Join Cambrian Harp School Musical Director for their first Discover The Harp Course in Machynlleth.

This course is a complete introduction to playing the harp for beginners including your own Discovery 16 Harp (handmade in Wales) , Tuning Key and Course Book to take home and keep. No prior musical experience needed.

The course is suitable for ages 16 + – under 16s with musical experience also welcome but MUST be accompanied by an adult for the whole session.

By the end of the afternoon you will be surprised at how many tunes you will able to play. We will learn simple rounds, popular folk tunes and even some popular classics, including Ode to Joy, All Though The Night, Chaconne, Pwt Ar Y Bys and many more. You will have all the skills to take your International School of Musicians Step 1 Harp assessment and your certificate will follow in the post.

Numbers strictly limited.

Booking will close for this course on 1/8/2025 in order for us to build the harps in time for the big day. Numbers are restricted so early booking is essential.

Students who took this course last summer have already gone on to achieve Distinction at grade 1 with International School of Musicians using their discovery 16 Harps.

You can use your Discovery 16 Harp for Step 1 and 2 plus grades 1,2,3,4, 5 and 6 with the International School of Musicians exam board, exams to grade 8 to follow.

All 8 adult students on our recent Somerset course achieved step 1 by the end of the session, as did our last Llanrhystud group.

You can continue your new hobby with our Derwent Harp School tutors should you wish to do so.

“Hi Helen,

I really enjoyed the class yesterday. You were so welcoming. I will need lots of practice,but your inclusive and interesting way of teaching has convinced me I will eventually be able to play well.

Hearing you and Rhys play and sing All Through the Night was beautiful.I wasn’t my usual chirpy self because I’m off to hospital for a procedure tomorrow. However, the morning with you really raised my spirits.

I’m delighted with my harp and look forward to many pleasant hours with it. I especially loved the squirrels on it.

We both enjoyed our time in Wales.

Thanks again.

Kind regards
Kerrie.🐿”
