Harp Essentials  2009:  Technique for Harmony 


One-day course for all abilities except complete beginners, offered in association with Alston Hall Lancashire Adult Learning at Alston Hall, Alston Lane, Longridge, Preston PR3 3BP


Tutor: Eira Lynn Jones.  Welsh harpist will celebrate St David's Day by helping students develop harping skills through playing traditional Welsh music. 

 
This is the 2nd of two separate days - see also our events diary page for  Saturday 28th February 2009.

You can attend either or both one-day courses.

 

Both days are designed to help improve your playing through a fresh focus on technique. Each day will encourage you to explore and develop your knowledge of technique and learn/revise methods for practise.

 

Both days aim for you to experience, feel and hear how you can improve through playing new music together on the day and to take home - including solo and ensemble.

 

Adult and younger players are welcome to attend this course.
