The Wilson Method Teacher Training
David offers Teacher Training in The Wilson Method.
This 54-hour program (plus 180 hours self-guided homework) will be offered in 3 modules of 18 hours each. Each level will be taught online, on Zoom, over eight weeks. Each level includes a comprehensive exam - entrance to the second and third levels is at the discretion of the Teacher Trainer. The ideal candidate is one who has an extensive background in music, singing, yoga, therapeutic techniques, and is curious about how humans tick; one who is driven to understand the brain, mind, body, breath and voice on a deeper level, and finds joy in doing so. Maximum six participants per level.
