About Primal Sound

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”

Plato

Sound has a magical ability to transform our state of consciousness. From time immemorial we have expressed ourselves musically, no doubt beginning with our own voices, drums and the earliest wind instruments…

We are musical beings! Music is processed in the deepest parts of our brains, and science has shown music to be unique in engaging multiple areas of the brain at once, providing tremendous stimulus for neural growth and coherence.

Music moves us: it touches us physically, emotionally and spiritually, so is a wonderful medium for change – a group of people into a connected team, stress into relaxation, depression to inspiration, fun and joy.

Primal Sound offers sound experiences with some of our most ancient instruments – drums, gongs, didgeridoos and our own voices. Used in gatherings for ritual, ceremony & celebration since our earliest days, they are just as powerful now, as people all over the world are re-discovering.

Their sound is truly primal – hypnotic, mesmerising, fascinating…altering our brainwaves, creating a sense of harmony within ourselves and with each other.

Sarah’s workshops are full of humour and compassion, celebrating community and the transformational power of music.

“It has been found that musical vibrations make their impact upon the entire body, being picked up by the nerves, spinal column, and even by the bones… music affects the pulse, respiration, and blood pressure; but its deepest effects, and those from which most of its curative properties are derived, are mental and emotional.”
