Structure of the Education
The form of the Vocal Sound Therapy Training is based on blocks of 7-day courses, where there are a maximum of 28 participants on each course. All basic week courses have the same structure (beside the ones with 12 meridians and the 8 Extras), but the participants have different tasks in relation to their level.
On-line weekly courses apply on an equal footing with the physical courses. However, to become a good Lydteapeut, you must have participated in at least one physical course. It is recommended to participate both physically and online, as both types of courses have advantages. For example, you learn to treat over the internet or over the phone on on-line courses. This provides flexibility in terms of practicing and meeting after the training week. In addition, you will be able to treat clients from all over the world.
You register one week at a time and organize yourself how quickly you want to take the next course. After a minimum of four week courses, you should be ready to do treatments, but it varies depending on your practical experience and or enthusiasm. It is recommended that at least one of the weekly courses is an online course and or a meridian course. The two last mentioned courses are mandatory to be considered as an Online Teacher in “Vocal Wellness with The Note from Heaven and Hung song”. 
Homework between the weekly courses: Wocal Wellness/Vocal Sound Therapy on your own, in groups or with guinea pigs.
We are happy to mediate contact with on-line practice groups. Merete Vestergård has e.g. 4 weekly meetings: 2 in Danish and 2 in English, which you can sign up for. In addition, we have a monthly online gathering on the last Thursday of the month at 20-21 at jitsi meet. It is important that you sign up as a therapist on the newsletter on githabendavid.dk, as you will get a link to the meetings here. The meetings are free for Vocal Sound Therapy students.
Introduction to the programme
The foundation of Githa Ben-David’s education in Vocal Sound Therapy is based on her books, 38 years of practical work, as well as the experiences her students/sound healing groups/previous training teams have contributed and still contribute with over the years.
The education is based on devotion to and unfolding of the individual’s authentic voice, ‘The Tone from Heaven’. The students unfold the true potential of their voice and feel connected to a unified field where the past, future and present are united. In this field, trauma can be dissolved. Each participant releases the healing qualities of their voice. There are no two identical voices. The work is based on a method where play and seriousness play together, and where the truth as a well-considered response is paramount.

Payment for the week course (7 days including food and accommodation in double rooms, sauna…)

The full price for a one-week course is 11,200 DKK, which must be paid no later than 1 month before the start of the course.
We have dropped the deposit and shortened the payment deadline to avoid too much accounting.
