Is this course for you?

This course is designed for early intermediate players who have a basic foundation for reading music and playing the harp. You should understand placing and linking, be able to play 1-5-8-9-10 patterns in the left hand and roll simple triads in the right hand.

In the course we will focus on the basic reading elements in each section, working hands separately and together. I will set you up to play accurately, with attention to fingering, technique and counting. As you develop skill you will be able to play along with me at a slow, steady tempo. We will also discover the elements that will create artistry to your playing.
