The training is structured as follows

SIPARI® I: will    introduce    to    the    resource-oriented    and    training-centred treatment     concept.     Basic     theoretical     fundamentals     will     be explained   and   the   parallels   of   speech-   and   music-perception   will be   demonstrated.      As   an   essential   part   of   the   course,   participants get     to     know     musical     effectiveness     by     playing     instruments themselves   or   using   their   own   voice.   Musical   education   is   not   an obligatory   requirement.   However,   participants   should   be   willing to   let   themselves   in   for   contact   with   music   actively   and   open- minded.   Furthermore,   practical   work   with   patients   on   the   basis of   specific   training   situations   will   be   demonstrated   in   order   to give an insight into the treatment repertoire.
