Tongue Drum For Non-Musicians And Total Beginners
With Alicia Mott-ComittoI have been a musician my entire life but for the last 30 years, I have been a professional, working musician in the NY tri-state area. I play ten instruments--and am always adding to the list! In this course, I will go over basic music principals as they relate to the tongue drum. We will be working with a C-Scale tongue drum** (most standard beginner tongue drums are C instruments, but you should make sure your instrument is compatible). We will go over the "musical alphabet" and how it relates to your instrument. I will teach you to label your instrument, identify the tones on it, and then use those tones to improvise for meditation. In the last session of the course, we will do a sound meditation together, using the tongue drum as our guide. This will be an opportunity for you to play along, implementing what you've learned, and vocalize along as the meditation progresses. I can't wait to meet you and see you in class! **You must have your own tongue drum to enjoy this course to its fullest, as we will be learning to play this instrument with the ultimate goal of using it in personal meditation.
Ordered that tongue drum and now not sure what to do? We will learn how to play the tongue drum for use in meditation!
