Jewsharp / Mouth Harp Workshop: Szabolcs Gimesi

Duration: 2hrs/£30

Workshop description:

In this workshop, you can learn about the mouth harp which is considered to be one of the oldest musical instruments known all over the world.

The mouth harp is an instrument of meditation and introspection. In the play-along ‘timbre’, we also bring in folk and trance elements. 

We invite all who are interested, beginners and others already familiar with, and play our instrument.

For our play-along session, in order to create ear and brain harmony, bring D-tuned mouth harps if you can. (We also have limited number of those, as we can lend to participants.)

We’d love to see you there!
