The Essence of
Sound Space Awareness
Learn how to work with Therapeutic Sound
Learning to work with therapeutic sound begins with listening.
At the Therapeutic Sound Academy, sound is approached as a relational and sensory experience. Training supports participants to develop sound space awareness — listening to sound, the body, context, and response — before moving into facilitation or application.
From this foundation, foundational playing skills are introduced as a responsive practice, supporting safe, attentive, and meaningful engagement with sound.
TESSA UN Ltd Therapeutic Sound Training pathways support you to:
- Explore your personal relationship with sound
- Integrate therapeutic sound into existing professional practice
- Progress towards becoming a Therapeutic Sound Practitioner
