In this course Lisa teaches twelve tunes specifically chosen to help improve and master different techniques on the harp. She examines and demonstrates essential techniques such as placing, fingering and hand position through to more complex ones such as ornamentation, variation and the dampening of the strings. Jigs, Reels, Waltz, Slip Jigs, Barndances, Flings, Polkas, and an Air are all included, covering a wide spectrum of tune types that are appropriate to various levels of Harp playing and that cover a wide variety of techniques. In each class, Lisa will typically teach the tune phrase by phrase, the right hand on its own, followed by the left-hand accompaniment before playing through the tune slowly with both hands together. By the end of the course, you can expect to have a broader repertoire of tunes that sit well on the harp, improved technique that will ultimately help you to play with greater speed, with a stronger tone and clearer ornamentation.
