Delores DeVore is a Therapeutic Sound Practitioner certified by the International Sound Therapy Association, educator, and independent researcher working at the intersection of sound, harmonic structure, and mathematical systems. She holds a degree in Mathematics with minors in General Science and Education, and a Master of Divinity from Universal Brotherhood University based on her work with Sound essences.
Her professional background includes teaching algebra and geometry in public schools, along with extensive experience in computer systems, programming, and technical education. Since first acquiring tuning forks in 1987, Delores has taught tuning fork classes for ISTA, facilitated vocal toning and experiential sound practices, and worked with sound as a tool for awareness, regulation, and coherence.
Delores’s areas of study span therapeutic sound, harmonic systems, sacred geometry, and consciousness research. Her sound lineage and research foundation include the teachings and works of Laurel Elizabeth Keys, Don Campbell, Wendy Young, Tom Kenyon, Jonathan Goldman, David Hulse, Eileen McKusick, John Beaulieu, Hans Cousto, Joseph Crane, G.W. Hardin, and Jain108. She was initiated into Hathor sound practices through Tom Kenyon and has undertaken long-term study in sacred geometry, including multi-year coursework and lectures with Randall Carlson.
Her research interests extend into Just Intonation, Pythagorean tuning, whole-number ratios, mathematical constants (π, φ, e), and their expression in music, architecture, and sacred structures, including focused study of the Great Pyramid of Giza. She also explores symbolic encoding and harmonic patterning in historical texts, including the work of Alan Green and Kyle Gann’s analysis of tuning systems.
This breadth of study led to the development of the Scale of 11, and the Resolved Just Scale, a 15-note relational harmonic framework in which every note and interval is a multiple of 11. Rooted in both disciplined inquiry and lived listening, Delores’s work bridges math and music, structure and resonance—offering practitioners a grounded way to understand why sound works, not only how it is used.
She is the discoverer of the Scale of 11 and the RJS system.
