Practitioner-level work within my teaching is currently being carefully re-envisioned to reflect a more embodied, relational, and ethically grounded approach to working with sound.

Embodied Sound Practice: Practitioner Diploma is intended as a process of practitioner formation rather than a prescriptive training programme. The emphasis is on listening, response, responsibility, and context, with learning shaped through lived practice, reflective inquiry, and case-based exploration rather than fixed techniques, formulas, or standardised delivery.

This practitioner diploma is not an entry-level course and will not be offered as a linear progression from foundational learning. Entry, when the programme opens, will be selective and guided by readiness, professional context, and mutual discernment rather than the completion of specific levels or requirements.

For those who have completed Level 1, the current next offering is Reflective Mentoring. Reflective mentoring provides deeper, individualised support for integrating sound within existing personal or professional contexts and offers space for discernment around future directions of practice. It is a complete offering in its own right and does not guarantee or promise access to practitioner-level diploma study.

At present, enrolment for Embodied Sound Practice: Practitioner Diploma is not open, while this work is being shaped to ensure it aligns fully with the values of embodied practice, ethical responsibility, paced integration, and appropriate scope.

Current offerings focus on:

• Foundational courses in sound awareness and responsive playing

• Reflective mentoring for experienced practitioners seeking deeper embodied and ethical engagement with sound

Those interested in practitioner-level formation are welcome to stay in touch as this work develops, or to explore whether reflective mentoring may be appropriate at this stage.
