Love Amber and her classes!! If you have even an inkling of interest in singing (I love singing in the shower and in the car, when I had a car, that is), consider taking Free Your Voice 1 with Amber. It is so fun, so freeing and it will open up your voice in ways you never imagined. You'll feel vulnerable, a bit insecure - that is natural! But over time, you will be released and freed! You'll be in a group of people who feel the same way, and you'll bond and get to a point of comfort to let yourself go. Amber is patient and lets you explore your voice, yourself, and relationships with others through different exercises that will enliven you, stretch you, and challenge you in a good way. Her teaching style is so playful and fun! Give it a try - it was the best thing I did for myself earlier this year, and it helped me through a very poignant point in my life and career. I also took her djembe and singing class this year! I had minimal experience playing taiko drums, so no drumming experience is necessary. It was such a release to play djembe, expressing myself this way and through continued voice. I bought a decent djembe for about $50 from the Guitar Center. She sends you YouTube links to practice along with, and I still play it to this day. Loved this class too! I made good friends in both classes whom I still keep in touch with. We are forever bonded, and I am a part of Amber's circle. Amber is also in a 4-person band called Echo. If you have a chance to catch one of their shows, you definitely should! Such a great sound with varying international instruments plus they are playfully interactive. Go, Amber, go Echo! read more

This review is for Amber's Free Your Voice 10 week program. I discovered the joy of chanting in yoga classes and kirtan, and for a while had been curious to develop confidence and fluency in my vocal expression. I was also curious how developing my vocal expression might encourage me to say what's on my mind more often! When I learned Amber was offering the 10 week Free Your Voice program, I had never met her, but I had already heard rave regard for her from several separate friends in my yoga community. I registered for the program without any hesitation. It felt great to be so clear about it! Amber's programs are one of the few places you can go to make noise and stomp your feet without attracting concerned citizens. I treasure the activities that provided a safe space for self-connection and expression. I felt healing being witnessed with rapt attention by Amber and others in the group. I felt rooted with a sense of place from connecting with traditions. This is such a great way to spend your time and stretch and grow your expression. Drawing and improv classes are great too, but *Free Your Voice* will only be around as long as Amber offers it or trains others to do so! read more

I just finished this class series with Amber Field and it was amazing. I feel myself growing in my courageous and authentic expression, and I saw the same happen for many of my fellow classmates. They (Amber) are a spiritual genius and will surely touch your heart. The real magic is that they will show you how to touch your own heart. I recommend this or any of Amber's classes. read more

I love Amber's classes. I've taken 3 so far: Free Your Voice, Free Your Voice While Drumming and 4 Part Harmony. My favorite so far was the harmony class because it was not as intimidating as the others since we got to sing in groups more. I'm a musician and song writer, so I take her classes to improve my singing skills as well as to get comfortable performing in front of others. I've always been a bit shy, and her classes push me way beyond where I would go on my own. Yes, it's scary sometimes, but after you do it, it feels good, and then you're ready to do it again. She has a format for her classes. We usually warm up and then do some work in pairs. After we sing in a circle together, and then the challenging part comes where we go around the circle to sing solo. That part is always frightening for me. Some people are hams, and they love it. I don't, but I'm trying to overcome the fear and learn to enjoy it. Her class provides people a way to grow. The classes are also full of other amazing humans who care about each other. We are all going through something pretty intense together, so you really bond with everyone in your group. I've made some great friends in each of her classes. Amber is also a very warm and loving person. She's very personable and she works works with everyone on their own level. If you can sing, she'll make you better, and if you cannot even hit a note on key, she'll be patient with you until you get it. I remember years ago when I had a music class and the teacher was plain mean to us when we sang out of tune. Amber is very supportive to everyone. I also took many private vocal and drumming lessons with her, and that is a great way to go as well if you can afford it. We worked on scales, warm ups, improvising and much more. She's really great at improv herself and came up with some great harmonies for songs that I am writing. I even hope she'll record with me on my album; she has such a beautiful voice. Amber's classes provide people with a way to improve their singing and social skills in a support group type of setting. You can be as free as you like. There are no boundaries, and you can also be quiet and reserved like me. Everyone has their own range, so everything is relative. Her classes are amazing, and I'll keep taking them, keep growing, and I'll keep meeting some wonderful people too. Thanks Amber for what you do. It's so special. I've told you a million times already, but it's taken me a long time to write something for you on Yelp. Oh, the other thing I love is her classes are so inspiring that they've helped me write many new songs and improve the ones I already started. If her classes sound interesting at all, just take them and see. What Amber is doing is very rare. You won't find any other classes like hers, and you won't meet anyone like her either. Amber is an amazing person. read more

I've taken several of Amber's classes back-to-back and fast forward, years later, I still feel the impact of Amber's craft and the enlivening energy cultivated with each class. This class brought more joy, love, playfulness, friendship, confidence, magic, and gratitude into my life than I could have imagined. I've learned to recognize the things that hold me back, how I truly wish to show up in the world, and how to get there through playfulness, gratitude, acceptance, risk, and support. Amber masterfully weaves music, improvisation, and storytelling in creating a safe space to explore, release, and grow. Perhaps the greatest lesson, was eventually learning how to create such spaces for myself and others. read more

Amber is a special human. I highly recommend her classes. So far I have taken two - Free Your Voice and Free Your Voice with Drumming - and can't wait to take more. Speaking up has been a life challenge for me and I was definitely hesitant to try voice classes, but I am so so glad I did and I feel so blessed to have found Amber. Amber is notably adept at creating a safe and cohesive group space where we bonded quickly and felt comfortable and supported taking risks. The class exercises are varied to keep it interesting and challenge you in different ways. Generally I found some exercises in each class to be just plain fun and others to test my edges, which felt like an ideal mix. Looking back, I can really see that I came a long way from where I started - Amber skillfully creates this comfort by helping us take baby steps outside of our comfort zone each week so it never feels too overwhelming. I really loved these classes because I felt like I was growing but it was also so much fun and a really wonderful group of people. Truly can't imagine a more effective or easier way to get more comfortable with my voice. Amber is a gem!! read more

This is now the 5th time I've taken Amber's Free Your Voice Class. :-) I clearly love the class! Over the last year, I've become a more joyful, free, and playful person. I show up more fully in my life. This class really does FREE YOUR VOICE. Amber is a gifted, heartful, brave, inspiring mentor/guide/role-model who creates a magical container. Magic and discovery does happen here. Thank you Amber. This class is a huge tool on the journey to ever more becoming myself. Totally - take this class, if you're a singer or not. Really doesn't matter. To freedom and joy. read more

The multitalented and energetic Amber Field combined her knowledge of bodywork, breath work, and song to help me heal my neck in an awesome 1-hour session yesterday. I will definitely recommend her to friends and loved ones and definitely use her services again. I have some serious tightness and stress in my neck. Who doesn't? Amber started me off with a breathing exercise that helped me relax and stretch. Then she did some focused massage that really opened up the most painful area. As a bodyworker, she is skilled and responsive to feedback. Next, we chanted! Then we sang! Opening my throat and singing with a gentle and enthusiastic coach brought warmth, joy, and palpable healing to the part of my body that's always working so hard to hold my big, heavy head up! Amber's truly creative and inspired in her work. If you'd like to explore healing and creativity with a collaborative and skilled partner, give her services a try. I'm so glad I did, and I feel great today! read more

UPDATE: I loved Amber's 2 hour workshop so much, I signed up for her 10 week "Free Your Voice" series. It has been one of the most beautiful experiences I have taken part in all year. I left the workshop feeling like a better human being. My self-expression, confidence, and peer support was at an all-time high from the series. I broke through barriers in my body I can't quite explain but that showed up in how I live my life on an everyday basis. If you're open and ready, this class will break your heart open. read more

Amber's Free Your Voice Class is a really incredible mix of playful creative expression and 5th chakra (throat/voice/communication) healing. She creates a very special space each week. I've found more strength in my own voice -- singing new songs, making strange sounds, and speaking my truth with confidence. Give yourself the gift of this class! read more

I love Amber's work! I took both Free Your Voice and Chakra Tuning in the fall in San Francisco, and also hired them for consultation and a daylong retreat at my nonprofit for two years in a row. They are very inspiring and make it easy to drop in to the sacred work of being real and authentic, building community and working toward the liberation of all. read more

Amber's free your voice class was a complete liberating experience. We are all made up of sound, and being a yoga teacher and a dancer I have known this and have always been able to express myself in movement through music and what not but when it came to expressing my self with my voice there was a block. This class totally took me out of my comfort zone but in a good way. Every time I went I felt like I was getting a massage internally. It has helped me tremendously in speaking to the public and just becoming more in tuned with my essence nature. There were a lot of shifts and miracles that happened in my life while in this class, ways I was able to speak up where in previous times I wasn't able to. Amber's fun-loving light approach is infectious to be around. I highly recommend her and this class if you want to feel empowered in your own being! read more

I took the Free Your Voice workshop with Amber, and I really loved it -- she taught us all a lot of practical voice techniques, but also focused nicely on the connections between voice and spirit. Best of all, Amber created a safe and playful space where everybody got to express themselves without fear or judgment...the perfect environment for taking in the lessons being offered. I'd highly recommend this series, or Amber as a one-on-one teacher, to anyone hoping to use their voice expressively, especially folks who may have inhibitions around using their voice. read more

I heard this remarkable woman for the first time in Elise Lorimer's yoga class at Valencia Yoga Tree and am in awe. Her music enabled me to flow in my practice so much further than my usual. Between Elise and Amber, I truly had a profoundly deep experience. What luck! I hope she continues accompanying Elise more and more. If you decide to take this incredible opportunity and go to one of Elise's classes where Amber is playing, don't forget to bring a donation! read more

I just finished Amber's 8-week Free Your Voice class, and wow! It was fantastic. Amber did a phenomenal job creating a safe and open and fun environment where I felt comfortable to open up and express myself. I was originally looking to join a community chorus, but this was sooo much better - more personally meaningful and had much more of an impact on my life. It's a great mix of singing & improv & chanting & personal exploration & group connection. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Amber is a master teacher. She listens more than she talks; she fosters community and collaboration over the teacher-center experience; she views the voice as a powerful tool that can heal yourself and others. I walked in to my first Free Your Voice workshop in March of 2014 without confidence in my voice. Now singing is a daily practice for me. Amber creates a space for you to find your edges and your truths. Amber offers something unique--a playful, irreverent, spiritually-grounded experience to grow your voice. These classes are magic of sounding, community and song. Say YES! read more

When you take Amber's class be prepared to see yourself through sound and let your inhibitions go. Amber's class is amazing, nurturing, eyeopening and most of all healing. I wanted to take a class that was different from any voice class anyone could take. I don't really sing but I love to sing and want to be comfortable doing it without the tightness in my throat when someone is looking. Amber creates a environment where you can find your inner beauty. It will be ugly and uncomfortable in the beginning as you peel away the layers of pretension that you have built around you over time. As you go through the class something new and beautiful is revealed each time. You have to take it to understand it. When you hear about it and something stirs in your heart, then it means this is for you. Free your voice, find your truth. read more

Amber is just awesome... She lead a workshop that was very freeing in many aspects. Before I knew it I was singing and using my voice with so much more confidence and freedom. The change came very fast too. I am very grateful for what she has done in terms of my singing improvement. The other thing about her workshop is that it was so much fun.. Amber attracts cool, fun and free people and her workshop only shoot up from there. Again, I would gladly take another workshop with her and would highly recommend her. read more

I've always been drawn to the Native American flute. After many years of pushing off lessons, I finally decided to make the commitment and find a teacher. I wanted someone that I could resonate with musically who could teach me to play from within, not just from tabs or sheet music. I found Amber online and have been their student for the last four months. It's been fantastic. They are a highly skilled musician (of many instruments) and teacher, creating space for my own music and song to express itself while also pushing me to build good technique through careful listening. read more

I read the other eloquent reviews of Amber's Free Your Voice class and was still nervous about signing up. I wish I hadn't waited so long. The class is more wonderful than I can describe. The singing is fun and uplifting and Amber creates a beautiful, supportive community that is safe for all voices. And I say that as someone with a lifelong lack of confidence in my ability to hit a note and a lot of anxiety around public singing. I will definitely sign up for more classes and workshops with Amber. read more

Amber's Free Your Voice class was a healing and playful exploration into singing, performance and improvisation. As a result of this class I feel much more comfortable with vocal improvisations and performance. Amber creates an incredibly safe place to explore your edges around singing. You will not regret taking this class! read more

I just finished Amber's 8-week Free Your Voice program. It was a wonderful experience filled with play, weirdness, creativity, fun and pushing ourselves beyond our boundaries. I would recommend it to anyone, even if you don't want to sing per se. Amber creates a safe and loving space to grow in. Besides, you will come away having found a sound family to call your own :) read more

After taking Amber's "Free Your Voice" class, I can enthusiastically proclaim that Amber is an incredibly dynamic and talented natural healer with the power to intuitively feel out what each unique situation demands. Her musical talent is only matched by her presence as a teacher. Let's face it- we all need to free our voice! read more

Amber's Free Your Voice I and II courses helped me go from wanting to perform music to actually performing music. The results I've had would of been different had it not been for these courses, which are an easy way to keep my inner-performer engaged in an informal, fun, and safe setting. If you are thinking about signing up for one of Amber's courses, just stop now and do it. read more

"I loved loved loved taking Amber's 'Free Your Voice' workshop. She's an incredibly talented artist, teacher, and leader... and so inspiring. Throughout every class I felt gently guided, held and supported by Amber and the other students in the group, as I moved through specific fears and insecurities that reared their heads during this time. I felt safe, and connected to something deeper when I was in Amber's field of creativity, vast wisdom, compassion, and soul. The best part is that this has shown up in my everyday life in the form of more confidence and connection to my own soul. I'm beyond grateful to Amber for this experience." read more

What an amazing journey the eight weeks have been taking Amber's Free Your Voice class. She inspired and encouraged me to discover my voice in a safe and inviting space. Through her guidance and compassion she led the class through various forms of creative expression... Indian chanting, gospel, meditation, sound, movement and performance. Taking her class was the perfect way to start my week! I highly recommend her class and will plan on taking it again... Thank you Amber! read more

Amber Field is awesome! As a facilitator, she is loving, comforting, accepting, kind, and a lot of fun! I love to sing in the shower, but I have never been brave enough to go beyond that. I was extremely nervous when I took a risk and signed up for her Free Your Voice workshop, but the dynamic and playful energy of my first class allowed me to sink in to the experience of exploring and discovery. Great people are drawn to this class, and Amber keeps us all feeling safe and supported creating a unique and intimate group. After every class, I felt a buzz from having participated in a truly magical, musical exploration. This class is excellent for getting to know yourself better, for freeing your voice and so much more. I would highly recommend it, and I will definitely take it again! read more

I had a truly amazing time in Amber's class. In addition to feeling more comfortable with my voice at the end, I really feel more open, comfortable...empowered to express myself fully in each moment. There is so much to gain from this fun and explorative play of music and song. I want everyone to have a chance to free their voice! read more

I just "graduated" from Amber Field's 10-week "Free Your Voice" class in SF and it was delightful. Amber is a talented teacher and artist who provides a safe space for people who want to explore singing. Her loving attitude and beautiful voice are inspirational and her non-judgemental and gentle approach welcomes people of all backgrounds, experience, and ages. Our group learned some technical aspects of singing as well as many songs from a variety of cultures. The group became a supportive community which nurtured growth of all members. I'd highly recommend this experience. Loved it. read more

Amber Field's "Free Your Voice" Workshop was absolutely astounding. She is incredibly skilled at quietly creating a safe space and gently encouraging people to explore and find their truth, then openly express it. So many times at the end of the class people would voice their delight at being given the space to "play" which, as adults with busy lives, we rarely have. At the end of the 8 weeks our group realised that although we knew nothing about each other in the normal way (where we live, what we do for a living, our relationship status, etc) we had forged a strong connection without those typical words. Whether you are a professional singer or have never sung a note in your life you will benefit from this workshop. Sign up NOW!!! You won't regret it. http://amberfieldmusic.com/ read more

Wow! WOW! I'm talking about Amber Field's Free Your Voice workshop! Amber has created a totally safe space in which our group found the trust and freedom to open up and express ourselves to each other in ways that would be considered by many folk wildly over the top--stuff ya always wanted to say or do, but were afraid of people would think. In the past 8 weeks I have learned to dig deeper to find parts of myself that have been longing to be expressed, I have gained a better awareness of nonverbal communication at group level and I reclaimed my spirit of playfulness. AND, best of all we laughed our asses off. I sing, but this is not necessarily for singers. Amber has given us an arsenal of tools for using and developing our voices for self discovery and healing as well as for singing. For one night each week for eight weeks, there were no "wrong" notes, no social constraints, no judgements--just freedom to Be. Do it! You'll be glad. read more

I've taken two voice classes with Amber and they were simply wonderful. There is no judgement or competition - the main objective allows each of us to find the voice that may be hidden or suppressed over the years. There is a joy to rediscovering that voice, both in myself and in sharing with others. Amber reminds us that music is in everyone. read more

Amber has a voice of an Angel. And she is an angel! In her 'free you voice' class, she holds a safe space for all to express themselves. time flies in her classes - that's usually is a good indication! read more

Unexpectedly awesome! Amber's Free Your Voice workshop was not only fun and playful, it was a safe place to explore boundaries of expression. Using sound and voice exercises, gospel, kirtan, improv and movement, Amber offered many ways to tap into freeing the voice. It was great to see so many people engage with each other and themselves in supportive and creative ways. I feel much more relaxed about singing and it's way more fun! read more

As a guide into healing by way of sound, Amber is at once a grounded leader and one of the group. She very comfortably shifts between teacher and participant in a way that moves the group forward and holds the space while adding her personal story and vibration to the group dynamic. I felt connected to myself, the group, humanity and the universal vibration at times. At the same time, it was just uncomfortable enough in certain moments to really create some internal openness. The structure she created, the way we explored sound, was clearly a reflection of her own path yet universal at the same time. read more

Amber creates a warm, inviting, kick-ass space to play and explore making sounds and songs. With seamless facilitating, she leads you through circle singing, partner work, and solo vocal experimentation. The play itself makes a bonded, trusting group where people take creative risks and cheer each other on. A nurturing environment to put yourself out there and live out loud. If you were thinking of going on antidepressants, try Free Your Voice first! I feel more connected to myself and more comfortable showing up as I am in front of strangers. Do it! read more

I almost didn't take the Free Your Voice class...it seemed a little too scary...but I sure am glad I did. Amber has a way of getting us to stretch out of our comfort zones, trusting each other as we do. It was a wonderful experience, and I will be taking the class again. See you there! read more

I loved this class! It helped me to silence my inner critic and not allow perfectionism to get in the way of performing and having fun. I enjoyed being challenged to push boundaries and be a part of a family that supported me. Amber is great in facilitating this kind of nurturing environment and I am grateful for this great learning experience! read more

Amber's Free Your Voice While Drumming class was outstanding! Initially, I was a bit daunted by how progress she thought we could make. But after every class, I left amazed at what I had accomplished in less than 2 hours. She breaks down rhythm in a way that makes it incredibly tangible for a total beginner to percussion. And then she teaches you to integrate your voice while drumming, which after 4 weeks I felt I was doing pretty well! An awesome teacher and an exciting addition to her Free Your Voice classes. I would strongly recommend it, whether you've taken another class with her before, or you're interested in drumming and singing. read more

I am very glad that I took "Free your voice I course" with Amber Field. Amber is a wonderful musician, singer and a talented performer!You can really see all these qualities and her passion as a musician when she teaches!The class is fun and full of activity and exercises to help you to use your vocal cords and let go of fear, if any, towards freeing your voice. Besides the great activities you meet such incredible people... our groups was amazing! We had many great moments supporting each other. My goal was not so much to sing, but to be able to project my voice in a room and to express it with more confidence. I definitely feel the difference between before and after the course,when I speak to others in a group or on the phone. read more
