". . . the principal role of the ear in listening, in dispensing energy to the nervous system and in controlling the act of singing, the alignments which are necessary for singing, bone conduction and its role in vocal quality and in ease of vocal production, and vowels, which are key to ease in singing. . . . it is the brain that does the singing."

–Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis, "The Ear and the Voice"

HOW IT WORKS

Like a Gym for the Ear!

By listening to carefully processed music using dynamic frequency ranges and sound movement techniques, the muscles of the middle ear become exercised and strengthened, and the ear drum becomes taut, restoring and normalizing the way you process and integrate sensory information. Missing frequencies from your listening spectrum are revived and balanced allowing the body's homeostastis to be achieved and maintained.

ABOUT DR. ALFRED A. TOMATIS

AlfredTomatis.jpg
  • The Ear Stimulates and Charges the Brain (food for thought)

  • There is a Feedback Loop that Links the Ear with the Voice.

  • The Voice can Only Reproduce what the Ear can Distinguish. This is called "The Tomatis Effect."

  • If we Supply Missing Frequencies, the Voice will Immediately Reflect this Change.

  • We can Restore hearing by Retraining the Muscles of the Middle ear when the loss is functional in nature.

  • In Addition to Hearing by Air Waves, one also Hears by the Vibration of Bone Conduction Throughout the Body.

  • The Bones of the middle ear function to protect against loud noises.

  • The Right Ear is the leading ear for phonation.

  • Every Foreign Language has its own Frequency Range

  • The Fetus at 4.5 months has a Fully Functioning Ear and can Hear the Mother's Voice through Bone Conduction.

  • The Ear is Connected to Every Organ of the Body through The Vagus Nerve

  • There is an Ideal Frequency Listening Curve (see above)

  • Singing is one of the best things one can do for good health.
