Early Bird Pricing before January 25!
Feb 22, 2025The player’s relationship to the gong is similar to our connections to our friends and loved ones. The deeper and more caring the intent in the interaction the more we discover that we value it. In those deep friendships, we find love. And so it is with the gong. The more we play and learn to deeply listen to the conversations we have with it, the broader our sharing becomes so that we learn, grow, and find enjoyment in the process.
On day 1, we will learn the basics of gong anatomy and care, how to create sounds and how to employ the fundamental techniques of playing. Learning some theory and linking it to practical experience will open the door to discovering that the gong can speak to you and that there is a rudimentary language to learn and a conversation to be had.
Day 2 will provide the knowledge and refined skills to play the gong well and confidently, and to investigate the subtle dynamics in play between the player and receivers of a session. This discovery is where the long-term, deeply satisfying relationship develops. You discover the gong and become an agent between the sound current of the instrument and the sensitivity and skills that allow you to respond to the attendees needs as well as how to play well with others. You will learn to control the nuances available relative to rhythm and volume control. volume. Then the gong responds by sharing the nuances of its language resulting in the experience of deeper cosmic communication.
