Please answer as briefly and accurately as possible. The purpose of the questions is that you express exact knowledge, not that you use your imagination to present a long analysis of what the answer “could” be. We wish educated vocal therapists to use the same method, so that when we can recommend clients to you, that are interested in Githa Ben-David’s singing method.

The purpose of these questions is evaluation and that you will know this method. Please find the missing answers by reading The Note from Heaven and Vocal Sound healing with The Note from Heaven afterwards in The Ultimate Book on Vocal Sound Healing (Tonen fra himlen, Syng dig Fri og Lyd er Liv). The questions concerning personal experiences and Hung Song are included in Heal the Pineal and “Help”. Can be found online in githabendavid.dk 
If you cannot answer a question from the books then bring your question to the monthly free meeting of Vocal Sound Therapists- the last Thursday every month 8-9 PM Central European time in jitsi-meet roomname Thenotefromheaven
