Holistic Music Healing

The concept of holistic healing through music is an ancient idea. In his original workshops and seminars usually geared for adults, Andy Wasserman creates an atmosphere of comfortability and ease that allows people to relax and get engaged in music making, whether or not they have any prior experience in music. The ambience of Andy's music presentations address the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels of each participant as an individual.

He offers a wide range of program possibilities, based upon what a group, organization or meeting is looking to achieve and integrate into their event. Very often Andy is called upon for celebrations marking the calendar such as the equinox and solstice times. He provides music for conferences and meetings where music acts as a bridge to bring people together, open new avenues of communication and group consciousness, allowing each person to freely explore an individual sense of self-expression.

The healing element of these workshops, which Andy has been conducting in public and private settings since 1976, comes into play with the use of his authentic ethnic instruments from around the world. These instruments bring with them a strong connection to the Earth and to a built in primal energy where it is the music in us that hears and plays the music. Wasserman's work is living proof that music making is everyone's birthright, and when people join in the wonderous act of music making, music is a voice for unity.

Playing music is about listening, and improving listening skills helps people heal by learning to become better listeners to extramusical things: listening to their heart, their bodies, mother nature, other people, etc.

Participation in music through Andy's workshops and seminars helps people to the mind and calmi the nerves. There is more scientific proof than ever that music making is one of the healthiest outlets for self-expression, creativity and joy - which facilitate a state of healing and health. A new video documentary produced for PBS TV explores these ideas deeply and is testament to the core ideas and concepts that Andy has been doing in this field. Read more about this video HERE.

Private Sessions

Andy Wasserman works with people in music sessions as well as private lessons as part of his holistic music healing experience.

Private music sessions are usually scheduled on a single appointment basis with the option for repeat visits. They are open to anyone who feels that a one-on-one music session using any wind, string or percussion instrument of their choice can assist them in as part of a holistic therapy regimen.

Music lessons are set up on a weekly basis, yet geared to students who not work best with a "regular" music teacher. As part of his weekly schedule of teaching instrumental music to private students, Andy sees some children, teens and adults on a regular basis where playing music and learning an instrument is an integrated part of their overall therapeutic regimen.

Children, teens and adults with a wide range of special needs gain a great sense of accomplishment, growth and healing from private music sessions.
