Monochord Monday Meetup hosted by Joule L'Adara
We’ve been gathering for Monochord Monday since May of 2020. Hosted by official USA feeltone monochord trainer Joule L’Adara, each month, our monochord players gather to try out different playing parameters and enjoy our instruments together for inspiration, connection, and self-care.
This gathering is often led by members of our community who share how they use the monochord — whether Monolini, Monolina, Concert Monochord, or sound furniture such as the MonChair or Monochord Table — and lead the group through a meditation and playing session. Our Zooms feel comfy and friendly as we all play together in real time, with cameras and mics off so you’re playing in your own safe home environment. At the end there’s the option to turn on your camera and say hi to the group, or remain in the audience. Drop in any monthly Monday we’re meeting and bring your monochord! (We feature feeltone monochords but all brands are welcome.)
