and joy in making music together through group singing and yodelling, and incidentally to strengthen concentration, well-being and love of nature in the course participants. Yodelling grounds us, brings us back to our roots in nature and is a special expression of the natural beauty and power of a contented life.
Especially when singing and yodeling in a group, we can meet each other in a particularly intense and pleasant way that is difficult to describe.
One of the top priorities for me during yodeling seminars and events is that it should not be awkward or embarrassing for anyone. As we train our singing technique, our attention goes more to the gut and we get closer to our very own feelings as a result. A common frequency, a harmony, is created in the group. Music connects.
I want to help people rediscover and develop their very own musical joy. Music for me is something like food for the soul and reward for the child in us. It is an honor for me to provide you with the necessary knowledge for this and to give you the necessary tools. Because I’m convinced it’s never too late to have a happy childhood.
What Is The Procedure Of The Yodel Seminars And Yodel Events?
Right up front: previous knowledge and special talents are not required for the participants. When we are on the road, only the clothes should be chosen accordingly and if necessary. have some provisions packed and we should discuss an additional bad weather option in advance. If the yodeling takes place in a closed room, it is very easy anyway, as I will bring along equipment such as loudspeaker system if necessary. Everything is completely relaxed – the most important point is always that everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves.
We always start with specially selected exercises that prepare the body, mind and breathing for this special singing technique and immediately have a noticeable effect on concentration, relaxation and well-being. The first stress falls away, the first laugh is infectious and relaxing. This is followed by joyful, playful and collaborative learning that incidentally develops the speaking voice.
Then it’s time for the first simple yodeling exercises, which we can use if necessary, later also accompanied with traditional instruments. In individual steps we work our way forward with original and traditional yodels from the Alpine region, adapted to the event format, the group and its dynamics. I have also freely translated some Bavarian and Austrian yodeling songs into English so that participants in an English-speaking group can enjoy the yodeling feeling in their language as well.
You will find here linked request forms for private events and corporate events, so that you can send me the necessary information to prepare a quote without much effort.
If you would like to experience a yodeling seminar as an individual or with friends, you can find the next dates and venues here in the store and book tickets directly.
For individual company or private events, we first discuss the framework data and of course where the yodeling event is to be held. This can be anywhere between Huglfing and Honolulu, indoors or outdoors, and can range from a short entertainment interlude to a day seminar.
The following videos give you a small insight into the power and dynamics that can arise during such seminars and events in the group.
Each event can be held in German and English!
Yodeling Together At Individual Company Events
Experiences in social structures leave traces and emotions that can also be found in the working world and influence entire teams or departments. Many companies are currently going through difficult phases.
Lightness and joy are not necessarily associated with working life for all employees on a daily basis, and warm interpersonal relationships can then sometimes get lost in the pressure to perform.
That’s where a little laughter, fun and especially a sense of togetherness comes in handy….
For me, as an “outsider”, it is much easier to pick up on issues of stakeholders in companies. More performance-oriented, business partners and colleagues can meet, complement and get to know each other anew on a purely joyful and amusing, almost childlike level and thus redefine their relationships – ideally right at the beginning of a company event or an important meeting.
Yodeling has not only a great fun factor but also deep psychological effects. You’ll be amazed at how something as seemingly mundane as yodeling together affects the participants as individuals and the group as a whole. Read here what comes as feedback from other corporate customers:

Individual Yodel Event For Private
An individual yodeling event for a special occasion such as a birthday, bachelorette party or family celebration is always something special. At parties or meetings, it brings movement into each group – preferably at the beginning of the event – and strengthens the sense of community in a very short time. We can plan just a few hours together or a whole day – and everything in between.

Online-ShopFAQ – Answers To Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I learn yodeling?
What develops the singing voice helps the speaking voice at the same time. Being able to speak with a strong and convincing voice boosts self-confidence and significantly changes the effect you have on others.
Can it be embarrassing at the yodeling seminar?
No! I pay a lot of attention to making sure that it is pleasant for all participants. Forced auditioning, as was practiced in many schools a few decades ago, can create negative beliefs and dislikes -even fears. My yodeling seminars are led by me in a relaxed and mindful manner, so that such situations certainly do not arise. On the contrary, deep-seated, painful convictions can even be positively triggered and transferred into a resolution process. There has already been a lot of positive feedback from course participants on this topic.
I can't sing - what should I do at the yodeling seminar?
Although we use the voice every day, most of us have never dealt with the theoretical and practical knowledge bases of voice training. The ability to sing, like the ability to speak, is in principle inherent in every human being. It is more a question of technique and basic confidence to use this tool “voice” even better.
What framework conditions are required?
When we are outdoors the clothes should be suitable for the weather. In closed rooms, no special preparation is required. Only break catering and drinks should be organized or available – singing makes you hungry and thirsty and the vocal chords want to be moistened…
Are any previous experience or special talents required?
No, in principle, anyone who can speak can also sing. In the yodeling seminar, we will work on the corresponding breathing and singing techniques, so prior knowledge or special talents are not required.
Where can you hold a yodeling seminar?
Generally everywhere – best of course in beautiful weather in the open air. In case of uncomfortable weather or planning an in-house event, a room large enough for the group should be available – gladly both combined!
What if someone is not musical?
When we work with our voice, we always influence our well-being and our psyche at the same time. It is a form of self-regulation that can be used by anyone regardless of musicality. Everyone starts from a different level of knowledge – we learn together and progress piece by piece with fun and joy.
What happens when it rains or snows?
As a rule, in case of bad weather, it is more advantageous to go to a sheltered, warm and sufficiently large place where the participants feel comfortable. There are no special requirements for this.
What are the side effects of a yodeling seminar?
Here is an excerpt of the results from thousands of participants:
- Significant improvement of the speaking voice
- Working through problems with embarrassing situations (public speaking / singing / lecturing, etc.)
- Best suited for convinced critics (“I can’t sing”)
- Calming the central nervous system
- Improvement of creativity, social interaction and performance, among other things, because singing and yodeling leads out of the “Fight/Flight/Freeze” mode – into the “Relaxed” mode
- Strengthening the sense of belonging of the group
Can you really learn to yodel in a few hours?
All learning begins with current skills and is a developmental process. The greatest learning success occurs with fun and enthusiasm, this has long been scientifically proven (among others by the neurobiologist and brain researcher Prof. Dr. Gerald Hüther).
My participants practicing at Hintersee in the magic forest – what a dreamlike scenery…
On the way to the yodel star applies, of course:
“Practice makes perfect…”
