Certified Sound Training Ireland
WHAT
The West Sound School training pathway has been designed to help you build your knowledge, confidence, and practical skills step by step through each of the levels. Beginning with the foundations and progressing towards advanced practice, each level builds upon the last, creating a supportive and structured learning journey.
WHEN
Each training is delivered over two days ( Saturday & Sunday), allowing plenty of time for both theory and hands on experience. All instruments required for the training will be provided, so you can fully immerse yourself in the learning process without needing to bring your own equipment.
HOW
West Sound Training is designed as a progressive learning pathway, with each level building upon the knowledge, skills, and experience gained in the previous training. To ensure all students have the necessary foundations and support, Level One must be completed before attending Level Two, and Level Two must be completed before progressing to Level Three.
This approach allows you to develop your understanding of sound in a structured, confident, and embodied way, ensuring you receive the greatest benefit from each stage of the journey.
