THE MUSELETTER- MUSIC AND SOUND IN THE HEALING ARTS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

25/6/2016

The trumpets sounded and with a great shout, it was said, the walls of Jericho came down. The Lyre of Apollo was received by Orpheus to tame wild beasts and soothe the souls of men. The Pied Piper was able to lure both the rats and children out of town with his musical charm. Why? What did they know about the power of music and sound?

Whatever type of healing practice you may have, creating healing environments is  not just about basic sensual aspects or furnishing aesthetics. We must also consider vibrations, sounds and energies impacting upon persons.It is worthwhile for any persons working with music and sound in the healing arts to gain a bit of insight into its potentials and power to help them facilitate with precision and intent according to the client’s needs. We will explore this and more. 
​
What affect does different instrumentation have upon persons? Each instrument family has distinct timbres and aspects of instrument  design that lend themselves to affect various body regions. Some of what we understand of such affect is due to how and where we use the instruments to play, others the materials they are crafted from, their resonance and the nature of the sound they produce. Explore this and more at this workshop

Is the ear the only mechanism involved in the perception of sound? How else are we affected?. We will explore experientially. What is consciousness? What is state change? Explorations of the nature of being and experiencing.

What special magic can music bring to our physical emotional mental and spiritual wellbeing? Is there a key to this magic? We will look at the special magics of music opening our mind and heart to it’s true potential and power.

What are the links between ambient environment sounds and health? how do sounds in the world soundscape affect health and wellbeing, not only of ourselves but all species? Included in this workshop is a brief overview of sound and health and interspecies ethics from the perspective of Acoustic Ecology.

How much of the way music affects us is due to individual bias and how much is due to elements of music and greater principles? Explore this and more in this intensive one day workshop

Reference manual  is included. Book soon, maximum numbers 8 due to space restrictions

Creativity Coaching for Musician Composers Singers

Music is a special art form, sometimes our body is the instrument; for others the instrument is in the form of a tool, an extension of our Inner self, (the bass, sticks, flute, keyboard). Whatever your instrument, skill level, training level, or musicianship level, it is your art that is primary and yourself that needs to be ok with making it. Whether you work acoustically, electronically, with midi or with sheet, solo or in bands or ensembles, creativity coaching can be helpful. I know as I am a musician, songwriter/ electronic composer who is just like you making her way in the world. I was struggling with a lot of inner turmoil and found Eric Maisels work, (The Van Gogh Blues, Fearless Creating, Coaching the Artist Within), world renowned Creativity Coach. I was so impressed I did the beginners and Advanced creativity coaching training programs with him and have studied creative arts therapies and Bachelor Creative Industries Hons- Music Major

HOW CAN CREATIVITY COACHING HELP ME?

We will explore the what, how, when, where, and why of the creative life as it relates to musicians. Whatever you need help with is what we will tackle. If you are struggling, need a mentor, a sounding board, a confidant, a projects advisor, a creative hand, a creativity coach can fulfil all those functions and more. Together we can look at your musical life and what is getting in the way of you living your dreams. From physical and medical issues, (which I have a lot of personal experience with) to mental emotional problems, to spiritual matters or resource based -worldly issues. Issues of Self identity, issues of meaning and purpose, of skill, or body.  Performance Anxiety and strategies to overcome it.

For eg, your latest song is doing your head in, you just can't get the arrangement right and you need perspective after working on it for three weeks. A recent accident or Illness has sidelined your plans and you are having to find new ways to do what you used to so easily. How do you overcome the resultant frustrations and anger that can come with restricted mobility or hampered movement, or chronic fatigue?

You haven't performed in a while and need help to muster the courage to get back out there but don't know where to begin that journey.
Vocally you are ok, but your body is giving you a hard time because of illness or anxiety and you are struggling to get past the frog in the throat or the tears that come. Every time you want to sing you become overcome with emotion.

Self sabotage patterns keeep rising up and preventing you from making any progress, the critic within killing off any new work before it has a chance to emerge.

A littany of Inner doubts and insecurities prevent you from committing to your journey despite it being your one great love.


At school you were told you were no good, but now you want to give it another go because deep down you know you can do it and have something special to offer.

Musicians  often need a different sort of coaching,  with the issues that relate to their craft. My goal as  your Coach is to assist you to live the creative life of your dreams through 1 on 1 work, Coaching by correspondence viia skype , email or in person. I also have a correspondence course that may help structure your work.

ABOUT ME

I am a fellow multi modal artist just like you. I have trained in Transpersonal Counselling and Art Therapy,  Creativity Coaching with Eric Maisel, and a number of other things. I am a singer Songwriter /Composer,performer, and recording artist , I hold Bachelor of creative Arts Industries Music and performance majors, Hons in music composition .I would love to help you be all that you can be, because tit is a tough and lonely road . I am also a contributing writer to Erics World Saloon Section on his website.http://ericmaisel.com
