What is The Listening Program?:

The Listening Program (TLP) is a Music-Based Auditory Stimulation method that trains the brain to improve the auditory skills needed to effectively listen, learn, and communicate.

It consists of an extensive series of high-quality audio CDs that integrate specially produced acoustic music, primarily classical, with innovative sound processing techniques that exercise the brain and auditory pathways.

Modular CD Design:

The modular design of each sixty-minute TLP CD includes 4 fifteen-minute segments.  There are 3 five-minute tracks per segment.  The first track of a segment is "A", the second is "B", and the third is "C".

The A track supports listeners as they gradually adjust to the experience of filtered sound and prepares them to be receptive to the B track, which presents the greatest intensity of filtered sound with audio bursting.  The C track helps organize the experience and return listeners to their natural listening environment.

The Music of Arcangelos:

The Listening Program CDs include audiophile quality recordings of classical, classically inspired, improvised, folk and children's music produced by ABT Music and performed by the award-winning members of The Arcangelos Chamber Ensemble.  The music is carefully selected, arranged and recorded to maximize the benefits of each TLP program and CD.  Compositions include the works of Mozart, Haydn, Bach, Vivaldi, Corelli, Salieri, Telemann, and others.  High quality nature sounds are also interwoven into many of the soundscapes for added listening training and spatial awareness.
