COURSE (T19): REBECCA HILL – Punchy Accompaniment Skills INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED

4 DAY COURSE: Sat / Sun / Mon / Tue 9.00am-10.30am
TUTOR: Rebecca Hill
LEVEL: Intermediate/Advanced (see brochure p23 for explanation)
TEACHING METHOD – E+M: Teaching will initially be by ear with written music given out during the session.

Accompanying fiddle, bagpipes or another harp, is great fun.  It allows freedom to experiment with expressive harmonies and rich basslines, as well as an opportunity to showcase a percussive and rhythmic drive well-suited to the harp.  In this course we will look at flowing chord sequences and the importance of responding to the shape of the melody alongside techniques and punchy rhythmic patterns that can be used for jigs and reels.
