TESTIMONIALS
A dear friend of mine recommended Vibrational Academy of Sound Therapy's (VAST) Children's Sound Workshop for my special needs 7 year old son. I was so surprised how much Dr. Dean Telano and the teachers helped him with focus, and lessened his anxiety. Their methods not only included sound instruments, but also specific breathing techniques and yoga movements. My son loved the yoga, especially the 'animal' yoga postures and the fun sounds that go along with them! He has been able to better control his emotions and looks forward to coming to future workshops. Thank you, VAST and Dr. Dean Telano!

MY 10 year old son was struggling in school, not being able to focus, losing confidence in himself and becoming depressed. I'm a big\believer in holistic avenues first, before medications, so when I saw VAST "Children's Sound Workshop", and read the benefits of how the sound of instruments can help children, I decided to give it a try and register my son in the VAST: Vibrational Academy of Sound Therapy. After just a few workshops, my son's focus and concentration has improved, his grades have significantly improved and he has gained self confidence; thereby, much happier! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Dr. Dean Telano and the Kind Karma Gongsters!

Highly recommend VAST "Children's Sound Workshop"! Being a music teacher, I wanted my two girls (9 year old twins) to experience different sound instruments such as the gongs. Not only did they love playing the gongs and many other instruments, their listening skills improved, they became more relaxed, positive and had so much fun! One of my girls has asthma and the breathing techniques that were taught has greatly helped her. She now has less anxiety of not being able to breathe properly. Thank you Dr. Dean Telano and the Kind Karma Gongsters. Vibrational Academy of Sound Therapy is incredible!
