Prep Students
Welcome to our PREP school. This is an opportunity for you to work on your Creative Harping DVD series and your required readings before the OSM and ESM start. Your mentor will gently guide you along in the process. To make it easier, we have outlined some basic DVD Mode submissions here for you. As you can see, the submission need not be any longer than 3-4 mins. You will play one of the songs from the lesson and segue into an improvisation with at least 2 left hand patterns. For beginners, that means that you can play a fifth interval together, you can break up the fifth interval and you can play them in different octaves. This happens while your right hand freely travels away and back to the root note.
Attached HERE you will find some directions for recording through a PC computer. In addition, if you have a MAC, you can either record easily through the Garage Band or through Quicktime. (You will need to pay a little extra for Quicktime Pro). If you have a built in microphone than that will suffice for your recording. You can then save the file as an MP3 and upload it here in your USER account under ‘MUSIC SUBMISSIONS’.
You may also want to submit your reading reports at this time. There are twelve book reports – seven required and five of your choice. You will find the list at (READINGLIST LINK). Please write a one-page review of each book and answer the question: “How will the content of the book help me in becoming an effective Therapeutic Harp Practitioner? Please remember to include your name, the title of the book – author, publisher. If you are an International student, you may read the books in your own language or substitute a book with the same emphasis.
Please check back to this page regularly as we will continue to post new videos that will help you along your journey.
Here is a video clip of what your Creative Harping DVD 3-4 minute music submissions simply need to be. (Click the following video images only once to open)
