Harp Tuesday Ep. 29 - Learning 'Old English Country Dance'

In this episode of Harp Tuesday I demonstrate learning the Old English Country Dance from Mildred Dilling's "Old Tunes for New Harpists". I discuss bass patterns and trying to do two things at once.

Also uploaded a blast from the past - a video from a concert in 2001 of me playing Salzedo's Variations on Adeste Fideles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKdlzdYz_xU

I'm now teaching Skype lessons - $10 for the first lesson - email me if you're interested!

Thank you for this lesson, I always find something useful to think about as I continue in my journey to learn to play the harp! You took the words right out of my mouth when you said, " it's like patting your head and rubbing your tummy" Haha!

Can you tell me what key that song is in? Seasons Greetings to you and yours.

@myvenusharps Glad you continue to enjoy! The piece is in the key of G.
