What are the qualities of a good sound practitioner?
All wellness practitioners need to do their own regular practice that includes self-reflections. Being aware of our own “stuff” and how to process it is essential.
A good sound practitioner also needs to be a good listener to create a safe and professional space in which clients can explore their therapeutic journey without fear or anxiety.
Anyone working with sound should have a good relationship with their instruments too as no two instruments are ever identical. This comes with practice and musical knowledge.
The final element is that practitioner should have had in depth, professional training. This helps them know which playing techniques create certain sounds and how to create a sound session that “lives and breathes” rather than one that falls flat.
We ensure that any BAST alumni leave our training courses fully ready for the world of sound with a host of safe, practiced, therapeutic practices under their belt.
