This Bundle of courses is designed for those who have completed the First Steps, and plan to complete the Beginner Level.
For the curriculum, video samples, and information on each course included in the Bundle, click on the course icon above.
The Complete Beginner Level gives you an in-depth foundation, covering around 5 years of beginner study, featuring video clips on technique, progressive repertoire development, and online support.
Completion of all the Steps will give you a thorough grounding at the harp, without strain and from which you can share your playing with others competently. It will cover all the basic technical needs to play rewarding repertoire, as well as the basic array of extended techniques (glissandi, harmonics, nails, xylophonics etc), including a string-changing demo and some exclusive arrangements. The structured curriculum is a useful aid to teachers as a guide to logical progress, including repertoire with consistent, smooth development.
By the end of this Beginner Level, you will have a complete guide in videos to what I would consider the essential fundamentals of playing the harp.
