A Note from Ken Little:

I'm Ken Little and have been developing and sharing my connection with gongs across the world.  I am so delighted to be offering this introduction to flumie workshop here in Beamsville, Ontario.  Come and experience the enigmatic and curious nature of the gong.  I'll present to you basic techniques using flumies for evoking a world of sounds out of these beautiful instruments.  Please come join me for a widening of your sonic horizon.  No musical background necessary, just an open-heart and mind.
