Many trials trials were undertaken for the Tomatis Therapy with works by other composers, and it turned out that the use of Mozart's music had the same acceptance and amazing effect all over the world . In fact, the works of Mozart are equally well received in every country and allow so to rediscover the inner balance during listening training. According to classical music, there should be a balance between rhythm, harmony and melody, the three essential components of music. Mozart has this ideal balance, which probably explains the universal character of his music. Another accompanying aspect is that Mozart's inner rhythm is 0.5 seconds, which corresponds to a heartbeat of 120 per minute and thus corresponds to that of a newborn.

 

In addition to the music of Mozart, Gregorian chants are also used in Tomatis Therapy. The chorale does not correspond to the rhythm of the heart, but more to the rhythm of breathing. Gregorian chant brings the breathing and the heartbeat into harmony and is caused by the richness of overtones_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_You an energetic charging of the cerebral cortex. The chorales have a particularly calming effect and are recommended for people who are anxious.

 

 A. Tomatis decided to use filtered tones, which support the ear in its task of distinguishing tones. With filtering up to around 4000 Hertz, the brain can process acoustic perceptions. Hearing even more highly filtered sound is a prenatal experience, but that doesn't mean the fetus can't hear low frequencies as well. According to A. Tomatis, the reason why the ear is functional so early in embryonic development lies in its task of stimulating the developing nervous system. To take advantage of the ear's prenatal capabilities, A. Tomatis decided to use filtered tones to help the ear distinguish tones. In addition, high-frequency sounds stimulate the nervous system far more than low-frequency ones. In fact, the cilia (hair cells) that are stimulated by hearing are much more numerous in the areas that can receive high-frequency sounds than in those responsible for low frequencies.
