Watch Promo
The full Course 1 provides the basics of Harp Technique for beginners, and those who would like to refresh their understanding of what it takes to play the harp. Organised into 4 basic progressive lessons, it can be used as a supplement at home for the first series of lessons with a teacher. It is invaluable for a student to be able to listen to explanations in their own time, in short segments repeatedly, and to absorb the actions visually. The course includes over 100 minutes of short videos which can be viewed in any order.
The First Steps course addresses the 2 Basic Aspects of Playing the Harp, using exercises and first pieces. It is suitable for lever or pedal harp with any number of strings/levers.
The Studio Course allows access for maximum 6 people. A nominated head of Studio (ie teacher, music school administrator) will need to provide the names of participants via email. This can be revised at any time to keep within the allocated class size.
To include a one-on-one lesson to complement this course, enroll in the Skype Lesson Course as well.
"So much substance in just the first 2 lessons...I cannot just go thru without it becoming part of who I am at the harp. I am allowing the techniques you are bringing to be an integral part of how I listen, view and approach the harp.
Thank you so very much for this very Rich course" C.M. - USA
"Just wanting to say how helpful your videos are for someone who is a visual learner and wants to get the technique right." C.Q. - Australia
"I am finding these lessons very clear--both your explanations and the videos. I like the 'breaks', creating short sequences; I like the key words appearing sporadically, and seeing both hands/from both sides is also helpful...Remarkably prompt and thorough in answering any questions I had. It is clear that you sincerely want us to learn to play the harp properly and beautifully. M.D. - (USA)
