Resonance Board Training
Event description
What to Expect
This session led by Will Taggart will explore the Resonance Board and how to use it with participants who have a range of developmental levels and in different settings. The session will be experiential, where everyone will start to understand the Resonance Board and its potential for music making in groups and with individuals. By sitting close together, sharing simple musical jokes, chants and stories with lots of repetition and silence, the resonance board becomes a shared instrument that anyone can play. Please bring any multi-sensory/sound making resources you would like to explore with the Resonance Board. Think tipping, dropping, swapping, swishing, rolling, passing round...
