You\u2019ll be able to play a jazz chart or ‘lead sheet’ at your level<\/i><\/strong> and be able to restyle it into a meditative piece if you\u2019re using this class to develop therapy harp skills. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>You\u2019ll know how to enrich the harmony of any tune you play,<\/strong> how to add improvised intros and interludes – and you\u2019ll have a library of jams so you\u2019ll know what to do when someone says \u201cLet\u2019s Jam\u201d!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a 12-Week Program — like a virtual Summer Music Camp for Harp Players — that combines four classes from the Learning Vault that work together to give you a 360\u00b0 improv experience. Here\u2019s how that works:<\/p>\n

All classes are self-paced and available as soon as you register. If you want to do this LIVE and get weekly chats and feedback, take this class in the 4th quarter of the yearlong Hip Harp Academy. That quarter\u2014Structure is Freedom\u2014<\/span>runs from October to December.<\/p>\n
