Ep 79: Sound Healing w/ David Sonnenschein

In this episode I have the pleasure of interviewing David Sonnenschein about the intersection of sound, music, games, and learning. David is a Sound designer, filmmaker, game developer, musician, sound healer, audio consultant, and author of international textbook, “Sound Design: The Expressive Power of Music, Voice and Sound Effects in Cinema.” He’s currently CEO of edtech company iQsonics based in Santa Monica CA, creating services and products that utilize music and audio for brain health. Their flagship program is called SING AND SPEAK 4 KIDS. It’s a music-based game for supporting language development in Early Childhood Education for the autism population and English Language Learners, funded by the U.S. Dept. of Education SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research). David has a BA in Neuroscience/Music from UCSD,  and an MFA inCinema/TV from USC. We trace his journey from music student to music healer and learn some powerful things about why music and sound are so powerful for our mood management.
