LEVEL 2 Information: Students should bring notebook, pens, waterbottle, and camera. There is NO tape recording. It is not
necessary to bring bowls with you, however, the Studio has a large selection of genuine antiques for sale, so if your looking
to match something to your own personal bowls, you may want to bring them. The Level 2 is the academic examination of Singing
Bowls, prepare for a lot of note taking.
LEVEL 3 Information: Students are encouraged to bring their own Singing Bowls for the Utilization and Application part
of this program. This program is all about gaining experience, through demonstrations and guidance. Another aspect is to see
each students ' tools of use '. Singing Bowls that do not sing together, simply are not effective as a set that does. Mitch
will evaluate each student's sound tools. Students that have graduated through Mitch's program are invited back to show how
they do sessions to the new students presently engaged in the program. These are valuable demonstrations, and very helpful
to see what other's are doing.
LEVEL 4 Information: Mitch will personally show techniques, layouts, configurations, and perform actual session work.
He has been doing this probably longer than anyone else in the world living today. This answer's the question " what
and how does he conduct sessions?" Students receive their Certificates.
As a final note: Throughout the program, demonstrations are conducted by Mitch and some of his other students. There are
also special guests that may show up. Each Master Class program is a little different than the others, and unique to the students
that are in the class. Student mentoring is conducted throughout all Master Class levels. Audio Tape, Film, Video, Telephone
Recording is not permitted. Students are encouraged to take STILL IMAGES only. Studio 116 has a wide selection of genuine
antique bowls in their inventory for sale. Students looking to add to their collections are encouraged to come in early to
evaluate bowls. There is NEVER any pressure to buy, and students should not feel obligated to make any purchases.
