Soundwise School of Harmonic Therapy is for the devoted student ready to commit to understanding the basics of both the art and science of sound healing, and to acquire adequate training, knowledge and experience to become a virtuous practitioner of skillful means and integrity.


Lana Ryder, Founder, Director, and Senior Instructor

OVERVIEW

The Soundwise School of Harmonic Therapy is an eight-month continuous intensive fundamental course. It meets one day in-person each month with some additional virtual content. Also, students must complete 20 "student practitioner" sessions throughout the school term and attend the Mandatory Elective: Trauma-Informed Workshop to meet graduation requirements.

You must arrive to class a few minutes ahead of time so that you have time to settle in and be ready to start on time.  Any missed time will be made up at each teacher's convenience -  If so, there may be additional fees required as tuition is based on students being in scheduled class. 


* There are no refunds for any classes cancelled less than one week prior to class.  You will be given credit towards another class or event. Our costs remain the same even if you cannot attend a class.  Tuition paid in full cannot be refunded past the third month of classes. 


If you miss a class, you may be able to schedule a make-up session if the teacher(s) is available, and there will be an additional charge to you per hourly rate per teacher. If you do not make up the missed class, you will not receive your diploma certificate until missed time is fulfilled. Only one make-up class is allowed. You must be present for the other classes.

It is recommended that you schedule an in-person interview before applying for enrollment.


This school is for anyone seriously committed to becoming a qualified, educated and virtuous sound practitioner.  


Perhaps you have been imitating what you have seen done by others and do not really understand any of the science, including precautions, about sound? 


Perhaps you only had weekend or weeklong course or only virtual classes and have realized there is so much more to learn and experience? 


Maybe you are not sure which instrument or instruments you want to learn and incorporate into your existing practice of massage, reiki, energy healing, yoga, acupuncture, health and life coaching, mental health counseling, art therapy or as a professional musician?


This school is open to any professional healthcare provider as well. Our students are from a variety of ages, backgrounds, experiences, education and lifestyles. This makes for a diverse and interesting community where we all learn from one another and appreciate differing perspectives.
