FAIRPLAY IMMERSION Christmas – Harp Ensemble or Duo? Let’s Sparkle Together 2021

£35.00

Online short Course  

2021 – CHRISTMAS IMMERSION – Let’s Sparkle Together this Christmas

Christmas harp duo/ensemble with your harp friends? Let’s get ready! 

Live online course 14th November 2021 3.00pm-5.00pm GMT, replay and edited videos available afterwards.

Playing music together at any time of the year is magical, at Christmas I find this to be even more true. Everyone, all ages and abilities, can join in to familiar and well-loved pieces together! In this CHRISTMAS IMMERSION I aim to set you up with several Christmas tunes that you can play with your harp friends of any ability with joy at this special time of year. I will aim for us to look at and try the scores and parts so you can jump straight in knowing what to do, with tips on how to organise your rehearsal, simplify and encourage the least experienced harp friend to join in and satiate the ego of your most advanced player!  Want to run a session online with harp friends instead? I will even share ideas on how you can do that! Rather than a focus on one piece, we are looking at the ways to collaborate and celebrate playing together. I will provide new ensemble music for ‘Oh Holy Night’ and ‘See, Amid the Winter’s Snow’. I will also share arrangements I have made previously of ‘Away in a Manger’ and ‘Carol of the Bells’.  Many the ideas we will cover will be transferable to any ensemble playing you do, so perhaps we can keep this Christmas IMMERSION all year round!

  • Discuss joys and challenges of group playing, and ideas on how to instigate a duo/ensemble rehearsal.
  • Warm up – using multi-levelled group ideas so you can warm up together whatever your ability.
  • Overview and try out of Score and Parts 1 – ‘O Holy Night’

This course is similar to one week of the 12 week intensive online courses I offer, full details are available on www.FairplayHarpSchool.com

Following the same ethos and delivery style as my 12 week courses, we look at playing from sheet music, improvising and playing by ear all with an underlying focus on a good strong playing technique.

This course is aimed at beginner to advanced intermediate level harpists. So long as you can read treble and bass clef at least a little bit and can play with all four fingers (and turn) you will be ready to take this course. Simplification and extension ideas are offered as we go along so lots to keep everyone busy!

This course will initially be delivered live on 14th November 2021 from 3PM-5PM GMT. Can’t make it live? No problem, edited replay videos will available afterwards.

The videos, along with sheet music downloads for you to print out and keep and the videos will be available for 12 months after delivery for you to access at anytime.

When you sign up you will automatically receive a confirmation on email. Approximately 24 hours before the course you will be sent a link to the online classroom and to the online meeting.

Here are some comments from students who tried the last IMMERSION:

  • Insider info…..don’t miss it but prepare yourself to be bombarded with info in the nicest possible way
  • Don’t miss it! And don’t be surprised if you feel overwhelmed if you do it live. Shelley basically fits a full week of Start Harp into 2 hours, so it’s a lot to take in live — but then you can go back and work with the videos as you’re already used to doing in Start Harp. Or you can miss the live bit and just do the videos afterward. I did my best learning of Spiralling Shoots after the fact, when my brain was quiet and I could hear myself think and appreciate what I was playing.
  • I couldn’t join live so learnt it from the recordings, which are great.
  • I was glad to be on the live presentation, although it was early in the morning. However, due to more pressing priorities, I tabled my practice efforts for a future time—hopefully, in September. That is a benefit of the Immersion structure. Sign up for the class and add to your repertoire when you are ready.
  • I also saw it in the replay. It’s great to be able to go over everything slowly…
