What is the REQUIRED instrument minimum for the course?

The minimum instrument requirement is as follows:

  1. One 30” or larger gong made of either nickel silver or bronze. No wind gongs. 
  2. Gong mallets - one large and two small or medium (made for nickel silver gongs).
  3. Three crystal singing bowls. At least one must be in the third octave and the rest in the fourth octave. 
  4. Two crystal singing bowl mallets that allow playing on the rim and the side (you may need two different mallets)

The recommended instrument minimum includes adding the following: 

  1. Two additional crystal singing bowls so you have a set of 5 bowls. At least two should be in the 3rd octave and the rest in the 4th octave.
  2. One complementary instrument. Options are a standalone rainmaker, bead drum (also known as wave drum), or percussion tube.
