I love teaching and sharing this passion of mine. I came to music relatively late in my life and believe my approach helps any level musician open up to providing sacred sound and space holding. There are better musicians out there, but there are few who can bring all of the pieces together for a symphony of sound healing.
No. These are organic/feel instruments and it will be a joy to show you how easy it is to play these beautiful instruments masterfully.
No, we provide all the instruments you'll need for the training. However, if you have your own instruments and wish to practice with them, feel free to bring them along. Our experience enables us to work with a wide range ofy gongs, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls
We prepare each and every student in a structured and well rounded approach to a safe and effective sound healing experience. However, certification does require apprenticeship and testing. These are relatively easy to complete.
