No Levers? No Problem! Accidentals on a Lever-Free Harp

When you see an accidental on a piece of music, do you just turn the page? This workshop encourages you to stop and take a closer look. Having an understanding of Hexatonic (gapped) Scales is useful for any lever-free harp. You will learn how to recognize a gapped scale, even if it is disguised. The concept of the "correct seventh" in the minor scale is discussed, unlocking even more treasures for you. Finally, Cynthia encourages you to take the tradition on yourself, and dare to change the tune!

Recommended for any lever-free harp, from beginner to advanced player.

"I really enjoyed your "No Problem" workshop at Somerset. I feel like in one stroke, you vastly increased the number of tunes I can play on my little wire-strung, as well as my other small harps with only a few levers. Already I've found tunes I thought I had to re-tune for, or transpose, and I don't have to do either."
