HOREN EN SPELEN

Een instrument bespelen,
is eigenlijk heel makkelijk.
Er zijn klankstaven, bellen,
fluiten en synthesizers.

Een beetje proberen is goed.
Zomaar wat doen is ook goed.
Doe maar wat, studeer niet,
beschouw het als ontdekken.

LISTEN AND PLAY

Playing an instrument
is easy and rewarding.
Woodblocks, a set of bells,
flutes and synthesizers.

Trying a little is very good.
Keep on doing something.
By doing it with no exercise
you are a new discoverer.

-------------------------------

This is how you can play
without knowing what to do:
Do not search for a song,
let your fingers do the work.

It all begins with ONE tone.
Now play it very slow, relax.
Then you make a next tone.
It is just like composing.

Playing is not about results.
It is all about 'no silence'.
Remember this and play.
Fill the air with your sound.

It is different to be active
instead of just listening.
It is like putting up a flag,
your very own nice flag.

Play music with 'no silence',
and keep on filling the air,
one tone after the other.
Please have a low speed.

Enjoy the new sounds,
make new melodies today.
It is not about 'how',
it is all about 'NOW'.

Playing by yourself
is a perfect relaxation.
It is good for your mind
and personal growth.

Play without questions,
do not want any result.
Just make a lot of tones,
without long silences.

Focus the mind on filling
the silence with sounds.
Do not think, start doing.
you will be rewarded.
