Absolutely. This course is designed for complete beginners as well as those who have already fallen in love with the gong. The lessons start with the fundamentals and gradually progress to more advanced techniques.
-
How is this course different from other gong trainings?

-
What if I’ve had a bad experience with a gong session before?
Many people have been discouraged by overly loud or aggressive gong playing. This training emphasizes sensitivity, respect, and ethics. You’ll learn how to use the gong in a way that nourishes, rather than overwhelms, your listeners.
-
