The Svara Project

Creating understanding, awareness and appreciation for voice through education, advocacy and outreach.

About

Svara (Sanskrit): successive steps of the octave; the ancient Indian concept about the complete dimension of musical pitch, including scales, tuning, composition, and melody

Project: an individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned and designed to achieve a particular aim.

Why The Svara Project?

Mindy Pack and Dr. Reena Gupta are known for producing the most innovative, diverse, interactive and informative vocal educational events. They have developed some of the most highly-attended and well-reviewed conferences globally. Their aim has been to elevate people’s understanding of voice, raising the collective knowledge base. When we have a higher level of understanding, our patients, clients, and students benefit.

The Svara Project was born of the need to translate these educational events into a global movement that changed the world of voice.
