SELF-ACCOMPANIED SINGING
Intermediate – E+M

TUTOR : WENDY STEWART
Simple effective arrangements to some well kent and lesser known Scottish songs to coax the many closet singing harpers out of the shower (you know its bad for the strings!). From easy chord charts to harmony lines, lullaby to tongue twister, we'll take it slowly and enjoy the musical ride.

ENTREE–MINUET–BOUREE : BAROQUE MUSIC
ON THE CLARSACH – Elementary – E+M

TUTOR : TOM DAUN
During the 18th century a lot of different harps were in use. Aristocratic circles preferred the Italian 'arpa doppia', a fully chromatic instrument. However, there is historical evidence that diatonic harps were used as well. In this course we will learn some beautiful baroque melodies from English, German and French sources – haunting music, easy to play – with occasional changes of semitone-blades.
