​I'm absolutely thrilled that my composition Elegy has been selected as one of Harp Columns 30 day practice challenges as a DREAM BIG Original solo for lever harp.

In this blog post I have created a series of mini tutorials which I hope will be a useful aid for anyone taking on the challenge of learning Elegy as part of the Harp Column practice challenge.

​Here is the audio of Elegy and the PDF of the sheet music can be downloaded from Harp Column HERE ​
Elegy breaks down into 7 sections and I have created a mini tutorial covering each section of the piece.

​This first video is an over view on creating the VIBRATO effect which occurs throughout the piece

1st section - m.1-16


2nd section - m.17-24


3rd section - m. 25-36


4th section - m.37-40


5th section - m. 41-48


6th section - m.49-56


7th section - m. 57-end


I hope these are helpful, and thank you so much for learning my music. If you post any videos on social media please tag me in as I would love to see them! x

Introduction to the harp

13/12/2020

I was recently asked by my friends at the Macclesfield Music Centre to provide a short video introduction to the harp suitable for school age children. So here is my offering which is by way of a bit of Nutcracker, Dr Who, Havana and my best BBC posh speaking voice. 

I recorded it in one take, and I was very conscious at the time to speak clearly and slowly. The resulting posh teaching / announcing voice I use throughout it is hilarious and not how I normally speak. It's less than 5 minutes long and I demonstrate on pedal harp as well as lever harp.
