Music is within you, naturally and instinctively, it connects us to life itself.

Music has always been a kind of meditation for me. But the specific form that is Tone&Groove is something that I started creating as part of my teaching practice. Improvising simple melodies over a drone bass is a very grounding musical practice.

I started taking the melodies that I improvised and putting them into extended structures where each section connects to a specific feeling energy. I found that playing and listening to these pieces to be a powerful form of mediation.

By following these simple pieces as they unfold, with close attention, we can find that the music encourages us to tune more deeply into our natural sense of rhythm and harmony. With calm, steady focus, our breathing can slow as we connect with the flowing waves that guide the sounds. The body-and-soul connection to the music can happen effortlessly, so that our minds can flow with it, connecting to our innermost feeling consciousness.
