Learning the Right Way. No Shortcuts!

Our Sound Healing Academy Training Includes

In this segment, we will explore the behavior of sound, as well as its properties and characteristics. Understanding these fundamentals is a key element for deeper listening skills and mindfully working with sound when it is considered a healing tool.

This section presents the essential knowledge of the building blocks of music. It is designed to help sound healing practitioners of all levels to understand how sound becomes music. This segment takes you into the logic behind the concepts and principles of music composition.

When a person recognizes an acoustical signal, that signal arrives at the ear as a mechanical sound wave, but within the ear, sound is translated and transformed. In this segment of our sound therapy training, we discuss the mental, psychological and physical processing of the acoustical signals.

This segment will guide you through an in-depth exploration of the internal rhythms of the human body, detailing how natural cycles operate and their significance. Additionally, it will examine the influence of rhythmic sound stimuli on our emotional, mental, and physical states. By understanding these interactions, you will gain valuable insights into how rhythm can be used to promote well-being and harmony in your life.

This segment covers the history and types of Himalayan singing bowls, also known as Tibetan singing bowls. It includes the author’s personal stories, debunks common myths, and provides guidance on distinguishing between modern and antique bowls, choosing and maintaining your instrument, and comparing metal and crystal singing bowls. You'll also explore the impact of a bowl's geometry on its sound and other interesting topics.

This segment explores the art and science of playing and assembling a coherent set of singing bowls; understanding what they offer, and how to get the full potential out of them. These instruments each have their own strengths and subtle nuances. Here we bring together the information presented in the previous segments and look at the application of sound therapy through the use of singing bowls.

In sound healing field, some practitioners call themselves "Gong Masters" and use a master-slave dynamic, which exposes audiences to potentially harmful sounds. Our training focuses on proper etiquette and techniques for interacting with gongs. This course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to be respected by both the gong and your audience, ensuring a safe and effective sound healing experience.

Practitioners use a number of different instruments and tools to create soundscapes for their sound healing journeys and sound baths. Like with all instruments, it is important to understand the underlying principles of how the sounds are made and transmitted. You will learn these instruments and how to use them thoughtfully.

Group sound bath sessions showcase the sound healing worker's skills in understanding themselves, their instruments, and how to craft a sound journey for listeners. Setting up the physical space where the session takes place requires attention to aesthetics, acoustics, and distractions. Preparing the participants before a class begins in a number of important ways. Equally vital is knowing things to avoid during group sessions.

The civilizations of ancient Greece and Egypt placed profound importance on the concept of sound, viewing it not just as a sensory stimulus but as a deeply mystical element embedded within their cultural, philosophical, and spiritual practices. In this bonus segment, you will learn about the esoteric properties of sound. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to explore prevalent theories in the realm of sound healing, honing your critical thinking skills to discerningly embrace or approach them with skepticism.

Learn how to generate a steady income, attract high-paying clients, and expand your offerings while staying true to your mission. From structuring your business and securing profitable gigs to leveraging digital marketing and Google Local Business, this segment covers every essential step you need to take to build a rewarding and financially viable sound healing career.

Sound Healing Training Reviews

I researched a lot before I signed up for Guy's training. I chose his training because he was very responsive, professional, had a transparent curriculum and he made it clear he was available anytime to answer questions. I really enjoyed the depth of his knowledge in music theory. I loved how much he conveys his love for the Himalayan Singing Bowls in this course, shares his personal journey with them and teaches us all about their true beauty and uniqueness. He kept his word and was always available to speak with over text, email or phone calls. I also love that even though I have completed my training I have access to this information forever :) He truly teaches us to play with clear hearts, true intention and connection with our audience.

Yoga Teacher / Sound Healing Teacher (Utah, USA)

My interest in sound healing began during a backpacking trip to Nepal, where sound helped me manage anxiety and inspired me to support others with similar struggles. With a scientific mindset, Guy’s approach helped me understand the real reasons behind the calm I felt abroad. Psychoacoustics were the biggest takeaway, along with a solid understanding of instruments, techniques, and sound science. The course is rich and thorough—take your time with it. The one-on-one Zoom sessions were incredibly helpful, and I now feel confident sharing what I’ve learned. Also, Guy’s support in selecting singing bowls and gongs was absolutely priceless.

Matt B. (PA USA)
Massage Therapist / Reiki Master / Sound Healing

This course is an abundance of knowledge, insights and love for singing bowls, shared with generosity, and honesty by Guy Yair Beider. Theory, science and practice are going hand by hand in well-formulated chapters revealing the author's broad experience with sound work. Taking the "Sound Healing Teacher Training" course leaves me well informed and inspired working in the field that I was struggling to find reliable and practical knowledge. Currently, I find myself at a higher level of understanding, confident, and better grounded in the approach to my own sound work, as well as my ongoing love life with singing bowls.

Lisbeth Busk-Johansen
Sound Meditation Facilitator (Denmark)

Guy opened an entirely new world of sound to me. His knowledge is vast, and his teaching grounded in both science and intuitive understanding. Before studying with him, I had spent £2300 on two courses with a well-known school, yet left with more questions than answers. I was frustrated by vague, "just trust your intuition" advice. A friend from another school had the same issue — no real grasp of harmony or dissonance, just hitting bowls and assigning chakras blindly.
With Guy, everything changed. His method is clear, practical, and deeply insightful. He taught me how to listen consciously and use sound for genuine healing. His course is so thorough, I didn’t need to look elsewhere.

Marina
Sound Healing and Theta Healing Practitioner (UK)

Guy Yair Beider is a core teacher in my development as a sound therapy practitioner. He has thoughtfully guided my approach and ethos during a time when my work has expanded into larger groups. While some teachers tend towards theory, and others more towards practicum, Guy blends both with wisdom, humor, and a heart the size of a bus. One of the things you come away with when studying with him is his love of the instruments, and the way he cares for the soundscape. His approach is grounded in deep experience, and he has a clear eye for any unnecessary baggage the student may be carrying. I've learned so much from Guy, and enjoyed it!

Rudi Bach
Sound Meditation Facilitator at Kripalu Center (MA, USA) / High School Teacher

Though I wasn’t new to singing bowls, I had no idea how many types there are, how to choose them for synergy, or how to use them effectively for meditation and therapy Guy blends science, art, and a touch of mysticism, presenting the material with clarity and depth. He explains sound dynamics and pitch intervals step by step, helping me understand how to create the sounds I was seeking and choose the right bowls. He also debunks common myths—especially those used in sales—and supports learning with top-quality videos, links, and interactive exercises that make complex ideas easy to grasp. This class gave me practical tools, deeper understanding, and real inspiration. I’m truly grateful for this beautifully designed course!

Lee R. H.
Sound Meditation Facilitator (NC, USA)

Such an informative and practical, well-structured course! While I was studying sound healing in the UK, I came up with so many questions that were remaining unanswered. Now I understand why my path has brought me to you. I gained so much knowledge, wisdom, and awareness. I wish everyone searching for a reliable sound therapy education to take this course or at least to have an opportunity to listen to you. Our Zoom meetings were the highlights (all of them)! Guy, you are an amazing sound worker, incredibly wise teacher, and one of the most radiant souls I know. Your “Sound Healing Teacher Training” course should become a standard for the sound healing community. This course was a real deal!

Lucy C.
Single Mom / Performer / Sound Healing Teacher (UK)

Highly recommend Sound Healing Teacher’s Training, All the segments were given clearly and enjoyable. I’ve learned a lot of new information as well as adopted new practice techniques. I received lots of support from my tutor Guy who is an incredible master of sound and human communication! I loved both, the self-teaching part of the program and complementing Zoom conversations with Guy.
My concerns about taking a class ONLINE seem to be completely irrelevant after receiving so much from Sound Medicine Academy. Also, the certificates I gained over the years with other sound healing schools are just NOTHING in comparison to the practical knowledge, wisdom and inspiration I absorbed from Guy.

Lily R.
MD / Sound Healing Facilitator (CA, USA)

I grew up with traditional Chinese medicine, but after being diagnosed with MCS, my healing journey felt nearly impossible. My immune system was wrecked, and I became hypersensitive to chemicals. Discovering Ayurvedic medicine eventually led me to sound healing.
Studying at Sound Medicine Academy taught me how sound activates specific areas in the body, helping me target where I needed healing most. While it hasn’t returned me to who I was, it’s given me a deeper understanding of my body and how to care for it. Thank you, Guy, for your knowledge and kindness — you've truly improved my quality of life and understanding of energy.

Meet the Founder of the Sound Medicine Academy

My name is Guy Yair Beider. For many years, I sought a practice to become a better version of myself and help others. In 2007, I discovered the sound of Himalayan singing bowls. The first time I heard their complex simplicity, I was mesmerized. I knew right away I had to learn all about these instruments. I became certified in sound healing at two schools, but much of what I learned didn't resonate with me. I was searching for knowledge everywhere. YouTube videos of people loudly striking sacred instruments made me doubtful. Drawn to the subtle beauty of sound, I committed to exploring and sharing it. I bought several singing bowls and began gently playing hypnotic sequences for individuals and groups. The bowls and my audience became my best teachers. To better understand my instruments, I explored their acoustical properties and delved into musicology, physics, psychoacoustics, and psychology. I began to truly feel and understand what was happening. Since 2010, I've conducted hundreds of sound journeys and witnessed real miracles in my audience. These experiences inspire and motivate me to share my expertise with you. I undertake this mission with humility, honor, and responsibility.
