These 101 Masterclasses are 90 minutes of pure gold (or quartz crystal!) which is going to give you all the insider tips and professional hacks I’ve learned in 12 years of working with these powerful instruments, which you'll find at the core of many sound healing events and experiences.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

Anyone curious about these beautiful, enigmatic instruments. Maybe you’re just thinking about getting started with sound healing, or you're about to buy your first bowl, or perhaps you already own a crystal bowl or two but haven't had any formal training with them. And even if you have, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to give you some insights and tips which are new for you - even people who've done dedicated crystal bowl** training who come to my ALCHEMY SOUND SCHOOL say that they leave with information they didn't learn in days of bowl-specific training elsewhere. Everyone has their own tricks and tips - and these are mine, especially for you.

** ditto dedicated gong training!

What I’ll be teaching you:

* A brief insight into the structure and creation of crystal bowls /metal bowls/gongs (and why you need to know this)
* A run-through of ALL the different types of crystal bowl out there from frosted to Alchemy, Supergrades and yep the ones with handles… or all the different shapes, textures, and types of metal bowl including the difference between hand hammered and machine made and HOW TO TELL THEM APART!...  and for gongs we'll be running through symphonics, chau, wind gongs; the big brands, artisan makers, types of metal and why it all matters to you.
* Your 100% need to know technique clinic - how to get started, styles of play, beginners tricks, playing patterns and how to look pro from day 1
* What do do when you’re struggling to get consistent sound, or ANY sound, out of your instrument, and how to avoid panicking if it’s not happening

* Troubleshooting mixing different types of instrument, mallet and wand
* A quickfire lesson in integrating instruments into other spaces/practices - and I’ll be taking your personal questions on this so the intel is totally tailored to YOU, the live guests
* My top tips on where to buy and what to avoid, and why
* What to do when things break… and the insurance you need! (take it from someone who has owned a LOT of crystal bowls...)

We’ll have a Q&A at the end too, and there’ll be a little sound meditation to enjoy and integrate eachs ession.

Replay will be available and no - you DON'T need to own a bowl or gong to take this class, in fact you'll definitely find you're more equipped to make a purchase AFTER the masterclass (although if you do, already have an instrument, have it to hand so you can test skills out as I teach you)
