In general, International weekly courses in Vocal Sound Therapy have the same structure, but the online groups are much smaller (5-12 participants) than at the physical courses (15-28 participants) The level of the participants is generally taken into account. This means that if it is a group with many fourth-time participants and or beginners, the level will be raised/lowered and or the group will be divided into two groups in parts of the teaching.
Since there are also workshops lasting 2-5 days around the world, lectures, Monday sound healings as well as weekly singing groups, self-study groups, online webinars, edited webinars and films for self-study, it is up to a participant to decide if they wish to take an exam and or feel ready for it. The entrance requirements, which include a minimum of 30 documented cases with different clients, good results, guarantee that the applicant already has experience in the field. If you are unsure about this, you can ask about it at a course. You must feel free as a fish in the method.
Previously, the minimum requirements for taking the exam were 4 week courses in the basic education, but this has now changed because some work through self-study and or have participated in several different events online, weekend courses, students courses and so on.
Participants in a week-long course have different levels and only get the tasks they feel ready for, as it varies how much the individual has practiced between the courses. At each physical week-long course there are beginners, 2nd, 3rd and 4th time participants. Those who have participated in more than one week of training are called “skilled participants” and can, if they have the courage, prepare well and try to instruct in warming up, breathing, the Tone from Heaven. In addition, those who feel ready are given greater responsibility in therapy situations. This means that in group work there will, as far as possible, always be a “skilled one” who supports the beginners. In this way, you train to become a therapist.
There is always either Githa Ben-David and/or an assistant teacher who looks at the groups during the training. It is our experience that in-depth practice of The Note from Heaven and Hung Song first on yourself, then in Vocal Sound Therapy treatment of clients is the prerequisite for later being able to lead a group. You do not start leading a group without first having had clients one-on-one and feeling comfortable with it.
