In this 10-week course specifically for harp players (lever & pedal), harpists learn the fundamentals of solo arrangement so they can liberate themselves from the written page and create their own arrangements from simple melodies and bass-lines. This course teaches harpists the fundamentals of arrangement structure, the basics of what to do with LH and RH, how to simplify difficult pieces and how to embellish simplistic ones.

The principles: invention, collaboration, leadership, structure, character, exploration & lift-off as idea becomes reality.
