How do you learn how to play an “intuitive” instrument?
Feeltone US Trainer Joule L'Adara shares insights from her transformative experience with the "Secrets of the Monochord" training, emphasizing the deeper connection and mindfulness achieved through playing the feeltone Monolina. Despite her extensive musical and therapeutic background, attending the workshop revealed the importance of presence and listening beyond mere playing techniques.
The training, created by Martina Gläser, delves into the subtleties of sound energy and its therapeutic effects, focusing on attunement and the capacity to receive. L'Adara highlights the workshop's emphasis on discerning subtle energy shifts and co-creating with the instrument, marking a shift from performance to partnership with the monochord. The course offers a comprehensive exploration of the monochord, including care, tuning, and therapeutic applications, but prioritizes the experiential process of engaging with sound as a pathway to mindfulness and energy transmission.
The experience underscores the universal value of the monochord in teaching mindfulness and the profound impact of shared harmonic vibrations in group settings.
