Learn to Play the Pentatonic Flute

with paul lawrence · self-paced

A practical beginner's course on the pentatonic recorder, the instrument used across Waldorf kindergartens and lower classes. Useful for teachers who have been handed a flute and asked to get on with it, and for parents who want to play with their children.

Learning to Listen

with paul lawrence · self-paced

Opening ourselves to sound and tonal awareness, an anthroposophical approach. Listening is treated here as something that can be practised and developed, not a fixed capacity you either have or don't. The exercises build on each other; the course rewards returning.

The Madonna Sequence

with paul lawrence · self-paced

Ten images of the Madonna and Child by Raphael, in a sequence devised by Rudolf Steiner and Dr Peipers in 1908 to heal what they called soul wounds. Paul's lecture takes up the new mysteries — mysteries of the future, mysteries of love — and how these images can be used for healing.

Includes an introduction by Penny Champ and a further lecture from Paul on the symbolism of the pentagram. The sequence itself is a slideshow of fifteen images you can return to again and again.
