Recommended for educators, musicians, music-lovers, facilitators, therapists & healing practitioners, this three level program focuses on various aspects of musical development with attention given to each participant’s goals and aspirations.

Each year of training is divided into three modules. Each module includes a series of online Zoom meetings once a month and the opportunity to attend in-person events offered by the regional programs in Montreal and Syracuse as well as Music for People’s weekends and events.
