Intro To Harp
About Intro To Harp
Did you know the harp is a member of the string family of the orchestra? A beautiful instrument with a mellow and relaxing tone, the harp has been around for thousands of years and has evolved into two main kinds today — the lever harp and the pedal harp.
Join Lessonface Harp Teacher of the Year 2020 Melanie Mashner as she addresses frequently asked questions on learning to play the harp. How can I get a harp? Is it expensive? What do the pedals do? What's the difference between lever (folk) and pedal (concert) harp? What do the colors of the strings mean? How do you transport a harp? How do I care for my instrument? What do I do if a string breaks? Find out these answers, and learn about a few classic harp techniques, like the glissando, in this casual, fun, and informative class. Non-harpists welcome!
