“I have been trying “noodle” for years and even though I’ve asked instructors for specifics, the only answers received are ‘you just do it.’ Thank you sooo much for offering very specific instructions on how to use fence posts, scales and more. I really feel empowered to move on and improvise with these specific skills! —Jennifer Cordier

[FRIENDS: You can add more if you want from below]
In this challenge you get the tools to create an EXPERIENCE for yourself and those you play for – an EXPERIENCE of music completely outside the bounds of ‘technical expertise’ and deep in the realm of human connection.
If that sounds a little ‘woo-woo’, it’s very practical, very simple – and if you aren’t out to create a powerful, beautiful soul-stirring experience for yourself and your audience – then why are you playing in the first place?
The Harp Improv Challenge gives you the start to building your improvisation muscles, so you can free yourself from the notes on the page and share the gift of creative expression that you KNOW is inside you.
The 2024 Harp Improv Challenge Runs October 7-13, 2024

What does freedom feel like? If you play the harp it feels like your fingers are dancing, discovering. Not tied to the notes on page, not constrained by what you’re ‘supposed’ to do. No comparing yourself to anyone else. No worries about hitting the wrong note.
Pure. Complete. Joy. All about connection – NOT perfection. That’s the joy of improvisation.
Now – what if you could learn the basics of improv in 5 short lessons – one a day for 5 days? That’s the 5-Day Harp Improv Challenge with Deborah Henson-Conant.
