According to teacher, performer, and composer Kay Gardner, everything in the universe vibrates. Music could be defined as organized, intentional sound. We are just beginning to realize what ancient cultures knew all along — music is a healing force. Gardner relates the seven chakras to specific vibrational notes, vowel sounds, colors, scents, and gemstones.
The backbone of this audio presentation is a discussion and demonstration of the nine healing elements of music (intent, drone, repetition, harmonics, rhythm, harmony, melody, instrumental colors, and form). Gardner's expansive knowledge of this area of human endeavor shines through her explanations of toning baths, the music of the spheres, the law of octaves, the female aesthetic in music, and the "golden section" in nature and composition. A 13-page study guide accompanies this 12-session curriculum. Each listener can use Gardner's suggestions for healing with music for specific ailments.
