VEČERNÍ ŠKOLA CELOSTNÍ MUZIKOTERAPIE v Praze

COMPREHENSIVE MUSIC THERAPY EVENING SCHOOL is a cycle of ten evening meetings, where every month we will focus on a topic, instrument, technique or exercise, so that after completing the entire course you can use music therapy tools to harmonize, calm and relax yourself and your friends.

Write down the following dates in your diaries: 13/9, 18/10, 22/11, 13/12, 17/1, 14/2, 14/3, 11/4, 16/5 and 13/6. From September 2026, we will meet in the K3 studio on Karlov náměstí in Prague once a month on Sunday evenings.

Unrepeatable evening music-meditation meetings where you will get to know the principles of holistic music therapy (so-called musicophyletics) and ancient ethnic, spiritual, ceremonial and musical instruments, with the help of which we can harmonize the body, mind and soul, relieve stress and tension and treat various diseases and problems on a physical and psychological level. The sounds and vibrations of these instruments help us shift our attention from the mind to the heart. All this together leads to a better knowledge of oneself.

We will also focus on chanting, especially mantras and healing aliquot tones. We will also enjoy musical meditations, we will play together, learn, rehearse, get to know each other, share...

Preliminary program of the Evening School of Holistic Music Therapy:
(individual topics may be changed or modified according to the course of previous lessons and the needs of the participants)

9/13 Tibetan bowls
10/18 handpans, sundrums
11/22 shamanic drums, rattles
13/12 resonance bed, monochord
17/1 aliquot (and throat) singing, om healing, mantras
14/2 gongs & chimes
14/3 African djembe drums and rhythms
11/4 didgeridoo (pipes and flutes)
16/5 rain pillars and sticks
13/6 musical meditation "sound bath" (all instruments)

Furthermore, depending on the time available, we will also introduce less common instruments, such as, for example, tingsha, kigonki, wayunki, mumble, pow-wow drum, tailpieces, pentatonic flutes and shiotanks, glockenspiel, mouth harps, tone waves and tubes, whirlies, sansulas, ocean drum, kantele, shrutibox, slotted drum, kalimba, balafon, udu, wasícha, cajon, psaltery, claves and other instruments and techniques. According to the experience from the previous year, the basic program was packed, and other instruments will most likely be the topic of continued study, where we will mainly focus on practicing the acquired knowledge and we will work together with the instruments and the voice, meditate, practice and deepen the acquired experience. It will probably be about four weekends during the year (summer, autumn, winter and spring) and their associated elements and other connections.

Two references from last year's school graduates:
The Čadov couple's holistic music therapy evening school is a completely unique concept. Being introduced to so many instruments has brought a new dimension of enjoyment of music into my life. At the very first lesson, I fell in love with Tibetan bowls, which of course I had known before, but it was only here that I understood the healing and meditative potential hidden in them. I play it in my yoga classes and retreats and all my yogis really appreciate the relaxing vibes. But also meeting all the other instruments was very revealing. Dan and Jana pass on their deep experience gathered over years of working with people in an erudite manner and at the same time with their heart in the palm of their hand. In addition, I met a lot of wonderful nice people here. What to add. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to get to know the oldest and most important instruments of the different cultures of our planet, tune their soul and body and discover unexpected aspects of music therapy that heals and helps.

A few words about the Evening School of Holistic Music Therapy, which I went through in 2024/25.
My first encounter with this specific music was quite unexpected. I was out of this style of music until I got a shaman drum and wanted to learn how to drum it. That's how I got to Dajana. At the first meeting in 2023, I took part in the chanting of mantras and sharing in a circle at Studio K3 in Prague.
There I immediately decided to experience the so-called VELEHUDA and immerse myself more closely in this music, which is most natural to us. It worked out for me in a way I would never have imagined. In the flow of meditation with gongs, singing bowls, drums,....I completely retuned and my whole essential self recognized that I was right here.
That is why when Jana and Dan Čad decided to open the 1st year of the School of Music Therapy, where I would expand my horizons and practical knowledge of these musical instruments, I was happy to welcome it. The ten lessons were very beneficial each time in a group of about thirty like-minded enthusiasts.
The professional and kind approach of Jana and Dan created a great atmosphere every time, we experienced many fun situations and I left feeling very relaxed.
Even though I was not guided to music from a young age, I can pick up any of these instruments at any time and be in tune with the tones that are so healing.
