with Jennifer Crook
Its official - having a harpist on stage is cool! But what would you do if you were asked to play the harp with a band like Snow Patrol? Jennifer Crook will show you simple, but effective, ways to use the harp in the context of a pop group or rock band, as well as in a more stripped-down situation, with an acoustic singer-songwriter.
She will share ideas for developing harp arrangements using riffs, pedal patterns and other rhythmic techniques, and discuss harmony and song structure.
A basic level of harp technique is required, but beginners are welcome to listen.
£25.
