Start with Harps Tuned in C

[HTL-108-231214 – HARP TIME LIVE #108 – Thu. Dec. 14, 2023]

Comments from This Session of Harp Time Live

What we did:

We looked at:

Creating a simple Video Greeting Card

Snippet

We played around with the song Gloria
Adding 3rds and 6ths above the melody and keeping a G in the Bass

We then practiced Recording a Video Greeting Card (Start your recording)

Smile at the camera, turn to your instrument
Play an intro (ie gliss)
Speak a message of love to the person you’ll be sending it to, looking right at the camera
Play a short song on your instrument
Speak a farewell (gliss on your harp while you’re doing it)
Stop the Video

You don’t have to use the above in the exact order it’s a guideline
Practice this a number of times

All of the above is included in the Class: Video Holiday Cards, which you can purchase as an individual class, at this link here: Video Holiday Cards

We also went into breakout rooms to meet other attendees and talk about what we discovered.

17:00:32 From Tammy H to Everyone:

I was feeling more comfortable playing the G as a beat to play to.

17:01:02 From Lawrence (Phoenix, AZ) to Everyone:

Would not have repeated that much. But I did learn it this way.

17:02:03 From Cherrie Mooney to Everyone:

I liked experimenting each time, ending with just 6ths and adding a descending bass line near the end.

17:02:28 From Lesley Macleod to Everyone:

I would have used coins but the gold chocalate coins made it even more fun!

I would not have done all the 6ths on my own .

17:02:30 From Cherie Maffey to Everyone:

The different ways to use hand shapes which give harmony to the notes

17:02:42 From Deborah-Palicia to Everyone:

Saying the note and then up and down, made it easy to remember with the repetition.
