“Sintonia” is an Italian expression meaning “in tune with”, either in a musical or figurative sense. This idea sets the stage for our wellness-artist-researcher studio’s raison d’être: thriving through tuning in to our inner and outer worlds. Listening is our passion, and involves so much more than ears. We cultivate practices that support the development of the Third Ear and all the benefits it can bring to one’s life.
Sintonia Studio bring decades of expertise in professional music creativity and performance, mind-body-music research, and Deep Listening practice to apply to challenging, surprising, and everyday applications. Our projects vary greatly but all center on using listening, sound, and music to enhance well-being and connection.
