Jacqueline presents an online workshop on rhythm on the harp. Students of any level playing either a lever or a pedal harp are welcome to join Jacqueline via Zoom to work on a variety of rhythms and time signatures, areas that many harp students find challenging.

​

Throughout the 90 minute class, Jacqueline will present each skill at its most basic level and then demonstrate increasingly complex exercises. Registrants will receive a PDF set of exercises, and can either refer to this, or simply follow Jacqueline's demonstrations and explanations. All students can identify the level appropriate for them and focus in on this level.

Jacqueline gives an online presentation via Zoom for students and teachers about the music of Marcel Grandjany in learning the harp. While Grandjany (1891-1975) was himself a virtuoso harpist, he devoted much of his time to teaching and composing music at a variety of levels for students.

​

Throughout this 90 minute class, Jacqueline will present many works by Grandjany, starting with his beginning pieces and moving through music of increasing complexity. In addition to demonstrating passages of each piece, Jacqueline will discuss the skills and techniques each work covers and common challenges encountered in learning it. Attendees do not need a harp for this class, as there will be no student playing.
