We should get together and do this by ourselves. If you would like a list of previous presenters to contact for references, please let me know. I'll be glad to provide names in your region. The structure of the scale, diatonic intervals measured from the first step of the scale, thirds and fifths on each step of the scale, the structure of Major, minor and diminished triads and the names and spelling of diatonic triads in multiple keys are presented in an incremental fashion. There is no exception or exclusion for either instrument at any point in the workshop.
Harpists frequently have opportunities to play in churches.
This repertoire is extremely useful. But even if a person chooses to concentrate on secular music, the musical aspects of this study remain constant - regardless of repertoire. The samples are separated according to five elements of musical composition which include triad inversions, use of the dominant seventh chord, various non-harmonic tones and treatment of accidentals in secondary dominant chords. In the workshop format, tunes from each category are presented initially in the key of C Major, regardless of the actual key of performance. This facilitates the study of lead sheet playing by limiting the number of chords and inversions that must be assimilated for successful participation.
