Share a rhythm-and-tea afternoon

Does a rhythm-and-tea afternoon need people who can play instruments?

A table of willing listeners would be a good start. Could we agree the volume and take turns? The tea has no audition requirements, and I'd like the music to be nearly as welcoming.

I would like to try something similar where I am. Would you mind comparing what needs adapting? One thing I should say upfront: I prefer borrowing equipment before buying it.

The useful part of this conversation is making the limits visible. I want to keep “Share a rhythm-and-tea afternoon” manageable for the people involved. That would be useful. We should compare the conditions instead of assuming the same arrangement works in both places.

On “Share a rhythm-and-tea afternoon”, I would also like to share a modest craft table with neighbours. For me, I prefer borrowing equipment before buying it.

I'd like two neighbours to come for tea and make simple rhythms together on suitable household objects. No one needs a repair or a favour to visit. Come for the company; the table will try not to take all the solos.

I would welcome a low-cost materials tip. Is there something comparably small that another person could offer you?

For “Share a rhythm-and-tea afternoon”, I would first settle what each person can comfortably offer. Then I would choose the smallest arrangement that still feels worthwhile.

Not for me yet, Peter Baptiste.

For this wish, Lorenzo Juarez: That helps me separate the purpose from the details. I can alter the activity without losing the reason for wanting to meet.
