Is this course for you?

This is a gently paced course for elementary level players. It will be easier for you to follow along if you have some basic reading and harp technique skills in place. That being said, I will provide plenty of step-by-step support to help you learn,

We'll work on identifying intervals and patterns for smart sight-reading skills. We'll deep dive into polished technique. And I'll provide plenty of play along support to help you develop steady counting.

What do I need?

You will need to purchase, download and print the sheet music from the Music Discoveries Shop. The course does not include sheet music.

This solo has F sharp in the key signature. It is best suited for larger harps with 28+ strings, however I will show you in the course how to easily adapt to a small harp with bass C as your lowest pitch.
