Symposium for Harp Teachers

At University of Ulster, Belfast Campus, BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND 
Sunday March 1st, 2020
 

"Irish Harp, by note, rote and reason"

Methods of teaching explored and explained

This is a first event focusing on the teaching of the Irish harp.  'By note' is the classical training system where learning is literacy based; 'By Rote' is the more usual 'learning by ear' system which is about imitating the teacher in a fixed format; and learning 'By Reason' is based on the ideal of 'Music as a Language' taught organically and intuitively as a creative improvised art. Organised in association with Ulster University and sponsored by Harp Ireland. 

Programme being launched on Monday 13th January - see website for more details
