About the Event
In these online lessons, participants will have a chance to study multiple components of "Sacred Music", including songs themselves, but in addition, the meanings, melodies, stories that accompany said songs. Each week a new song will be introduced along with practice homework.
Techniques of guitar playing will be developed -- finger picking melodies, strumming patterns, and all the little tid-bits and nuggets of musicianship.
You can expect to learn a wide variety of sacred songs, ranging from Sanskrit mantras, medicine songs in Spanish and/or Portuguese (or more), famous rainbow songs, and/ or original songs written by Grant, indigenous chants from around the world such as Native American prayer songs, or even icaros from the various plant medicine traditions of South America.
Along with learning new songs and ways of expression, key aspects of song sharing will be touched on such as presentation, musical dynamics, and the important considerations such as how to carry & transmit the potent healing powers of these songs in the best way.
Join us for a fun, dynamic, engaging study of Sacred Music.
*At the very least, a beginner level of acoustic guitar playing is strongly recommended but not required. *
Recordings and song sheets with chords and lyrics will be shared with participants.
