JaNEWary challenge

3/1/2019

Happy 2019!

I'm delighted that the good people at Harps North West are using my arrangements of Pure Imagination for lever harp as part of their JaNEWary challenge. They are using two versions of my arrangements for lever harp. The first version is a more straight forward version with no lever changes, and the second version is more complex with lever changes. The pieces are broken up into small sections and they have special teaching videos and play-along videos presented by the very brilliant and inspiring Mary Dunsford.

If you want to join in and learn the arrangements as part of this months challenge you can head over to their website or their facebook page.

I'm looking forward to giving a workshop on extended techniques at the Harps North West summer camp later this year.

I started publishing my harp arrangements last year and Pure Imagination from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is available as one PDF containing all three versions which is perfect for teaching all levels of harpists. For beginner to intermediate harpists complete with carefully thought through lever markings and pedalling. 1. Easy lever harp with no lever changes 2. intermediate lever harp with lever changes 3. intermediate pedal harp.

Pure Imagination is available here and you can see all my other published arrangements here

Why blog?

Well, I'm a bit of a harp nerd, and it's the quirky more unusual side of harping that usually catches my eye and ear!

You won't find posts about harp competitions, and the standard harp repertoire here.

You will, however, find posts about interesting harp items I have come across on the internet, as well as nerdy stuff like posts about harp strings and blisters etc.

I post lots of videos of interesting harpists from around the world and their projects, and finally, I post the very occasional bit of news about me.

Regular HARPYNESS readers might have noticed that I haven't been blogging that much since January 2017. That's because my elderly father was diagnosed with dementia then. His care is shared between my sister and myself. This has meant my available blogging time on this website has been significantly reduced. As and when I can write a new harp blog, I will do!

Please follow me on instagram to see regular updates with lots of harp photos & cute photos of my crazy dog, Louis.
