Sounds like fun to play with other harps. I tried that one time but I couldn’t keep up (it was a harp circle).
17:25:18 From Julia Woods-Larsen to Everyone:

17:26:25 From Tiffany Baker to Everyone:
for clapping
17:27:46 From Sally to Everyone:
Julia, look at first page the worksheet that has the game board. It shows the layout of the piece. There’s a section that says Percussion Jam. That’s where you try to get your audience to join in with some rhythm.
17:27:47 From Julia Woods-Larsen to Everyone:
Like it – very performance and audience related.
17:28:13 From Megan to Everyone:

Calyfipso worksheet –
17:28:32 From janetmann to Everyone:
It has a catchy rhythm and is easy to remember the melody as it repeats over and over.
17:29:01 From Cherrie Mooney to Everyone:
It’s a great, easy tune to play in a group and would sound like a more complex tune.
17:30:00 From Midyne to Everyone:
Replying to “Would you clap above…”
If you’re on an acoustic harp, you can knock on the sound board instead. That works best for me.

very !
17:32:43 From Tiffany Baker to Everyone:
Replying to “Would you clap above…”
