Level 1 – Sound for Wellbeing (CPD Training)
Foundations of Playing and Sound Awareness for Wellbeing Contexts
A one-day experiential training exploring how sound is experienced within the body, and how it may support or unsettle in wellbeing contexts.
This small-group training offers a practical introduction to working with sound through guided listening, gentle instrument playing, and responsive exploration.
No prior musical experience is required.
About this Training
This training introduces sound as a relational and sensory practice, rather than a performance skill or fixed technique.
Participants explore both listening and playing, developing confidence in approaching instruments as tools for awareness, responsiveness, and connection.
Through guided exploration, you will:
- Develop confidence in playing and listening
- Explore sound as a sensory and embodied experience
- Understand how sound may influence nervous system response
- Work with pacing, volume, and sensitivity
- Begin to recognise when to use sound and when not to use sound
The focus is on building strong foundations, supporting a thoughtful and grounded approach to working with sound in both personal and professional contexts.
Elements of this work are further supported through the Sound Space Connect® framework, introduced within shorter CPD training formats, as a practical approach to understanding and responding to sound in everyday environments.
Who This Training Is For
This training is suitable for:
- Qualified and insured wellbeing practitioners wishing to integrate sound within their existing scope of practice
- Professionals working in wellbeing, community, or supportive settings
- Individuals exploring sound for personal practice and self-care
