Inviting clients or parents \u0026amp; kids for “musical conversation” is a creative way to “break the ice”. While the sound builds active listening, the resonant block engages with a physical connection. “Musical conversation” is a non-threatening dialogue that may bring more creativity and excitement into a session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfieldset class=\"item-modal_description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-text-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ember-view\" id=\"ember1693\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bindattr-1694=\"1694\" class=\"expandable-text expandable-text--is-expanded\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bindattr-1694=\"1694\" class=\"expandable-text expandable-text--is-expanded\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePlaying Solo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHold the \u003cem\u003eTwin\u003c\/em\u003e in both hands so that each thumb can reach one of set of tines.

I lead many workshops and trainings in a variety of topics, mostly related to building and maintaining relationships, and repairing them where there has been conflict or harm. I bought this instrument to evaluate for its potential as a communication tool. It has beautiful tone and is tuned to a very pleasing scale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo far I've used it in the office to bring our staff into harmony before meetings. Here how that works: two people, facing each other, each hold a side of the kalimba. One person plays a single note. The other answers with a single note. repeat a few times. When ready expand to two notes each, listening and interacting without playing simultaneously. Expand to three note riffs. Then one person can just play a simple, continuous rhythmic pattern while the other plays in response. this is all done without pauses or discussion, just sink into the experience, stay with it for at least three minutes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\nHere is what one of our customers has to say about the Twin Kalimba\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/fieldset\u003e","brand":"WePlayWellTogether","offers":[{"title":"Aria (A-minor)","offer_id":57284862280011,"sku":"111001","price":131.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1048\/2715\/8859\/files\/2000x2000twin.jpg?v=1778613914","url":"https:\/\/hokema.us\/products\/hokema-twin-kalimba","provider":"hokema.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
