Q&A

Yes! This program is designed as an entry into sound healing and music therapy. We will learn the basics of music theory and different instruments so you can practice at your own pace and in alignment with your own experience and goal.

Do I need to know how to sing or play an instrument?

No. We will cover some basic techniques for singing for you to explore your own voice and learn how to play the bowls in Level 1. . Within the Level 2 of the course we have more time to find out what's your talent and how to bring that into your work.
