The Listening ProgramMusic For Your Mind

"Most people recognize the power of music to comfort and heal and many have already discovered it’s therapeutic benefits though they’re own experiences” Scientific research demonstrates what many people already know:  Certain music helps to accelerate learning, focus attention, and enhance health.  Music can in fact affect our state of mind. Every part of our being is capable of responding to music. So it makes sense that one can use music to strengthen the body, mind and spirit.
 
Music enhances how we think, reason and create.  The music and arrangement techniques contained in these recordings are unparalleled in their sophisticated approach to the therapeutic application of music and sound. These recordings are designed to improve ear and brain function while providing a delightful listening experience. While each CD offers unique benefits, a primary objective is to insulate the listener from noise pollution and enhance mental function.
Sound Health® Series
Specially selected baroque/classical repertoire and original compositions, resonant recording environments, acoustic instrumentation, and music tempos in appropriate beats-per-minute further enhance the natural benefits we realize by listening to beautiful, high quality classical music.

TLP Extension - Sensory Integration Classic  CD 
An optional add-on for The Listening Program, the Sensory Integration CD helps develop the brain's organization of sensory input. Can also be used as preliminary training for the child with sound sensitivities or  difficulties with headsets.


TLP Extension - Speech & Language Integration CD 
An optional add-on for The Listening Program, this CD focuses on the Language Zone, and involves sound frequencies related to receptive language, speech, melody, pitch, auditory memory, voice modulation and control.

The Listening Program®
A sound stimulation auditory therapy program consisting of eight specially developed Compact Discs (CDs) conveniently bound together with the 9-part Instructional Guidebook and Listening Journal.  Each CD contains four progressive segments that are 15 minutes each. Re-arranged, specially engineered classical music and nature sounds comprise the listening content.  The arrangements are treated with "filtering" and "gating" at gradually increasing levels through the course of the eight CD series.  These techniques are the basis for the therapy process.  The basic listening schedule calls for two 15-minute segments of headphone listening per day, 5 days a week, for a period of 8 weeks.  It can be completed at home, at school, or in the office.



The Listening Program benefits people of all ages starting as young as age two. (Early auditory stimulation is crucial to a child's cognitive and language development). It's not common knowledge that auditory skills relate to a great many other areas of our lives. The most obvious ones are having academic struggles, difficulties with speech and communications, and problems remembering what they hear. The specialized extensions to the Listening program are  high-quality audio CDs that integrate specially produced acoustic music, primarily classical, with innovative sound processing techniques. 

Sensory Integration Classic CD 1
The Listening Program series has specialized CD's as well. The SI classic is a wonderful addition to the Listening Program. 

Some love to it play in a stereo during dinner time (It does not have to be listened to in a headset.) Some children with SI are bothered by the weight or pressure of the headset. So this is an ideal start to The Listening Program. Some parents use this  sensory integration CD to slowly build the child's tolerance to sound sensitivities or  to wearing the headphones on their heads. It contains musical selections that were recorded because they were fun, simple in structure, short, and very accessible. Focusing on all of these elements means that a child's attention can more easily be captured and maintained.

Hope, our six year old daughter loves the SI Classic CD. It can be used in time out and or to calm herself when she feels over stimulated.

Specialized- Sensory Integration Classic CD 1

Music

The music selected and recorded for Sensory Integration Classic CD 1 include compositions by Mozart, Bach, Salieri, Telemann and Lawrence


Applications

Sensory Integration Classic CD 1 stimulates the lower frequencies to help people who have problems related to the vestibular system and integration of sensory input. Although this is not an all inclusive list, issues that may be helped include: balance, movement, coordination, rhythm, body schema, left-right discrimination, spatial awareness, sensory defensiveness, hypersensitive hearing, and emotional regulation. Individuals on the autistic spectrum benefit greatly from this CD as do those who need to a better sense of their body, feeling more comfortable and grounded through the stimulation of the lower frequencies before experiencing CDs with high pass filtration such as those in The Listening Program Classic Kit. Additionally, SI Classic 1 may help with athletic ability through improved body and spatial awareness, as well as improved balance and motor integration.

Description

Sensory integration is the process of taking in information about the world around us with all our senses and from inside our own bodies. Through integrating and organizing the senses of vision, auditory, touch, movement, muscle awareness, taste, and smell, we are able to interact comfortably and efficiently in work, play and through social interaction. Broadly stated, sensory integration is the brain's organization of sensory input. As we move, touch, are touched, and place pressure on our joints and limbs, the brain is informed about the body's position in space and where our various parts are in relation to one another.

The integration of these senses allows us to move them in a coordinated fashion. Through effective sensory integration, the many parts of the nervous system work together so that a person can interact with his environment effectively and experience the joy of unconscious coordinated movement. The efficient organization of sensory input forms the foundation for all higher learning. Many problems in attention, reading and writing have their basis in poor or disorganized sensory input. 
Many interventions, therefore, address sensory integration problems by using a variety of tactile, motor and movement activities to help the organization of sensory input and function of the vestibular system. Dr. Alfred Tomatis was among the first to recognize that sound can be used to stimulate the vestibular portion of the vestibulocochlear system, and therefore the body. The vestibule is a small part of the inner ear adjoining the cochlea, which is the hearing part of the inner ear. The vestibule includes three semicircular canals, the utricle and saccule. These fluid-filled chambers have small hair cells that move in response to motion and inform the body about acceleration and deceleration movements, up and down movements, and also rotational movements. Many techniques that occupational therapists trained in sensory integration utilize are aimed at stimulating the vestibular system. SI Classic 1 incorporates sound specifically designed to help address this important integration of sensory information. Music recorded with specific emphasis in low and mid range frequencies, such as the cello and bass viola, has been used to enhance and support stimulation to and awareness of the body.

Why do The Listening Program®  CD's help?

The Listening Program® uses advantages of the plasticity factor, a term that scientists use to describe the brain's amazing ability to constantly change its structure and function in response to experiences coming in from the outside.1 The brain receives especially rich auditory stimulation, and its ability to process sound improves.

| Specialized- Speech and Language Integration Classic CD 1
Applications

Speech and Language Classic CD 1 is appropriate for enhancing receptive and expressive language, sense of melody, pitch discrimination, fluency, voice modulation and control. It may be used during reading activities, quiet or aloud at a low volume. Many find this CD very helpful to listen to prior to speaking on the phone for long periods of time, before a public speaking engagement or presentation, and while writing. It may also be used in connection with vocal exercises and may have some benefit with second language acquisition. This is a tremendous tool for voice coaches, reading and learning specialists, speech and language pathologists and those working with communication difficulties. It also proves helpful with attention, memory and concentration. Listeners may practice active listening with SL Classic 1 but may also hum, sing or explore their voice during their listening sessions. With the emphasis of the speech and language frequency band, especially with the fundamental frequencies and lower harmonics of the strings in the right channel, and reduction of volume to the left, SL Classic 1 can be useful in reinforcing right ear laterality.

 Description

The relation of the ear and language is today, undeniable. Yet it was Dr. Tomatis who discovered a simple, basic fact, just decades ago. It's known as The Tomatis Effect. The voice reproduces only what the ear hears. The Tomatis Effect is held in high regard in relation to our development of Music-Based Auditory Stimulation. Speech and Language Integration Classic CD 1 has a very significant emphasis on the frequencies fundamental to the reception and production of spoken language by focusing stimulation of the frequency zone that covers the fundamental frequencies for many languages, especially in North America. These frequencies are in the range where a person has a sense of melody in music. These frequencies affect receptive and expressive language, communication, as well as attention, memory, and control of the singing and speaking voice. The music and instrumentation were selected for qualities that compliment this portion of the sound spectrum. The string section,
flute and clarinet sing in this range of frequencies with a feeling of joy.
