Gong seminar "Playing techniques"

ollihess Gong Seminar Playing Techniques.

November 2016 On the weekend of November 19 and 20, 2016, another gong seminar was held here in Uenzen with the topic "Playing techniques on the gong".

The atmosphere in the group was very pleasant and we had a lot of fun this weekend. For some participants it was new that you can also play a gong quietly. Some thought that hearing protection would be necessary in a gong seminar. But after the first practical session, everyone realized that something completely different was happening here on the course.

The next day, the first comments were already coming in that they had never heard such fine tones on the gong before. Often the previous experiences were rather unpleasant and simply too loud. This is of course cool feedback that I, as a seminar leader, love to hear! It is extremely important to me and I love to play the gong quietly (and carefully).
That's also a big feature of my courses: being mindful with ourselves and with the materials.
This was also well received by the participants. Oh, and of course I'm always delighted that my mallets are so well received by the gong players. It's so nice when lots of people enjoy playing and experimenting with my mallets and then confirm to me again and again that the ideas and implementation were just as good. That goes down like oil. :-)

So I think the weekend was a success for everyone and was great fun.

A big thank you once again to the participants of the seminar "Playing techniques on the gong" with me here in Uenzen - you were great!

The courses will resume next year. Feel free to check back here on the blog. Maybe there's a date that suits you if you're also interested in such a course.
