Course Description

Sound and vibration are all around us, ever-present yet invisible. They shape our experiences and influence every level of our being, but their workings often remain elusive.  
As the foundation and primary tools of our practice, it is essential to develop a deep and accurate understanding of sound and vibration. Without this clarity, it’s easy to fall into misconceptions that limit our potential.  
Fortunately, the basic physics of sound and vibration has been well understood for over 150 years. However, traditional approaches to these topics generally demand extensive mathematical training and are tailored to scientists and engineers.  
Our needs are different. We seek to understand sound and vibration not for technological innovation, but to work with them in meaningful and therapeutic ways. This calls for an approach that is clear, accessible, and directly applicable to our practice.  
This course provides exactly that.  
Through visually engaging simulations, hands-on demonstrations, live instrument analysis, and TOA’s unique PSV framework, you’ll gain a fresh perspective on sound and vibration that is both exciting and practical.  
Course Objectives
    • What sound and vibration are, and how they work.  
    • The fundamentals of waves, including frequency, amplitude, and wavelength. 
    • Resonance and resonance frequencies.
    • Wave interactions, such as constructive and destructive interference.
    • Cymatics and Chladni patterns.
    • Room acoustics, including reflections, absorption, and diffusion.
    • Beat frequencies—monaural and binaural beating.  
    • Harmonics and overtones.  
    By the end of this course, you will:  
    • Have a solid, practical understanding of the physics of sound and vibration.  
    • Be able to apply this knowledge to enhance your therapeutic sound practices. 
    • Understand resonance, harmonics, and wave interactions in ways that inform your work.  
    • Gain insights into acoustic environments and how to interact with them for sound practices.  
    • Communicate confidently about sound and vibration using a shared conceptual language.  
    • Feel inspired and excited about how this understanding deepens your practice.  
    This isn’t just a learning experience—it’s an adventure. You’ll laugh, reflect, and walk away seeing (and hearing) the world differently.

    Thomas Orr Anderson

    Thomas Orr Anderson, M.A., is a physicist, musician, acoustical researcher, author, teacher, athlete, qigong instructor, and Nature-lover. With bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics, he combines a deep understanding of scientific principles with a lifelong passion for music and natural healing arts, including meditation, acupressure, herbal medicine, and qigong.

    For over two decades, Thomas has devotedly explored the transformative power of sound across diverse contexts—from university laboratories and integrative health centers to indigenous ceremonies and ancient temples. He is the creator of the world's highest fidelity sound immersion tables, bringing unparalleled precision and depth to therapeutic sound experiences.

    As one of the few explorers of sound mysticism who is also a trained physicist, Thomas is internationally recognized for his ability to clarify the science behind sound therapy while honoring its mystical traditions. He has been a dedicated student of legendary mentors such as holography pioneer Dr. H.J. Caulfield and 110-year-old Yaqui-Mayan medicine man Tata Kachora.

    Thomas is the author of several books, including Master Handbook of Sound Healingand Introduction to Attention Field Theory. Whether teaching, researching, or simply enjoying the natural world, Thomas’s work is driven by a devotion to sound’s potential to harmonize, heal, and transform.
