Join us for a focused and immersive two-hour masterclass exploring the expressive art of Handheld Gong Techniques. Designed for sound healers, musicians, movement artists, wellness practitioners, and curious beginners, this live online session will deepen your relationship with the gong as a moving, living instrument.
This class will also feature techniques inspired by Noelia Madiedo, incorporating her unique approach to “The dance” sound bending—a flowing integration of movement and sound where the gong becomes an extension of the body. Through this method, you’ll learn how to create immersive, intentional soundscapes that respond to space, presence, and energy.
What we’ll explore:
• Core handheld gong playing techniques and practice
• Movement, positioning, and energetic direction
• ‘The Dance’ sound bending methods inspired by Noelia Madiedo
• How to create dynamic textures and rhythmic variation
• Integrating the handheld gong into performances, ceremonies, and healing sessions
• Care and handling tips for portable gongs
What You’ll Need:
• A handheld gong (any size you’re comfortable with)
• Mallets
• A comfortable space to move and explore
Whether you’re new to the gong or looking to expand your skills, this masterclass will open up new dimensions of sound, movement, and creative expression.
