Who is this for?

This IMMERSION is perfect for advanced beginners to advanced intermediate harpists. As long as you can read treble and bass clef (even just a little) and play with all four fingers, you’ll be able to follow along. Simplifications and extensions will be provided, so there’s plenty to keep everyone engaged!

This session follows the same ethos and delivery style as my START HARP and Flourishing Harpist 12-week intensive courses, incorporating playing from sheet music, improvisation, and playing by ear, all with a strong technical foundation.

What past IMMERSION students say…

🎶 “Insider info… don’t miss it! Be prepared to be bombarded with knowledge in the nicest possible way!”

🎶 “Shelley basically fits a full week of Start Harp into 2 hours—so it’s a lot to take in live! But you can go back and work with the videos at your own pace.”

🎶 “I couldn’t join live, but the recordings were fantastic. It was great to be able to go over everything slowly.”

🎶 “Being able to access the materials afterwards was invaluable—I signed up knowing I could revisit everything when I was ready.”
