Jorge Zain
He holds a bachelor’s degree in Music Therapy from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina. He presented his thesis entitled “The use of singing bowls as a vibroacoustic resource in Receptive Music Therapy” at the XII World Congress of Music Therapy held in Buenos Aires, 2008. As a result of the interest shown by fellow music therapists as well as professionals from other disciplines, he has studied this Vibroacoustic Approach in depth from both theoretical and methodological aspects, introducing it to students and professional therapists. He coordinates the update course on this approach for health professionals, providing theoretical knowledge, practical experience, instructional sessions and supervision space.
He organised the “First Congress of Vibroacoustic Therapy” in December 2011 in which several music therapists trained on this therapeutic method presented clinical cases of interest for different disciplines.
In December 2012 he organised the “II Congress of Vibroacoustic, Music and Sound Therapy”. It was attended by professionals who are nowadays seriously working with different vibroacoustic approaches in Argentina and Brazil. Scientific work and clinical cases were presented and experiential workshops were carried out.
