Harp Time Live – 133rd Episode – Fun with Changing Modes!-
DHC hosted a live harp session focused on teaching modal improvisation using the “Modal Improv Magic” book, where participants learned to play a rondo form in different musical modes (Ionian, Dorian, and Mixolydian) using C and G chords as a foundation. The session included guided practice with melody and improvisation sections, moving through different key signatures while maintaining the same harmonic structure.

The session began with a musical snippet demonstration focusing on rhythmic patterns using 1-5-10 in Mixolydian mode, followed by a profound metaphor about beaver ponds to explain how the academy functions as an ecosystem in which different members (observers, explorers, experimenters, and builders) contribute to the community’s richness.
