Canadian Celtic Harp Workshop Accommodates All Levels
VANCOUVER - The third Summer Celtic Harp Workshop will once again take place in metro Vancouver (Coquitlam) BC, Canada. The two day – August 5 and 6 – program is designed to accommodate novices as well as more experienced harpists who want to improve their playing skills.
Led by Rebecca Blair and Mehlinda Heartt, the workshop will cover diverse topics such as harp techniques, improvisation, arranging and learning by ear, left-hand development, music theory (as needed), accompanying the voice, history of Celtic music, and performing in a harp circle.
Format includes a combination of lectures, demonstrations, hands-on-work and listening. For the last hour of each of the two days there will be ensemble playing in a “harp circle.”
Rebecca Blair and Mehlinda Heartt are experienced harp teachers and performers who have combined their classical background with improvisation. Their teaching method integrates creativity and harp technique with Celtic, Classical, and popular styles.
