2009 Master Class students |
Mitch's Master Classes have evolved over the years into the most comprehensive study in the world today. The main difference
between this course of study and the others, is a total commitment to Singing Bowls. Not a part time study that incorporates
other instruments mixed in, expressing a modality that incorporates Singing Bowls, but a 90 hour syllabus completely focused
on Singing Bowls. Most Singing Bowl training programs are simply a version of a so called sound healing class. What can you
possibly learn in an environment like that, where the Singing Bowl is just one element?

2010 Master Class students |
Over the years, many of Mitch's students have gone on to start businesses around Singing Bowls, or enhanced their already
existing practice by integrating them in to it. Can you imagine how quickly your abilities accelerate when you commit to a
90 hour program that incorporates numerous demonstrations, concise easy to understand direction and mentoring; information
that spans thousands of years through many cultures, that is presented in a refreshing interpretation easily grasped? Throw
in science, philosophy, and on going developments in psychology and human development, and you have a course of study that
is unmatched in present times.
