6 Tunes in 6 Weeks makes it super easy to play tunes like:
The Nightingale, Für Elise, Scarborough Fair and hundreds of others –
in styles like Folk, Latin, Classical & Meditation.
Best of all, you learn to apply this framework to ANY piece,
turning music you already know into an improv adventure.
The Framework makes them easy to learn.
The more you play them, the more your improv and performance skills expand.
This is NOT “more sheet music to learn”
It’s a SYSTEM and a FRAMEWORK.
Once you learn the system with these 6 tunes, you can use it with almost any tune – and because it’s built on a framework – you’ll learn to do it at your skill level.
- Fledgling Players – easily turn the most important part of each piece into a complete musical experience without having to ‘learn more music’
- Gigging Musicians – expand your repertoire instantly by expanding each tune you already play and adding new tunes easily
- Therapeutic Musicians – turn any piece into an expanded musical experience where you can focus on the people you’re playing for – not the page.
- Ensemble players – whether you play with other musicians or a harp ensemble, the framework supports improvising with others as well as solo playing
- Professionals who are stuck to the notes on the page: this system develops your improv skills by combining them with the classical skills you already have
In this 6-Week Live Class, You’ll Get:
Live Training
PLUS replays
Each week a new live training with Deborah – and replays to practice at your own pace.
6 New Tunes in 6 Weeks
In styles including Folk, Latin, Classical & Meditation & the knowhow to apply the system to hundreds of tunes.
A Powerful Framework
Let’s you learn fast, adapt music to your level and apply it to any piece – including those you already know!
What will you learn?
You’ll learn a collection of classical, folk and Latin tunes including: Scarborough Fair, The Nightingale, Baroque Flamenco (simplified), Für Elise plus more chosen in the class by popular demand.
Once you learn how to use the framework, you can use it for ANY tune and you don’t even have to learn the whole tune.
I found this amazing, as I wanted to play difficult tunes and couldn’t. I could play a simple part of a tune, for example, Claire de Lune, and stretch the rest of the tune out with the rondo improv. My audiences heard the tune that they loved and I could do lots of improv that was fun, without learning all the notes.
Some tunes I didn’t even like for example Ode to Joy but by using the rondo form I now really like it, because I can mix up the improv and make it interesting every time. ~ Cherie M.
Here’s how Cherie described her experience of the class
By doing this course you immediately learn to play 6 tunes, and this instantly builds up your repertoire, and the same recipe can be used for other tunes by using just two musical ingredients.
That means you can learn a small part of a tune that is easier to remember, and then the rest can be filled out with an improv structure without notes on a page.
It means you can play fewer tunes for longer, building your repertoire without even having to learn new tunes.
And you get to experiment with your improvisations, making it interesting every time.
- Play your Safety Melody. It is your Home base. The music you already know, music that feels solid. You own it.
- Adventure into improv. Using the patterns from class, you explore. No right or wrong move. You have the freedom to just play.
- Come home. Return to the Safety Melody. You go back after each adventure. And every time you do that, you have gone a little further than before.
- Repeat. The adventure gets bigger each time you play. Your confidence builds. The music becomes yours, and you feel the freedom and joy in playing.
You’ll get six new Improv Rondos with the class – and in the live sessions with Deborah, you’ll learn to tailor each one to your playing level – from Fledgling to Professional. Once you know how the framework works, you’ll be able to use tunes you already know and expand them with improv, too – all with the Improv Rondo method.
It’s all about CONNECTION … not perfection.
What Other Harpists Say
It has definitely been an eye-opener, very interesting! And now I have my first ever flamenco tune to add to my repertoire to improve on as the years go by ~ Davina M.
My discovery is realising how this framework can be used for many other tunes.
It’s like a recipe, just follow the structure. It’s not about learning to play this tune, it’s the foundation for many others. ~ Cherie M.
I have always been tied to the music on the page. Learning a song using no music at all has really helped free me from that. ~ Linda B.
I continue to be astounded at how easy this is when you have the framework!!
I love it!! ~ Julie Lynn P.
I can play at the level I’m comfortable with for now, knowing that there’s nothing wrong with that and that there is always room for growth! ~ Julie S.
There is a structure but also a lot of flexibility and a plan for how to make it all work!
~ Katy A.

Turn Simple Melodies into Living, Breathing Music Using the Improv Rondo Method
Meet your creative coach Deborah Henson-Conant
I’m Deborah Henson-Conant, and I’ve been composing, arranging and creating shows since I was a kid. I now play shows with symphonies and on solo stages with the electric harp that was created for me by CAMAC Harps, the “DHC” Harp.
But I started on the ukulele, playing and singing my own little-kid arrangements, telling stories, improvising and playing and singing with other people. And guess what? I use many of the same skills and principles to arrange the music I record and perform today – including the Grammy-Nominated album “Invention & Alchemy” and the song that won first prize in the International Songwriting Competiton (ISC).
