SUNDAY 24.09. MUSIC MEDICINE - BALAFON

We had a rewarding afternoon - music making in the moment. I love my Balafon, it has been made many many years ago by a lovely musician who knew how to play it and i was very glad i got to hear about it as Noah wanted to sell it, and was local to me. I love it and even though i am playing with one hand (recording with the other) you can hear the lovely sounds it makes.
It's a great one for everybody...
Chistine Stevens lovely poem about music making ...here

YOU ARE MUSICAL
The ability to be musical comes from within.
You don't have to play an instrument.
You already Are an instrument.
Music is everyone's birthright.
As a child you explored the world of sound and rhythm.
There is a musical spirit waiting to be discovered in you.
Music is not reserved for the stage.
It can be an every day event in every day places.
It is heard in your heartbeat, your breath, your words.
And shared in Community, Ceremony, Prayer and Fun.
There is a reason we say we Play music.
Music is about Creativity, Playfulness and Expression.
Even if you've been silenced and excluded from music making,
You are still yearning for Music in your Life.
You can create Harmony in your Life.
And connect with the Musical Spirit that allows your Soul to Sing..

Blessings for the Equinox we are in Dorset near Bournemouth and look forward playing and singing with you ....one day
