Voices from Alexander's gong training
Alexander's gong training was excellent. The curriculum was tailored to my goals and I was able to apply everything I learned with my yoga and meditation students the following week.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about the course.

Do I need any prior experience?

No. The course meets you at your very first stroke and guides you step by step. If you already play, you will find new techniques in module 3 and module 6.

Do I already need my own gong?

Not necessarily to learn the technique. For practice, a gong of about 80 cm in diameter or larger is worthwhile. If you like, Alexander will advise you on which one suits you, so you do not buy the wrong one.

How does the course work technically?

Right after purchase you get instant access to the members area and watch the 47 videos wherever and whenever you like, on your computer, tablet or phone.

How long do I have access?

For an unlimited time. You buy once and can watch the content again and again.

Do I get support?

If you like, Alexander accompanies you personally, answers your questions and gives you feedback on your playing.
