Workshop

Irish Harp Taster Workshops

Come along to the ICC for a morning of Irish Harp Workshops with Fidelma Hanrahan.

This taster workshop will offer a chance to learn the basics of the Irish harp, starting with simple technique and repertoire. Classes will be taught by ear, with notes provided later.

The more advanced class will look at tune choices, Irish harp repertoire, ornamentation, variations and arrangement of Irish harp tunes.

Session Timings are as follows:

10am Beginners Session

11am Experience Session

The ICC will supply a limited amount of harps on the day so booking if harps are needed is a must.
