Bio

Barbara Swetina is a gifted musician, educator, innovator and music success coach with degrees from the Mozarteum University, the ORFF Institute and the Salzburg University of Education. She is originally from Vienna and as a long-time musical director in the Scottish Ecovillage Findhorn since the 1980s, she has been building a sacred world culture of peace through music. She plays 7 instruments, authored 6 CD's and 2 songbooks and her workshops have taken her all over Europe and internationally to Australia, Brazil, Hawaii, Japan, Russia and the USA. Her love of music is contagious and can transform a group of people unknown to each other into a polyphonic choir in a very short time. She is also the creator of the MusicTrain, a holistic musical learning system that exemplifies a new paradigm for teaching and learning for music.
