Learning to play the monochord is more than just following a technique or method.

The monochord, one of the oldest string instruments, helps us promote our health, harmonize ourselves, and strengthen us with its rich overtones and spherical sounds.

Even a gentle stroke with the fingers creates an enveloping sound carpet on which delicate overtone melodies unfold and touch body, mind, and soul in a wonderful way. It strengthens confidence and self-esteem, promotes creativity, and joy of life.

It invites you to dream, supports meditation, and is a multi-tonal, faithful companion in making music, singing, and storytelling. The basic course familiarizes you with the monochord and conveys the experience of how sounds can massage and lead to deep relaxation. In the alternation of receiving and relaxing, you can get to know the essence and handling of the monochord. Instrument knowledge, tuning a monochord, and the imparting of playing techniques alternate with demonstrations and practical exercises.

With the monochord, you will immerse yourself in new sound spaces that allow you to experience the joy of playing, security, and inner peace. You will learn to use the monochord meditatively and in simple sound treatments, or as an accompanying instrument. Musical knowledge is not necessary.
