Music touches the soul and arises the spirits of life. -
In this course the student will be trained to work with individuals and groups. The development of the voice in all its aspects, music theory, phenomenology of sound and sound-healing are the basic elements that will be worked on in a very practical manner.
The aim is that the student becomes able to set up an overtone groeps/choirassist a traditional choir, present his/her own program of music-phenomenology to schools and other national or private institutions, give a musical service at hospices and in similar situations, use his/her musical ability for healing and regeneration.

The programme explores the following themes by practical excercises:
