*Unfortunately, she (Callas) did not complete the training because she was afraid to renege on a trip she had planned on the yacht of Aristotle Onassis. However, Maria Callas was the only singer who came to my office announcing that she could no longer control her singing with her right ear.” Alfred Tomatis - The Ear and the Voice.
Trailer for the film La chambre de Mariana, where the French actress Mélanie Thierry who undertook the Tomatis Method® for the Ukrainian language and spoke Ukrainian in the film.
If a singer has a faulty technique, they can actually traumatise their own ear with these extreme dB levels. Only a refined technique and training can prevent hearing damage. Good technique protects the ear!
Tomatis's work led him to explain how the ear relates to the brain in singing, music making, and by extension to the creative process.
Later, Tomatis worked with children and today, Tomatis Consultants all over the world work with ADHD and Autism.
