Pharmacology of Sound, Music,
and Frequencies, using Traditional and Advanced Technological Approaches to
Sound Therapy and Balanced
Vibrational Living
"I Only Suggest, Once I Assess!"
Classic Title
Living a Balanced Vibrational Life!
Everything in the seen, and the unseen universe has a resonant frequency that operates at its optimum vibration. This includes every physical, emotional, and mental process. The imbalance of our frequencies can result in stress, illness, and dis-ease. Our frequencies can be brought into balance through the correct use of other beneficial frequencies, with multiple modalities such as meditation, lifestyle changes, diet, colors, flower essences, essential oils, gemstones, nutrients, as well as therapeutic uses of sound and music.
I am humbled and honored to have received a Proclamation from the City of Pittsburgh on Tuesday, May 9th, 2023, on behalf of the Honorable Mayor Ed Gainey and Melvin Hubbard El, Community Advisor to the Mayor, for my work in music and education.

It was an absolute joy to perform with such a group of dynamic and talented musicians and singers for the performance of Robert Ray's Gospel Mass at East Liberty Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, under the direction of Dr. Ed Moore!
Diverse communities of Pittsburgh celebrating the power of hope through music and spoken word.
Featuring the premiere of a work by composer Gerald Cohen and performed by Rabbi/Cantor Jeffrey Myers and the Pittsburgh Youth Chorus, especially commissioned for this event.
Alongside with Pittsburgh CAPA Vocal Department students, vocalist Anita Levels will sing songs from the Civil Rights Movement; CAPA’s Theatre Arts program students will read quotes from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and Dr. Martin Luther King; and poet Danielle Obisie-Orlu will introduce a piece she wrote for the event.
We will also recognize Kristallnacht, the night of shattered glass, which occurred on November 9, 1938, through poetry about the Holocaust by Valerie Bacharach and music by Jewish and Black American composers commissioned by the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh and performed by Pittsburgh Symphony musicians David McCarroll and
Tatjana Mead Chamis, and cellist Angela Park.
This concert was produced by Flavio Chamis and Gerald Savage.
Your voice has a lot to tell you
What's in a Voice? Everything!
Your voice represents the composite frequencies of the human body. VoiceBio captures the pattern of each emotion, organ, gland, and system. The resulting voiceprint reveals frequency patterns in the body, which allows you to not only understand the root cause of the physical-emotional energetic imbalances, but also allows you to see which areas of your body need support because of exhaustion and which areas need stimulation.
"I Only Suggest, Once I Assess"
WHAT I DO
I focus on Music, Sound, and Frequency as tools for bringing about health and energetic balance. These tools are to be used as a part of an overall focus on holistic health and wellness. The assessment portion of SoundPill is the utilization of a computer-based tool called VoiceBio, which first determines physical and emotional imbalances through voice analysis.
Although music, sounds, and frequencies are used, foods, oils, colors, stones, and nutrients are just as important. As a sound therapist, I provide various tools to help clients, and offer sessions in sound therapy, as well as lessons in voice, piano, and creative music writing for health.

Here's How It Works Assessment In
3 Easy Steps
First Step - The VoiceBio Software
Using a specially designed unidirectional microphone connected to the VoiceBio software program, you will respond to three brief questions, which will capture your composite energetic make-up.
Second Step - The Voiceprint
VoiceBio will generate your voiceprint bar graph corresponding to a range of heavy and weak areas in the body. The voiceprint serves as guide to improved health, regeneration and increased energy.
Third Step - Voiceprint Analysis and Holistic Suggestions
Once the assessment of the Voiceprint has been analyzed, you are provided with a variety of holistic suggestions for supporting and boosting weak frequencies and bringing down heavy frequencies. These are the 'Pills' of SoundPill.
Additional Support Include Holistic Practices such as:
Working with the Voice and Breath (Pranayama),
Sound Meditation, Mudras (Energetic Hand Gestures), Chakra Balancing, Mantras, Chants &
Brainwave Entrainment Using Technology of
Binaural Beats and Hemispheric Synchronization.
Binaural Beats and Brain Hemispheric Synchronization
Brainwave entrainment (BWE) is one of the most powerful, mind-enhancing tools available today. Countless studies have verified its benefits – from cognitive performance to alleviating stress, to even countering physical pain.
