Jo Ann Smith: The Autoharp as a Solo Instrument (Saturday, Session 4, Level 3 - Intermediate, Autoharp) 15AH009
The autoharp is often used to back up vocals and it does a magnificent job in that capacity. But its ability to shine as a solo instrument is not often appreciated. In this class we will talk about ways to take a song or tune and make an arrangement that can stand on its own as a solo piece. A variety of playing techniques will be covered. The ability to play melody is required. All tunings welcome.
