"We sing thanks to our ears" Alfred Tomatis

​

It was by accompanying famous singers with voice impairments, recommended by his father, Humbert Danté Tomatis, a famous lyric singer, that Alfred Tomatis established that vocal distortion always accompanied hearing failure. The loss of the frequency range in a singers' listening tests were closely associated with the range of frequencies they could not produce when they sang. He discovered that the "musical ear" which designates the possibility of singing in tune and appreciating the accuracy of a sound, is able to perceive and analyse the entire sound spectrum with speed and precision. It has the ability to discriminate between sounds of different frequencies (selectivity), as well as to locate a sound precisely in space, both in air conduction and in bone conduction (auditory spatialisation). Finally, the right ear should lead.

​

When the ear acquires the ability to properly process sound, its attention is focused on selecting the sounds it wants to hear and removing the unwanted ones.

The program for singers and musicians:

The Audio Psycho Phonology program for musicians and singers includes the use of high frequency filters that attenuate low frequencies, allowing the singer to tune to higher harmonics. This produces better vocal control and allows musicians to improve accuracy and precision, both in analysis and in instrumental performance.

​

​

The observed results:

• improved coordination, balance and posture, concentration, memory and attention

• increased listening skills which leads to improved performance potential

• stage fright is turned into positive awareness

• brings greater awareness of body image which results in better control of arms, wrists, hands and           fingers, essential for pianists, as well as string players, and other musicians

• strong stage presence and improved self-confidence

• improved sense of rhythm, intonation, timbre, volume and pitch of your singing voice

• increased sensitivity of sound perception
