Final Free Class Ends with a Bang!

This afternoon we had our final toning, chanting and drumming class at Healing Music Academy. There were six of us and we learned how to tone, chant and drum in a way that was fun, healing, and easy! Listen to the excerpt below and you'll get a little taste of what we did today!

Penultimate Class in Toning and Chanting Has a Blast

This afternoon, was the next-to-last free toning, chanting and drumming at Healing Music Academy. We really had a wonderful time and actually got around to doing toning, chanting, and drumming in addition to some lively discussions on music with autistic children, music with surgery, and music with preemies and pregnancy. Sure wish that YOU could have been there. Is it on your calendar for next Saturday afternoon? The final class will be from 2-4 at our classroom, 2518 Frankfort Avenue. Hope to see you there!

Toning, Chanting, and Drumming Class focuses on new technique

Do you know what "skeletal humming" is? Well neither did the students who attended my free class today, but they do now! Skeletal humming is a technique I learned when studying with Dr. Alfred Tomatis. It is a process whereby you actually turn your own spine into a human tuning fork by vibrating first your teeth, then your jaw, then your skull and then down your spine. It is quite an amazing process and is done for the purpose of "charging your brain"!

We have two more free classes left; please try to make it there if you can!
