New
players of all types of harps (and especially wire-strung clarsachs) are
very welcome to join this course. Using both historical and traditional
pieces, we will reinforce basics and explore damping techniques that allow
the music to shine. All sizes of harps can be used. As we interpret the
pieces, we will learn how to play cleanly, and how to release harmony from
melody. Additionally, we will explore playing crisp decorations found in
historical sources, and making interesting accompaniments.
