Event Details

Acutonics Elective: For the Love of Gongs

For the Love of Gongs is a two-day class designed to inspire new and experienced players to expand their practice and skill set. We will begin by discussing the gong and gong culture throughout history. We will explore the physics of sound and what happens when we strike a gong. Techniques are taught that expand our perceptions on how we hold a mallet, and how we approach striking a gong. We will learn how our choice of mallet affects the quality of tone expressed. Most importantly, learners will study how to play the gong therapeutically and in an aesthetic way.

Learning the techniques will build confidence while encouraging play and exploration. This class will help to take our relationship with the gong to another dimension.

For our online participants, it is essential to have a gong and a variety of mallets for your best learning experience in this class.

This workshop is offered ONLINE, however, there is an option to attend live, contact Theresa at theresa@kshc.ca
