Harp Workshops
Sunita offers a variety of educational experiences suitable for music schools, conservatories, harp organizations, conferences or festivals. The workshops and semniars can be tailored to the proficiency level of the participants. To organize a workshop contact Sunita.
Workshops and seminars can be a single class or a series of two to five, with separate classes for beginning, intermediate and advanced students. A single class introduces students to basic techniques and inspires them to work on music on their own in areas of traditional music that interest them. A series of workshops offers students more instruction and guidance to develop their own unique arrangements of individual melodies. |
Interludes and Endings
Ever wonder how some harpists can just sit down and play somethingbeautiful without any notes? Ever wish you had just 10 more seconds to add to a piece just as the bride arrives at the alter? Would you like more ideas besides arpeggios for an introduction to a melody? Add length, flexibility and pizzazz to your music with added introductions and interludes. Sunita will share ideas using several varied melodies to create unique improvisations that can be put to practical use right away!
All levels welcome. Bring your harps, music stands and pencils.
The Art of the Arpeggio
By using the colors of the strings and the entire range of the harp you can sound impressive after only a few months on the harp. We will learn to see patterns for chords so it doesn’t matter which
hand you play them with and we will mix up the order of the notes so that it is easier to play musically. Be prepared to look at the harp in a new way. No need to read notes or know theory. (Well, for this workshop.) (Beginners or anyone who feels they are stuck in a rut with playing the same style of arpeggios.) Harps needed, this is hands on! |

Jewish Music
for All Occasions
Always wanted to play a Jewish melody but were afraid that you would offend someone? Are you worried that you picked the wrong melody or that it doesn’t sound “Jewish” enough? Then this workshop is for you. We will learn a few different tunes that are good for bar/bat mitzvahs and weddings. We will learn a melody or two and discuss
appropriate repertoire for Ecumenical services such as Holocaust Remembrance Day. Yes, Jewish music can be played in a church! (Just don’t play Christian music in a Synagogue!) (Intermediate, harps preferred but possible harpless.)
Christmas in July
This is really a workshop about arranging for the harp. We will work on ideas of bringing starlight, snow and magic into your own arrangements without them being too difficult so that they can be played in freezing places in candlelight. We will also work on reading carols from
hymnals and transposing them so that you are prepared to work with singers and other last minute surprises! (For anyone who needs to arrange carols for
the Christmas season.) Harps needed |
"One of the best things about my harp teacher. She makes me think I can do it. [...] she has a way of helping me hear the music in the distance; she can hear the songs I'm going to play."
