It’s about that time to plan your summer – especially your harp summer! Of course the best choice would be to join us in Scotland on the Harp the Highlands and Islands tour in September! But to be ready, I’d highly recommend you participate in the Ohio Scottish Arts School harp program.
This year’s instructors include the amazing Sue Richards, Ann Heymann (a must see for anyone interested in wire harp!) and Corrina Hewat. In addition, Charlie Heymann will be teaching those elements that make us better musicians not just better harpers.
From the OSAS website:
The Scottish Harp classes will focus on:
• Basic harp technique for beginners and intermediates.
• Repertoire at all levels, including tunes for competition sets.
• Scottish style, including ornaments, lilt, and dance types.
The nylon/gut harp classes will study Scottish dance music, airs, and songs, focusing on ornamentation, Scottish style, accompaniment, and learning by ear.
