Baroque Flamenco (RUNTHROUGHS)
Start with Harps Tuned in C (but we’ll play in Aminor)
[HTL-70-210415 – HARP TIME LIVE #70 – Thu. Apr. 15, 2021]
In which we worked on “Runthroughs” of Baroque Flamenco, focusing on SOLIDIFYING the SEQUENCE – and TWEAKING the TRANSITIONS
We used a combination of the two types of “Maps” that were used in the “Baroque Flamenco Challenge”
Handout #1: The Baroque Flamenco Blueprint (aka the “Bones” of the piece)
Handout #2: The “Script” of Baroque Flamenco to help solidify sequence and tweak transitions
Here’s how to take what you learn in this session much further:
Join “Hip Harp Academy” …
or check out “Blueprints for Creativity”
where you’ll learn other Blueprints like the Baroque Flamenco Blueprint
or “Baroque Flamenco Beyond the Page”
where you can learn to add the rhythms, strumming techniques, etc. to take this piece to the next level.
Please add your own insights, revelations, and takeaways below in the comments, even if someone else already said the same thing! Just say it in your own way or say it again the way they did.
