These are informal gatherings of members with the objective of sharing harp music. We usually spend some time playing ensemble music with if that is the wish of the group. Whoever is leading the harp circle may bring music depending on the level and interest of the group. We use the CCHS Playbook which you can also purchase from Carolyn HInds for $11.50
At harp circles individuals are invited to play a piece being worked on. The emphasis is on sharing and encouragement, not on performance. Members are encouraged to discuss the rewards and challenges of harp playing, and questions are encouraged.
Workshops. Occasionally we have workshops that may be lead by members of the harp society or by professionals. Costs will vary based on the workshops being offered. They may be one-day events or continue over a period of a few weeks.
Ensembles. Members are encouraged
to form ensembles or Harp Circles
