Monochord therapy is a sound healing method. We place the instrument gently on the chest or back while the client lies comfortably in a relaxed position. The therapist plays the instrument continuously for about 30–40 minutes. The monochord’s unique vibrations, tones, and harmonic layers have a deeply calming and relaxing effect. It can support self-reflection, helping us process our current life situation.
Monochord therapy is also beneficial for stress relief, sleep support, and pain reduction.
Another option is to use the monochord in guided musical improvisation. Its sound blends beautifully with the human voice and melodic instruments, making it ideal for co-creating music. This offers a shared experience of sound, connection, and creative expression.
