Music educationMusic education

The training and development of the auditory sense ( itsreintegration after 2000 years of mental and thereforepredominately visual evolution ) is a key point in the

change of consciousness

Hearing has according to many different wisdom traditionsbeen considered the subtlest and deepest reaching senseand its growth was of prime importance in all models of

holistic education

whole range of our life long education
