Celtic Harp with Mary King (Total beginner)
TOTAL beginner Celtic harp group classes with instructor Mary King will continue on Wednesdays, May 27, June 10, July 1, 15, 29, and Aug. 5 and 12, from 7:00-8:15 p.m. Minimum of 3 students needed; maximum 5. Fee for the 7-week session is $210. Prepayment necessary. Mary teaches by oral tradition so the goal is to learn technique and tunes by ear.
It is best if you already have a Celtic harp but if you don’t, Mary will give you ideas regarding what you are looking for, whether it’s a small lap harp, or a Celtic full size harp and where to go to buy or rent one. Contact Mary first for advice! We are currently recommending: https://harpsicleharps.com/
