Playing at Mealtimes

Want to get your feet wet playing for others in an accepting and non-threatening situation?

One of the opportunities we offer is a simple activity: Playing at Mealtimes. It's a chance for participants to play during the communal meals we share. Two or three people play for about 60–90 minutes, which gives you a chance to play solos, share duets, and also eat.

Playing at Mealtimes is designed to offer a setting where you are not performing, but providing background music. You can explore anything that you think might add to the setting — some people have even used the opportunity as an informal show-and-tell about their special flutes.
