Extending the Power of Music through Psychoacoustic Treatments
Certain classical music, like that of Mozart, Haydn and Vivaldi, has specific structure, producing sound waves in organized patterns. Within these patterns are vital elements including time, frequency and volume. When listening to music, the ear is receiving the musical sound waves—waves that arrive in different frequencies, measured in Hertz (Hz). These frequencies stimulate the brain, and thus affect different functions of the mind and body.
The Listening Program’s psychoacoustically modified music and patent-pending production techniques are designed to stimulate, or “exercise,” the different functions of the auditory processing system. This enables the brain to better receive, process, store and utilize the valuable information provided through the varied soundscapes in our lives such as music, language and the environment in which we live.
Specific Frequencies for Specific Functions
The Listening Program combines decades of clinical research in several fields, including neurology, physiology,
psychoacoustics, auditory processing, music theory and more. The method builds on the work of respected leaders
in these fields, such as ear, nose and throat (ENT) physician Alfred A. Tomatis, M.D. (1920-2001). Among other
discoveries, Dr. Tomatis helped identify the relationship between certain sound frequencies and their effect on
functions of the mind and body. A simplified explanation of Dr. Tomatis’ findings shows that certain bands, or
zones, of sound frequencies affect different abilities:
Frequency Zones
- Zone One: Sensory Integration (lower frequency sounds) affect balance, rhythm, coordination, muscle tone,
body awareness, sense of direction, laterality, and right/left discrimination.
- Zone Two: Speech and Language (mid and higher frequency sounds) affect memory, concentration, attention, speech,
language, and vocal control.
- Zone Three: High Spectrum (higher frequency sounds) affect energy, intuition, ideas, ideals, spirituality,
creativity, and auditory cohesion.
TLP is designed to address these zones, systematically providing auditory stimulation that, when customized for listeners by TLP Providers, can help
improve their ability to function in a number of ways.
Listening Porgram Treatment Categories
- Sensory Integration - Targets the first zone (lower frequencies) to stimulate functions such as balance, coordination, motor skills and more.
- Full Spectrum - Provides a kind of overall “organizing” experience.
- Speech & Language - Emphasizes the mid to higher frequencies to stimulate the brain's abilities for memory, attention, vocal control and more.
- High Spectrum - Focuses on the higher frequencies that impact creativity, intuition, energy and more.
