My Europe tour has just been so powerful to get to be with people in person, many of whom I’ve spent the last couple of years getting to know online.

The photo below, which was taken in my workshop in Edinburgh, shows just how fun it is to connect with others through music.

And I love this combination of online connection and live connection. Starting online and then building into actual reality.

Baroque Flamenco Challenge

So I’m thrilled to kick off this year’s Baroque Flamenco Challenge, where harpists worldwide are invited virtually to participate in a Fun, Easy, and Free Adventure that’s focused on playing with FREEDOM!

If you haven’t joined yet, Register now for the FREE 5-day Baroque Flamenco Improv Challenge, a way for us to start our relationship or deepen our relationship in music.  This piece was a huge part of my improv journey and more and more people are finding the freedom of creative expression through this Challenge and Hip Harp Academy.

But don’t take my word for it, here’s what other harpists who joined say when asked about the challenge.

It will change your life as well as your harp playing. DHC is great at breaking things down for all levels of harpists … You can learn at your own pace. It’s been the best gift I’ve given myself in many years!~ Midyne S.

“Try the challenge. Nothing to lose and a whole world of harp playing freedom and happiness to win!” ~ Sietske T.

I learned we can deepen our emotions and journey using this structure. I love Baroque Flamenco Challenge!!” ~ Keiko I.

“It’s like no matter what…you can always come back to that baroque section. It’s the foundation of the song!” ~ Leah Z.

 “Coming back to this challenge (after a year, or two?), I am getting so much more out of it!” ~ Carol H.

 “The lessons are broken down into tiny pieces … It is good daily practice for a musician.” ~ Nisatirut L.

 “Jump in with both feet and know that you can succeed no matter your level.” ~ Kim B.

It definitely was fun with quite a lot of oooooh moments” ~ Amy H.

“It’s fun, challenging, practical, and rewarding.~ Cherrie M.

It was a great experience, and I would encourage anyone to jump in and give it a try. All you have to do is practice!” ~ Dede B.

Deborah breaks it down to 15-minute short pieces and does not confuse you, and makes it easy to learn. I found watching a Learn Harp channel harder than learning DHC’s stuff!!” ~ Julie L.

The challenges are free, and there’s lots to learn even in a week. The Academy is a wonderfully kind, supportive group of people, and there is a HUGE resource of music and instruction. Don’t hesitate!” ~ Anne J.

You definitely want to take it, even if you took it before. I took this same challenge two years ago, and I learned things differently this time. I feel that is based on where I am in my harp journey, so different aspects call out to me in new ways. There is something for everyone, no matter your level.” ~ Mary J.M.

A fast, fun, and rewarding way to learn new skills on the harp.” ~ Eileen R.

“There are so many possible takeaways related to all aspects of music, and for all technical levels, it’s actually impossible not to grow!~ Anne-Emmanuelle U.

“One of the greatest takeaways I repeatedly receive from Deborah is to just have fun. She makes everything fun!~ Julia C.

“It is amazing what you can learn in the challenge in such a short time no matter your level.” ~ Janet M.

“The beautiful thing about the challenge is that anyone at any level can participate successfully. I love doing the challenges and would encourage everyone to sign up for a DHC Challenge!~ Rebekah B.
