We will work with the EMwave biofeed back tool and learn how to reach physiological coherence while playing and singing, as well as experimenting with bringing our patients into coherence; 3) Exploring the Ah Breath technique developed by Stephen & Ondrea Levine which will enhance your understanding of the breath and enhance your ability to work with your patient's breath musically.
