New course "La passerelle" + registrations for other courses now open

Hey everyone!

It’s here – the « The Bridge » course is now available!
But registrations for the other courses are open too. :smiley:

Everything is on this page

I’ll take the time to come back here and answer topics, but right now I’m gonna take a breather – I’ve been going non-stop for 3 days to be ready for the big day. :slight_smile:

Quick question: are video feedbacks available only during « the year » you enrolled in the course, or is it ad vitam eternam (capped at 6 of course ;)) ?

Really awesome Gauthier! I’ve been waiting for this workshop like a kid waiting for Santa.

Last night, I jumped feet first into « The Bridge »

« Jump feet first into THE BRIDGE??? »… Good people, have faith, it didn’t budge at my landing!.. A lovely little oscillation, soft and strong at the same time felt through my body, filled me with joy - « rhythm in all its states »…This workshop like all the others as well as the courses, helps us give the instrument all its nobility, to explore ever further the play of finesse, precision, percussive alchemy.

In the first exercise, I found the work I’m doing with the over-vibration followed by the WON… But nothing is ever quite the same!..All your workshops Gauthier are for me a game, a puzzle in which the pieces get smaller and smaller. I discover through them new worlds, inside what I thought was a « same » landscape"… refining my perceptions of my vision, my listening… completing a philosophical and even spiritual journey… A game that keeps pushing me further in my curiosity…discovering what’s hidden behind this next turn, this other mountain, this other peak…without projection, or any particular expectation, just one step after another… For me, that’s how the magic works. On my journey, my didgeridoo becomes more docile, less « shy », unveils its riches and reveals mine, all gently.

…AhhRRRhh, here comes another lyrical flight, I can’t help myself!..So I jump on a little note that Elisabeth just sent me about my wink at the Ego « Come as you are » in the section « what’s this tree about? »…

…and Prévert adds " I am as I am, I’m made this way " - to get back to the good cooking of my homeland…

So thank you Elisabeth :wink:!..And I say to all those reading this section, **come as you are on « THE BRIDGE »! :clown_face: :crazy_face: :grin: Come in numbers! :dog2: :raccoon: :cat2: :lion: :pig: :unicorn: :monkey_face: :hedgehog: :sauropod: :fish: :honeybee: :ant:!!!

I could see your enthusiasm! :sweat_smile:

Thanks Calie, I’m really proud of this workshop!

Once you’re signed up you always have access to it. :slight_smile:

But I can see there’s enthusiasm here too! With Simon, you two were the first ones to sign up I think!

@Gauthier More like, is it possible for us to make you a video like 3 years (I’m exaggerating on purpose) after sign-ups start?

Sorry :sweat_smile::folded_hands:

Another question, related to @AAVA’s, @Gauthier, it seems to me you were considering doing « packs » of follow-up videos for those who might need more in-depth coaching. Still thinking about it?

Oh yeah sorry, I didn’t get it.
Yeah no problem, the timing is just there to give a rough frame but you can send whenever you want!

Oh yeah I did think about that! So for now, I kind of forgot about it because I’m worried it’ll get expensive fast. But your reminder might make me think about it again. :slight_smile:

Take your time thinking about it as far as I’m concerned, but it’s true that down the line it could interest me :wink:

After that, it’s always the same thing, it’s all about finding the right balance between time/effort/value/demand. It still comes down to a form of lesson. And while it doesn’t necessarily replace workshops, it can help when attending a workshop is tricky.

I’d told myself « okay, I can do that course later, I’d really like to explore traditional playing a bit this year » … and then … without even realizing it, my hand moved towards the screen and my finger started clicking, I tried to resist, but my hand was moving on its own, completely out of my control … hypnotized, under a spell … and boom here I am signed up!!

I’m telling you, watch out for Gauthier :wink: once you’ve started and tasted his courses, it’s impossible to stop!
There’s definitely some magic or voodoo going on :rofl:

Mischievous little helper granted your unconscious wish, it seems!

On my end, I’ve started tackling both workshops at the same time, and from what I’ve seen so far, it’s a good call. Plus it’s got me working on stuff I was stuck on, especially transitions between the drone and other sounds.

Suffice it to say I’m pretty happy about it :+1:

Hey everyone,
Well, I’m still resisting the urge to use my hands, but I don’t think that’ll last much longer :grin:
Have you guys started any lessons yet? Is it a continuation of « At the Heart of Rhythm »? Same idea?

It’s the same principle as the first three courses, yeah, and always really well explained :blush:

:sweat_smile: Darn! I’m rumbled!!

Yeah, it’s quite a delicate balance to strike…! But I’m aware that it would be a service that would appeal to quite a few people… So we’ll see!

Yeah absolutely, you’ve set yourself quite a challenge, but like you’re saying, they complement each other well. :slight_smile:

Come join us Romu (read this in an enchanting voice) :vampire: :genie:
